The North Star in the K2 Snowboarding snowboard offering, and the marquee of the Landscape Collection, the Alchemist is a hard-charging, directional freeride board for the skilled rider.
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.
Recess3D technology in the nose removes excess material from the board, adds visual depth to the top sheet and reduces chatter – all without sacrificing strength.
A thirty-five-year history, collaborative rider input, and premium technology culminate in delivering the most aggressive and precision-crafted snowboard we’ve ever made. The Alchemist holds its ground as the most premium offering on freeride snowboarding today.
Features
• S1 Core: The smooth-flexing cousin to our A1 core, our 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 ° angles to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge.
• Spectral Braid (Alchemist): An integrated carbon weave for enhanced torsional rigidity, responsiveness, and maneuverability
• Spaceglass™: An American made Aerospace grade precure fiberglass core insert used to provide unmatched structural performance at reduced weight. SpaceGlassTM inserts increase edge hold along contact points, reduce chatter, and provide unequaled durability.
• Recess 3D: Reduces materials in low-stress zones, minimizing swing weight and tip-and-tail chatter without compromising strength
• Carbon Power Fork™: Equal parts snap and energy transfer, the ultra lightweight Carbon Power Fork™ additives are dynamically flexing to optimize the performance in a snowboard. Carbon Power Fork™ additives are strategically shaped to offer greater response and energy return by increasing the width toward the tail - allowing for more material to be engaged, and more energy to be created the harder the tail is flexed.
• Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base: Utilizes the hardest and fastest sintered base material from Crown for extended wax retention, delivering a smoother glide
• Sno-Phobic Top Sheet: Prevents snow buildup, maintaining a lightweight and nimble board
