The Story
Targeted to please the advanced-to-expert level snowboarder, the Alchemist is packed with functional technology. The Alchemist features two unique technologies from the K2 camp; a SpaceGlass™ tip insert and patented Spectral Braid technology. SpaceGlass™ is a pre-cured fiberglass insert that helps reduce weight, minimize chatter, and increase edge pressure. Spectral Braid allows us to adjust tip-to-tail stiffness independently from the torsional stiffness, creating a stiffer snowboard in the tip and tail to promote edge hold, while keeping it more relaxed between the feet for easy turn initiation.
A 35+ year history, collaborative rider input, and premium technology culminate in delivering the most aggressive and precision-crafted snowboard K2 has ever made. The Alchemist holds its ground as the most premium offering on freeride snowboarding today.
*Wide: A wider waist width for those with larger footprints. Recommended for boot sizes 11.5+*
