How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the K2 Afterblack leans more freestyle. The K2 Afterblack uses a twin shape while the Nitro Team is directional twin. The K2 Afterblack 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 Nitro Team uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Nitro Team is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The K2 Afterblack targets advanced riders while the Nitro Team is aimed at expert riders.
