K2 Excavator vs Lib Tech T. Rice Pro

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the K2 Excavator leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff). At $579.95 vs $699.99 MSRP, the K2 Excavator is the more budget-friendly option.
