K2's premier model can be looked at totally as the sum of it's parts. It's been meticulously built with top notch materials- The directional Alchemist is a fully cambered profile, with a stiff flex built to hit any terrain on the planet. K2 starts with their lightweight harvested Bambooyah TM Pro Core- it's unmatched durability, strength, and dampening. K2's Spectral Braid is a patent pending tech utilizing various geometric carbon compositions to precision tune torsional flex. It gives the board unparalleled stability in all conditions. Carbon Power Fork in the tail snap the board in and out of each turn, while also adding stiffness to help you land the biggest drops. K2 uses Tweekend TM on the board's nose for predictable feeling on every turn. Weight in the nose is cut via Space Glass construction, and it adds durability to withstand the harshest terrain. It's all sandwiched in triaxially braided fiberglass, and Carbon Infused 5500 Sintered Base, with their fastest and most durable base material, so you can complete your line in one piece.
2021 K2 Alchemist Snowboard
TRIAXIAL GLASS: A glass laminate with diagonal layers that adds torsional stiffness for increased stability and improved edge hold. The fibers three layers of fibers are woven at 45°, 45°, and 0°. This makes for a more responsive ride longitudinally and torsionally.
CARBON INFUSED 5500 SINTERED BASE: Fast, light, and strong. Our Carbon Infused 5500 Sintered base is the cream of the crop. By adding carbon to a sintered base, we’ve increased wax retention and decreased drag for a faster, smoother ride.
COMBINATION CAMBER BASELINE: The best of both worlds. By blending both traditional Camber and Rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both; the pop and precision of camber, and the float and predictability of rocker. Available in Directional and Twin Combinations.
BAMBOOYAH™ PRO CORE: K2's all new Bambooyah™ Pro Core takes a decade of bamboo cores and takes it up another notch. Equal parts performance, renewable, and durable, we’ve blended three different species of wood to create the most premium core in our offering. Bamboo and aspen are placed at 30 ° underfoot to 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 and complementary tip to tail bamboo stringers help with snap, stability, and damping.
CARBON POWER FORK™: Equal parts snap and energy transfer, the ultra lightweight Carbon Power Fork™ additives are dynamically flexing to optimize the performance in a snowboard. Carbon Power Fork™ additives are strategically shaped to offer greater response and energy return by increasing the width toward the tail - allowing for more material to be engaged, and more energy to be created the harder the tail is flexed.
SPACEGLASS™: 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.
