K2 Brain Dead Excavator vs K2 Instrument

How they compare

the K2 Brain Dead Excavator leans more powder, while the K2 Instrument leans more freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
