K2 Standard vs Salomon Craft

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Salomon Craft leans more freestyle. The K2 Standard uses a directional twin shape while the Salomon Craft is twin. The K2 Standard has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Salomon Craft uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Salomon Craft is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The K2 Standard targets intermediate riders while the Salomon Craft is aimed at advanced riders.
