- ▼Product Description
When we introduced the PASSPORT - the feedback from our Team riders, Retail partners, and the conversations we’ve had in the liftlines (Whattup Alpental and Brighton Locals?!) - we knew we had a winner.
The waist width, sidecut, camber profile, and taper were spot on - but some riders we spoke to were looking for something a bit more robust for higher speeds and steeper terrain, and we said…”let’s make some prototypes.” We did, they were okay, so we made some more, and some more, and they f#cking ruled.
The result of proto round #3… the COMMONWEALTH - using the same shape and geometry that has made the Passport successful, with a more “beefed up” feature set for riders looking for something a bit more demanding. Our A1 Core gets wrapped in a heavier weight tri-axial fiberglass, which is then layered in our patented Spectral Braid™️ - a piece of technology that we developed that allows you to fine tune the tip-to-tail flex of the snowboard independently from the torsional flex - it rules, we promise. We topped it all off with a wax infused sintered 4001 base to make sure you’re not getting stuck in the flats.
We believe that everyone should be able to experience the mountains - so the Commonwealth was designed and tested for all-genders. Starting at a 146 and sizing all of the way up to 166W-, this snowboard’s construction, waist width, and flex profile is scaled to meet the needs of the riders for each respective size.
- ◄Features
- Wax Infused Sintered 4001 Base – Built using the hardest and fastest Sintered base material on the market from Crown, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 holds wax longer than other Sintered bases for a smoother glide, longer.
- A1 Core – Sustainably harvested bamboo, aspen, and paulownia combine to deliver a snappy and responsive feel. Our A1 and S1 cores are backed by a 5-year warranty against breakage.
- Triax Glass – A fiberglass weave intersecting at three angles provides extra torsional stiffness and overall strength.
- Spectral Braid – K2’s Patented (U.S. Patent No. 10,857,445) Spectral Braid is a first-of-its-kind variable angle reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the snowboard. This makes our snowboards feel lively, energetic, and remarkably composed.
- SnoPhobic Top Sheet – This top sheet material sheds unwanted snow build-up, keeping your snowboard light and nimble.
