The Gyrator

Never a day to deep

The Gyrator combines legendary K2 performance with Rocker technology for those ready to go where no rider has gone before. Effortless float replace any and all leg burn while slightly stiffer nose and tail increase pop and provide stability whether you're dropping a pillow line or sticking a 60 foot tabletop. No directional board limitations and Hyper progressive side cut lets you float through the deep stuff while still handling groomers and flats with ease. Fast, stable and fun. Either you're in or you're left behind.

Construction Features:

Rocker: Redefine your boundaries.
Replacing camber with Rocker may be the best improvement in snowboarding to date! ROCKER helps the board rise to the surface of the snow while the rider maintains a centered balance for maximum control forward or switch. Get in some deeper snow and you'll have a HUGE smile! The shorter Hyper progressive edge makes the board maneuverable and lively on groomed terrain while the pre-set Rocker allows you to jib in style. A stiffer nose and tail prevent the board from buckling whether you are dropping a pillow line or sticking a 60- foot table top. Rock-on!

Tip tech: Hybritaper takes our current Hybritech Construction, and tapers out the core at the tip and tail to reduce the swing weight. We blend the tips from a cap into a thin sandwich removing the sidewall where you don't need it.

Shape: Hyper Progressive. Similar to a formula one car suspension, our Hyper Progressive sidecut allows for ultra fine adjustment at any speed and in any condition. An infinite number of different radius are blended together flawlessly from mellow in the tips, to more aggressive in the center. This sidecut mellows out the transitions leaving you with the most predictable, best all around riding board on the market.

Stance: 1" back

Core: WH4 Core. The WH4 core maximizes absolutely every element of our core. With a grater percentage of Honeykomb than the WH3 core, it is engineered to maintain durability at minimal weight.

Glass: NEW! ICG-20 top. Lighter, stronger, more responsive. We have integrated our carbon strips into the fiberglass reducing overall weight and creating a super smooth release of power. Increasing pop and liveliness, each level of ICG is distributed for the rider at hand and their performance needs.

Torsion Forks: NEW! Carbon Matrix II. Matrix I performance enhanced with additional carbon bracketing the center of the tip and tail = Unrivaled ollie performance, powerful pop and fine tuned edge control.

Base: 4000 sintered. 1. Fastest natural base material available.
2. Durable
3. Absorbs wax faster
4. Retains wax longer

Base Bevel: 1°

Rocker: Powder rocker, the acid rocker. Our Highest amount of Rocker enables the board to float effortlessly in anything over 4".
