K2 Broadcast vs K2 Manifest

How they compare

the K2 Broadcast leans more all mountain, while the K2 Manifest 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 Broadcast 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 K2 Manifest uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The K2 Broadcast is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
