K2 Men’s Gateway Pop Snowboard 2024-2025

Description

The K2 Gateway Pop marries a classic directional twin shape and a progressive Carbon Camber Profile, creating the ultimate for-everyone board that’s perfect for ripping down an open powder field, perfectly spaced tree runs or your favorite line in the park.

K2 repurposed the design of their top-selling Gateway board and added camber in between the inserts for extra pop on takeoffs, and tons of stability while carving at high speeds, giving it a confidence-boosting, tried-and-true feeling. Its aspen core provides a snappy and playful feel with a mid-flex for quick edge changes through sketchy terrain and pressing on boxes and butters.

K2 used their  ICG™ 10 Biax Fiberglass with tip-to-tail carbon stringers for edge hold through choppy terrain. They’ve added an Extruded 2000 base to provide a smooth and durable feel that’ll have you leading your crew to the next secret stash.

The all-mountain Gateway POP packs premium tech into an affordable package for leveling up your skillset on any terrain the resort has to offer.

Technology
Extruded 2000 Base: Their low-maintenance Extruded 2000 base delivers a consistent glide and is easy to both maintain and repair.
Aspen Core: A single species of wood ensures consistency – giving riders the advantage of a proven flex, durability, and snap.
ICG™ 10 Biax Carbon Glass: Integrating Carbon Fiber stringers that run the length of the board into their fiberglass increases the snap of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.
Hybridtech™ Construction: Backed by years of rigorous testing, Hybritech™ is the lightest weight, most durable snowboard construction on the market. Removing all excess sidewall material in the tip and tail and adding a 3D capped edge to increase the bond strength of the fiberglass and decrease the swing weight of the board is what makes Hybritech so revolutionary. Their boards will spin faster, maneuver easier, and last longer than any other boards on the market.
