K2 Freeloader Split Package 2024
Regular price $2,599.95 Save $0.00Countless hours on the skin track. A healthy number of summits and ridgelines, and more pow turns than we can count. It’s 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.
RIDER TYPE: Touring / Backcountry
ABILITY: Advanced / Expert
Rocker Type
Directional Combination Camber – The best of both worlds. By blending both traditional camber and rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both; the pop and precision of camber, and the float and predictability of rocker.
Flex
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
Core
Paulownia Tour Lite – Up to 500g lighter than an average core to reduce touring fatigue.
Laminates
ICG 20 Triax Carbon Glass – Integrating 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.
Base
Carbon Infused Sintered 5500 Base – Fast, light, and strong. This base is the cream of the crop. By adding carbon to a sintered base, K2 has increased wax retention and decreased drag for a faster, smoother ride.
Topsheet
SnoPhobic Topsheet – Helps eliminate snow buildup while touring up and riding down.
Additional Features
Karakoram Ultra Clips – USA made tip and tail clips for unmatched security.
K2 Backside Skins Included – Made in collaboration with POMOCA, these 100% mohair skins have are pre-trimmed to fit the board. They have Z-Clip attachments, tail clasps, and tip hooks.
Riser, Mounting Pucks, and Hardware Included
Binding Compatibility
Splitrack Inserts – K2's Split Track mounting system opens up a whole new dimension for avid split boarders. No longer are stance's limited by stiff pucks, K2's opened it up to allow any desired stance on earth. Freedom to roam.
