K2 Excavator Snowboard - 2025

Named for its intended use, the K2 Excavator specializes in digging deep trenches on groomers and displacing powder after a storm cycle. Built around a wider perimeter, with a dual radius sidecut, the Excavator is unisex in approach. The Excavator’s wider profile allows riders to size down around 5cm from their usual length without sacrificing performance, and it’s extra width and 20mm taper benefits riders with larger feet, reducing toe drag on deep carves and long traverses. A combination of a smooth-flexing S1 core and tail to tail ICG 10 Biax Glass keeps the Excavator responsive and damp underfoot. K2 also added their pre-cambered Carbon Power Forks to allow for an energy boost in and out of turns and those spontaneous “Slow Sign” ollies. The Excavator is packed with tech to keep you playful and floaty when powder is on the forecast.

Features

Volume Shift: Swing weight and toe/heel drag reduced by shifting surface area from the tip and tail to the waist of the snowboard. Downsize from 4-10 cm from your usual snowboard length
Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base: Built using the hardest and fastest Sintered base material on the market from Crown, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 holds wax longer than other Sintered bases for a smoother glide, longer
S1 Core: The smooth-flexing cousin to K2's A1 core, the New S1 Core is designed to be damp underfoot and stronger than hell. Constructed from Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia, the S1 Core let’s each wood do what it’s best for. Tip-to-tail Bamboo stringers add snap, durability, and damping underfoot and are balanced out by lightweight Paulownia in the midbody, tip, and tail help to reduce swingweight. Underfoot, Aspen and Bamboo are placed at 30 degree angles to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge
ICG 10 Carbon Glass: Increases the snowboard's pop, liveliness, and longevity without adding unnecessary rigidity
Carbon Power Fork: A pre-cambered carbon inlay in the tail of your snowboard gives the board energy in and out of turns and adds extra pop for takeoffs and landings
Hybridtech Construction: Removing all excess sidewall material in the tip and tail and adding a 3D capped edge to increase the bond strength of the fiberglass and decrease the swing weight of the board is what makes Hybritech so revolutionary
2x4 Insert Binding Mounting: 2x4 Insert packs allow for secure binding mounting while optimizing stance-width options. Time-tested, secure, and stable
