K2 Hit Machine 2014 Snowboard
A new model from K2 this year is the Hit Machine. Combining a flat profile (Freestyle with Tweekend) with the high-end Carbon web additive creates a freestyle driven board that is equipped to take your riding to the next level. Specification: Profile: Freestyle (Flat) Running length: 121.84 Waist width: 24.70 Sidecut radius: 7.9 Setback: Centred Flex: Not specified (Specification based on the 155cm board) Note: Topsheet and base colours are size specific and may vary Features: The Freestyle baseline has long flat zone that extends right through from the start of the nose to the start of the tail with no camber or rocker sections. The increased base contact makes for a fast ride with an incredibly forgiving feel. K2 have flattened and extended the nose and tail to produce their trade mark
Tweekends. This provides a larger platform by increasing the base contact right to the tips. This gives you a bigger and more stable platform for presses, landings and increased float in powder. With a sidewall that extends along the effective edge and flows into in the nose and tail Hybritech construction provides the benefits of low swing-weight, optimised turn initiation and durability. A Twin Hyper Progressive sidecut is an infinite blend of different radius designed to be responsive at high speeds but smooth enough for butters. The true twin shape of the board requires a twin sidecut so the board feels exactly the same whether it’s ridden regular or switch. Three species of renewable wood run tip-to-tail to make up the W2 Core. This construction provides optimised strength,
weight reduction and dampening without additional materials. Combined Triax/Biax Glass provide the perfect balance of smooth all-purpose performance with a stiffer torsional flex for improved edge hold and stability. The NEW Carbon Web I additive brings pop and snap closer to the bindings. Extending from the outermost binding inserts to the edges (in L shapes), Carbon Web transfers energy out to the parts of the board that really effect edge grip and turn initiation. 4000 Sintered Base is the fastest natural base material available. It Absorbs wax deeper and retains it for longer and is also exceptionally durable. The Hit Machine is a freestyle board with versatility. The flat profile with Tweekend is incredibly fun, even on the ‘bad whether’ days when butters are the order of the
day, but don’t think that this board is a super-soft noodle. It has fairly stiff torsional flex as a result of the Carbon Web and Triax fibreglass laminate and that makes it an all encompassing ‘park board’ that can tackle rails and big ‘hits’ alike. Is it for me? It’s ideal for the resort rider that wants to maximise fun whatever the conditions. Freestyle riders that want a looser and more forgiving feel will be a home on the Freestyle Baseline, whilst the pop and stability from Carbon Web means you’ll be hitting both the rails and pro line kickers with confidence.
