K2 Excavator vs Nitro Cinema

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the K2 Excavator leans more freeride/powder. The K2 Excavator uses a directional shape while the Nitro Cinema is directional twin. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The K2 Excavator is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
