Description
The K2 Passport
Like any good exploratory mission, don’t forget to take your K2 Passport with you — the key to accessing uncharted terrain. Built for the intermediate-to-expert level rider and shaped and sized to be unisex, the Passport is directional in every way but remains switch and fakie friendly.
Slightly-wider-than-average waist width is met with 8mm of taper to ensure easy turning and float in deep snow. It’s complemented by an elongated rocker profile from the front insert pack, throughout the tip. A tighter sidecut radius in the tip and tail allows you to engage turns easily, while a longer radius between the feet makes the turn smooth and predictable progression. K2 has added a new blend of ICG 10™ Triax fiberglass to the K2 Passport, adding tip-to-tail snap with precise edge performance.
This glass layup wraps our lightweight A1 core – which features three species of sustainably harvested timber, and all of it sits atop a fast and durable Sintered 4000 base.
Passport Technology
Sintered 4000 Base:
Our Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.
A1 Core:
Lightweight, snappy, and durable, our 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 help to reduce swingweight.
ICG™ 10 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.
Hybridtech™ Construction:
Backed by years of rigorous testing, Hybritech™ is the lightest weight, most durable snowboard construction on the market. Removing all excess sidewall material in the tip and tail and adding a 3D capped edge to increase the bond strength of the fiberglass and decrease the swing weight of the board is what makes Hybritech so revolutionary. Our boards will spin faster, maneuver easier, and last longer than any other boards on the market.
