Description

Countless hours on the skin track. A healthy number of summits and ridgelines, and more pow turns than we can count. Its all lead to this. The K2 Freeloader was built to climb faster, descend sharper, and get you further into the backcountry than any splitboard K2 has ever built.

The K2 Freeloader Splitboard package is built on the same unisex outline as the Marauder Split. A bit of taper in the tail of the Freeloader helps it sink in the deep stuff, while the wider nose stays up well above the surface and blasts through choppy snow. The Paulownia TourLite core is ultra-lightweight and is wrapped in a triaxial braided fiberglass featuring our ICG 20 technology. By integrating 20 tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into the fiberglass, K2 add pop to the board without unnecessary weight for edging and traversing on firm slopes and extra snappiness on the decent. The premium top sheet technology, called Snophobic, reduces snow build-up on the top of the board while climbing to keep you moving fast and light. Less weight equals longer tours and more laps.

ICG 20 Triax Carbon GlassIntegrating tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass layups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.
