Excavator 2023
K2 Excavator Snowboard Named for its intended use, the K2 Excavator specializes in digging deep trenches on groomers and displacing powder after the storm cycle. Built around a mid-wide outline with a dual-radius sidecut, the K2 Excavator snowboard caters to the advanced level rider looking for a directional snowboard to carve on groomers and float in the soft snow. Camber Profile Directional Camber Profile - Camber between the feet and a slight rocker in the tip gives you all of the power and energy of a cambered snowboard, but with a little extra float on those deep days. Flex Flex Rating - 7/10 (1=Soft-, 10=Stiff) Shape Directional Core Bambooyah(TM) Core - Taking influence from skateboard manufacturing, K2 Bambooyah(TM) Blended cores are strong as hell and come packed with a complete 5-year warranty. Laminates ICG 10 Biaxial Glass - Integrating tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass layups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity. Carbon Torque Forks - Adding carbon that extends from the inserts to the contact point allows for an extra responsive and stable ride. Base Carbon Infused 5500 Sintered Base - Fast, light and strong. The carbon infused sintered 5500 base is the cream of the crop. By adding carbon to a sintered base, K2 has increased the wax retention and decreased drag for a faster, smoother ride.
