Jones Frontier vs K2 Instrument

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Jones Frontier leans more freestyle, while the K2 Instrument leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The K2 Instrument is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
