Impression of the graphic:
A classic design that was used back in the late 80's/early 90's. People who have been riding a lot of years will love it.
Can remind of:
This is a K2 original, they haven't copied anyone here.
How stiff is it:
Depends on the situation. For instance, deep powder and just a little powder gives different impressions of stiffness, but it works perfectly.
How is the side-cut:
It's a long board which means long side-cut and great speeds.
How is the pop:
This isn't a board made for ollies and nollies, but it pops well in powder.
How is the response/manoeuvrability:
Extremely good in powder and high speeds, but it's not a board made for a park.
How is the board on park-jumps:
We don't recommend this board for park jumps, since it's a powder board. You should rather go for the K2 "Turbodream" model if you want an all-round board which you can use in the park.
How is the board on rails:
This board is not meant for rails.
How is the board in powder and at freeriding:
It floats well and can handle great speeds. At the same time it is easy to manoeuvre in dense forests. This board can add a whole new dimension to flat terrains.
Best suited for:
Free-riding.
Best feature:
That something that looks this weird can be this amazing.
Worst feature:
It only works for what it is built for, which is free-riding.
