Jones Ultra Mountain Twin vs K2 Hypnotist

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Jones Ultra Mountain Twin leans more freestyle/freeride. The Jones Ultra Mountain Twin uses a directional twin shape while the K2 Hypnotist is twin. The Jones Ultra Mountain Twin 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 Hypnotist uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff). At $599.95 vs $649.95 MSRP, the K2 Hypnotist is the more budget-friendly option.
