Freeride Snowboards

Keeping its namesake to honor Aaron Robinson, we've re-shaped the K2 Manifest for the 2022-2023 season. Its DNA remains similar, with a new sidecut radius, tip and tail shape, and a refined camber profile. A mid-flexing directional-twin that's built to withstand the beating that comes along with big mountain riding, the Manifest sits atop a Combination Camber Profile, with camber between the inserts, a bit of rocker in the tail, and a more extended amount of rise in the nose for float and a catch-free feel. The goal with the Manifest was always to make a quiver-killer that straddled the lines between freeride and freestyle. Our more aggressive A1 Core is built from sustainably harvested timber and is backed by a five-year warranty against breakage for peace of mind. Carbon DarkWeb™ stringers are placed underfoot and extend from edge to edge to ensure a? precise response, and ICG™ 20 Triax Fiberglass with tip-to-tail carbon increases pop and delivers stability through chop and chunder. Feature 1: NEW! A1 Core - Lightweight, snappy, and durable, our ALL NEW! A1 Core is made from three renewable species of timber - Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia. Aspen-dominant to highlight the snap and response of this wood, we've combined it with Bamboo at 30 ° underfoot to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. We've also placed lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail to help to reduce swing weight. Feature 2: ICG™ 20 Triax Carbon Glass - Integrating Carbon Fiber stringers that run the length of the board into our fiberglass increases the snap of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity. Feature 3: Carbon DarkWeb™ - Carbon stringers extend at 45º angles from the inserts in an "X" pattern, adding responsiveness and stability at all speeds. Feature 4: Hybritech™ Sidewall Construction - A K2 exclusive. By transitioning from a P-Tex sidewall into a capped construction in the tip and tail of our snowboards, we can reduce waste while giving our snowboards better energy transfer and making them more durable than our competitors. Feature 5: Sintered 4000 Base - Hard, fast, and durable, our Sintered Base material holds wax better than extruded materials increasing speed and glide.
