Thraxis

Description

When it comes to technical features, supreme fit, and ultimate response, the Thraxis is a clear leader in the freeride category. The stiffest flexing and most supportive model in our collection, this snowboard boot is for the most demanding of riders.

The Thraxis’ Zonal BOA® Fit System features three BOA® dials, two targeting zonal exterior lacing, and one controlled K2’s Conda™ liner lacing system. By placing a soft, urethane “chip” around the 45° degree of the ankle, we’ve allowed riders to micro-adjust their boot fit and eliminate heel lift. Wrapping the foot, we’ve placed our most supportive liner, composed of multiple densities of heat-moldable Intuition® foam. This open-cell foam means that it can be re-molded time and time again to achieve the perfect fit throughout the boot’s life. The liner is lined with our breathable and heat-reflecting Space heater™ material, keeping riders warm and dry all day long. And lastly, we’ve integrated a 95% post-consumer recycled coffee mesh from SCafe™ into the liner to help eliminate unwanted odor after a long day on the hill. Underfoot, the midsole combines a lightweight and stable EVA and Harsh mellow™, a proprietary technology that helps absorb impact, increase damping, and provide a “quieter” feel while snowboarding.

The outsole on the Thraxis snowboard boot is our ALL-NEW Vibram® V5 outsole, providing unmatched traction in the boot pack and is made using at least 30% recycled rubber through the Vibram® Eco step program.

BEST FOR:

FLEX:

THE H4 COILER BOA® FIT SYSTEM:

The H4 Coiler BOA® Fit System focuses on the instep of the boot. This feature generates unrivaled heel hold and creates a secure fit for quick edge response.

CONDA™ BOA® LINER LACING:

Proprietary liner lacing system that harnesses the power of BOA® to provide superior heel hold and support.

VIBRAM® V5 RUBBER OUTSOLE:

Our most premium rubber compound provides industry leading durability and grip and integrated with Harsh mellow™ foam to absorb chatter and vibration.

ENDO™ 2.0 CONSTRUCTION:

A K2 Snowboarding exclusive, Endo™ Construction, allows us to alter a snowboard boot’s flex, response, and rebound without adding extra materials (extra materials = excess weight). By replacing additional materials with an injected heel counter, adding an extra rebound is as easy as a formula change. In addition, it helps us to provide a more consistent flexing, longer-lasting snowboard boot.

HARSHMELLOW™ VIBRATION DAMPING:

Harsh mellow™ is a magical dampening system that replaces industry-standard foam dampening materials. Harsh mellow™ is strategically placed to dampen vibration underfoot to provide a “quieter” feel underfoot, reduce vibration from impact, and reduce fatigue while snowboarding.
