Arbor Relapse vs K2 Manifest

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Arbor Relapse leans more freestyle. The Arbor Relapse uses a twin shape while the K2 Manifest is directional twin. The Arbor Relapse has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the K2 Manifest uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
