https://xn--qck5b4ef.net/k2-thraxis/The stiffest freeride boot in K2's line. It's built for sharp carving and instant response in powder. Three dials let you tune the tension zone by zone, with a well-insulated liner and a rubber-reinforced flex-zone upper. Its character is distinct enough that it divides opinion — if you want something with a bit more give, K2's own ASPECT is the better pick.

Good
- ✓The stiffest K2, so response is instant when carving hard and at speed
- ✓Three dials let you tune tension zone by zone
- ✓Well insulated, which helps on cold days
- ✓The rubber-reinforced upper gives solid support
Not so good
- —Very stiff, so it doesn't suit beginners or intermediates
- —Expensive (list price in the ¥60,000 range)
- —Made in small numbers, so it sells out often
