22/23 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
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.
