K2 Instrument vs Nitro Pow

How they compare

Both target powder terrain, while the K2 Instrument leans more all mountain/freeride. 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). The K2 Instrument targets advanced riders while the Nitro Pow is aimed at expert riders.
