K2 NISEKO PLEASURES SNOWBOARD 2025
Inspired by one of the world's ultimate powder and groomer destinations, the K2 Niseko Pleasures takes its name from the Niseko region of Hokkaido, Japan. Tweaked, and tested, and-and-approved, by long-time K2 Snowboarding Team Rider Yo Amagai, K2 tapped into the locals' knowledge to develop the best possible tool for riding powder and groomers.
The Niseko Pleasures is built for the advanced-to-expert snowboarder, features smooth-flexing Bambooyah™ Pro Core, biaxial fiberglass lay-up, fast Carbon Infused 5500 Sintered Race Base, waxable P-Tex sidewalls, and a snow-shedding SnoPhobic™ top sheet. Its tapered directional shape helps the tail sink while easing turn initiation and exit for effortless edge changes on any terrain.
The tip and tail shape, a wider-than-normal waist width, and 20mm of taper work perfectly to glide through powder and keep the nose well above the snow for easy navigation and maneuverability. The mid-wide shape allows riders to downsize ~5cm from their standard snowboard length without sacrificing float.
FEATURES
- Volume Shift™: K2 reduced swing weight and toe/heel drag 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.
- Carbon Infused 5500 Sintered Base: The hardest, fastest, and the most wax-absorbing base K2 makes, the 5500 Sintered Material gets carbon additives that reduce friction and glides smoother.
- Bambooyah™ Core: Sustainably harvested bamboo, aspen, and paulownia combine to deliver a damp and responsive feel. K2's Bambooyah™ cores are backed by a 5-year warranty against breakage.
- Biax Glass: A fiberglass weave intersecting at 90º angles provides the proper torsional flexibility and strength.
- Hybridtech™ Construction: Backed by years of rigorous testing, Hybritech™ is the lightest weight, most durable snowboard construction on the market. 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. Their boards will spin faster, maneuver easier, and last longer than any other boards on the market.
- Snophobic™? Topsheet: Helps eliminate snow build up while touring up and riding down.
