K2 Courier vs K2 Medium

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the K2 Medium leans more freestyle. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The K2 Courier has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the K2 Medium uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The K2 Courier targets beginner riders while the K2 Medium is aimed at expert riders. At $449.95 vs $599.95 MSRP, the K2 Courier is the more budget-friendly option.
