K2 Manifest vs K2 Medium
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the K2 Manifest leans more freeride/powder. The K2 Manifest uses a directional shape while the K2 Medium is twin. The K2 Manifest has a hybrid (camber/rocker) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the K2 Medium uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). At $599.95 vs $649.95 MSRP, the K2 Medium is the more budget-friendly option.
