Taking the strongest parts of it’s previous existence and evolving, the all-new K2 Aterblack was engineered for serious durability with a focus on classic freestyle flex, and feel, with modern maneuverability.
We’ve taken a proven construction and design philosophy and listened to our team riders to bring together the all-new K2 Afterblack twin tip snowboard. Team riders Mark Wilson and Justin Phipps weighed in heavy on tip & tail shape, sidecut radius, blend zone, and camber profile. After rounds of testing on the hill and in the streets, we signed the dotted line on the second incarnation of the K2 Afterblack.
Designed for the intermediate-to-expert level snowboarder, the Afterblack is a mid-flexing true-twin with a Combination Camber Profile (with camber in between the bindings and rocker on the outside of the binders) giving it a playful feel while still being able to hold speed and track straight into the next feature. Its tri-blend BAP Core blends bamboo, aspen, and paulownia woods to deliver snap and rebound while dampening vibration on the harshest landings. Wrapping the core, tip-to-tail triaxially woven fiberglass and Carbon Darkweb™ gives the Afterblack stability and edge control for popping off lips and sending big side hits.
A Team favorite, right out of the gate, the Bond snowboard binding was developed with the help of riders like Gabe Ferguson, Parker Szumowski, and Antti Jussila. The most freestyle-focused binding in our men’s collection, the Bond prides itself on being lightweight, flexible, and comfortable. This do-it-all snowboard binding features a set of no-frills straps atop a vibration damping This Grips!™ basepad.
By utilizing eco-conscious and recycled materials instead of plastics and EVA, we have made significant strides in sustainability. Our manufacturing process relies on over 40% solar-powered energy, and our packaging is FSC-certified, utilizing cardboard and recycled paper instead of plastics.
As a result, we have achieved impressive reductions in our carbon footprint – it’s not perfect, but it’s a click in the right direction:
- The Bond binding uses ~40% Bio-based material by volume and ~25% by weight.
SD1 Ankle Strap and Wrap Toe Straps have seen a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to traditional TPU straps.
The castor-bean-based Team Highback offers ~a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to a nylon highback.
Sugarcane EVA Shockpad offers a ~90% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to traditional EVA.
