K2 Alchemist Snowboard 2024

The Alchemist is the flagship snowboard in the K2 Snowboarding lineup and a standout in the Landscape Collection. Designed for skilled riders seeking an exhilarating freeride experience, the Alchemist is loaded with cutting-edge technology.

At its core, the Alchemist features two unique K2 technologies: SpaceGlass™ and Spectral Braid. SpaceGlass™ is a pre-cured fiberglass insert in the tip that reduces weight, dampens chatter, and increases edge pressure. Spectral Braid allows for independent adjustment of tip-to-tail stiffness, resulting in a stiffer board in the tip and tail for superior edge hold, while maintaining a more relaxed flex between the feet for easy turn initiation. The Alchemist also incorporates Recess3D technology in the nose, which removes excess material to reduce chatter and add visual depth to the top sheet, all without compromising strength.

With a rich 35-year history, input from collaborative riders, and premium technology, the Alchemist is the epitome of aggressive and precision-crafted snowboarding. As the pinnacle of K2's freeride offerings, the Alchemist delivers unmatched performance for riders seeking the ultimate in freeride snowboarding.

Features:

• S1 Core - The smooth-flexing cousin to our A1 core, our S1 Core is designed to be damp underfoot and stronger than hell. Constructed from Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia, the S1 Core lets 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 swing weight. Underfoot, Aspen and Bamboo are placed at 30 ° angles to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge.

• Spectral Braid - K2’s Patented (U.S. Patent No. 10,857, 445) Spectral Braid is a first of its kind variable angle reinforcement that allows for precision tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the snowboards. This makes our snowboards feel lively, energetic, and remarkably composed. 
  

• 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. 
  

• Recess3D - By reducing the number of materials in low-stress zones, we’re able to minimize the swing weight of your snowboard while also reducing chatter in the tip and tail - all without sacrificing strength.
  

• 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.
  

• 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.
