K2 Afterblack vs K2 Hypnotist

How they compare

the K2 Afterblack leans more freestyle, while the K2 Hypnotist leans more all mountain. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. The K2 Hypnotist is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
