K2 Instrument vs Nitro Team

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the K2 Instrument leans more freeride/powder. The K2 Instrument uses a directional shape while the Nitro Team is directional twin. The K2 Instrument 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 Nitro Team uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff). The K2 Instrument targets advanced riders while the Nitro Team is aimed at expert riders.
