K2 Afterblack vs Ride Psychocandy

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the K2 Afterblack leans more freestyle. The K2 Afterblack uses a twin shape while the Ride Psychocandy is directional. 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 Ride Psychocandy uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
