Product description
Ingenious freeride snowboard in the K2 family
The Excavator is a vital part of the K2 Line. It is designed to explore the entire mountain with hard turns and sharp edges. Backcountry slopes, steep runs, and sidehits are what its made for. The Excavator's special topsheet prevents snow from accumulating on it, while the S1 Core ensures durability and best pop.
Riding style
All day in the powder, on steep backcountry slopes and icy descents. This freeride board gives you the tools for the ultimate days on the mountain.
Shape
The directional shape ensures uplift for trips into the powder, offers stability and control, and guarantees pop. Taper means the nose is wider than the tail, promoting smooth turn entry, exit, and stability at high speeds. The larger volume in the front area furthermore allows you to make effortless turns in deep and soft snow and increases the float enormously.
Profile
The Excavator has a camber under the bindings and a rocker in the nose area. This combination allows for endless uplift in powder without sacrificing edge hold. The indicated swallow tail sinks into the snow, offering even more buoyancy.
Flex
A harder flex guarantees full control, reactivity, and agility in all conditions.
Construction
The S1 Core retains its pop for a long time and is designed to increase pressure on the edges. Carbon Power Forks are struts in the tail that provide extra pop and response. ICG™ 10 carbon biax fiberglass offers minimal torsional flex and a forgiving riding experience. The Carbon Power Forks™ ensure the best energy transfer and snap. Rounding out the high-quality construction, the wax-infused 4001 Sintered Base is a fast base that will stay that way if you take proper care of it.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
