The seriously playful K2 Eighty Seven Snowboard embodies the heart and soul of K2′ s sideways thinking. Made with a snappy Bambooyah™ Blended Core that takes its cues from skateboard construction for an extra durable and poppy ride, the Eighty Seven is wide at the waist, with inlaid Carbon Torque Forks throughout for a smooth and snappy ride that’s fun as hell from top to bottom of the mountain. Best ridden a little shorter than your normal board length.
Rocker Type
Directional Camber Baseline™ – Camber between the feet and a slight rocker in the tip and tail give you all of the power and energy of a cambered snowboard, but with a little extra float on those deep days.
Flex
Flex Rating – 4 (1 Soft – 5 Stiff)
Shape
Tapered Directional
Volume Shift™ – Volume is moved from the tips and tails to underfoot for a wider, shorter design than traditional snowboard shapes, increasing mobility and maneuverability for better slashing and more lines through the trees.
Core
Bambooyah™ Core – Taking influence from skateboard manufacturing, K2 Bambooyah™ Blended cores are strong as hell and come packed with a complete 5-year warranty.
Laminates
Biaxial Glass – Smooth all-purpose performance with a no-frills design. Fibers are woven together at 0°. This makes for a more responsive ride longitudinally and torsionally.
ICG™ Carbon Glass – Integrating tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass lay-ups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity. K2 offers ICG™ glass in two variations; ICG™ 10 Biax Glass and ICG™ 20 Triax.
Carbon Torque Forks – K2 keeps their carbon simple by placing it from the binding to the contact points of the board for a more responsive and stable ride.
Base
Sintered 4000 – K2’s sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.
Binding Compatibility
2 x 4 Inserts
