K2 Brain Dead Excavator vs K2 Marauder Split Package

How they compare

the K2 Brain Dead Excavator leans more powder, while the K2 Marauder Split Package 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. The K2 Brain Dead Excavator has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the K2 Marauder Split Package uses other (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
