K2 Antidote Snowboard

K2

The Leader in Backcountry Freestyle

We delivered the board our team riders always wanted with the Antidote. Targeted at advanced-to-expert level riders whose style blurs the lines between freeride and freestyle. From resort charging to even the heaviest of freestyle features, the Antidote can handle whatever you throw at it. This directional twin is strapped with technology, most notably, our patented SpaceGlass™ technology found in the tip and tail. Weight reduction and a more rigid material allows for quicker spins and better edge pressure at the contact points. Recess3D technology removes excess material from the board, minimizing swing weight and chatter while also adding visual depth to the top sheet. The Antidote’s most defining feature is its 3D Base Contour. Just 3mm of contour with 3D shaping deflects snow, eases turn initiation and plows through chunder when things get hectic. Get on the Antidote wave and experience a more “catch free” ride.

Additional Features

recess3d Topsheet – By reducing the amount of materials in low-stress zones, K2 is able to reduce the swing weight of your snowboard, while also reducing chatter in the tip and tail - all without sacrificing strength.

Shape + Flex

Twin Camber Profile – A twin camber profile makes the snowboard under your feet lively and poppy helping you track straight into jumps and pop ollies over fences.

Construction + Core

A1 Core: Lightweight, snappy, and durable, the 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, it's combined with bamboo at 30 ° underfoot to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. They've also placed lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail help to reduce swing weight.

ICG™ 20 Triaxial Carbon 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 DarkWeb™ – A carbon fiber X-pattern that is strategically placed underfoot from edge-to-edge to speed up transitions, increase control, and increase underfoot strength.

SpaceGlass™ Tip and Tail – An American made Aerospace grade precure fiberglass core insert used to provide unmatched structural performance at reduced weight. SpaceGlass™ inserts increase edge hold along contact points, reduce chatter, and provide unequaled durability.

Base + Edges

Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base – Built using the hardest and fasted sintered base material on the market, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base holds wax longer than other sintered bases for smoother, longer lasting glide.

3D Nose Contour – 3D contour (spoon) that is gradually blended from the running sur-face deflects soft snow, eases turn initiation, while remaining predictable on hardpack.
