K2 Instrument vs Nitro Team Pro

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 Pro 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 Pro 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 Pro is aimed at expert riders.
