How they compare
The K2 Backup uses a flat shape while the K2 Press is twin tip. The K2 Backup has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the K2 Press uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The K2 Backup targets expert riders while the K2 Press is aimed at intermediate riders.
