2011 k2 Brigade Snowboard Review

By Published On: November 20th, 20100 Comments

Hey, I’m Bryan with K2, and we’re taking a look at the Brigade Snowboard. The K2 Brigade Snowboard is one of our rookie to intermediate level snowboards. It’s actually a true twin shape, but the stance is shifted back for somebody that’s doing a little bit more free riding. It also offers our catch-free rocker, so it’s totally flat underneath the foot, giving you a lot of stability, a lot of good hard snow performance, and just a little bit of rocker right at the tip, in the tail, to help that person that’s newer to the sport maneuver that snowboard around a little bit easier. That’s the Brigade Snowboard.

The  K2 Brigade Snowboard. This is going to be the board that’s going to make you fall in love with snowboarding for the rest of your life. Awesome board, great flex, cool graphic. It has a Catch Free Baseline technology, which means it’s 95% flat from pretty much the nose to the tail, and 5% rocker on the nose and the tail. It has the Hybritech technology in construction, which means that it gradually tapers out, so it goes from a normal sidewall and gradually caps out on along the nose and the tail. K2 is pretty much the only board that has this thing patented – you can’t do it unless you’re K2 Snowboards. It has a twin hyper progressive side cut radius. So if you’re going fast down the hill, whether it be steep groomers or moguls, this thing’s going to hold an edge. And whether it be you were just floating around on the bottom of the hill, hitting stairs, jumping picnic tables and stuff, this thing’s going to be a lot of fun. Its stance is set back 3/4 of an inch, even though it is a twin shaped board. Its core is what’s called a W1 core. So the core pretty much tip to tail – one piece of wood, reduces a lot of weight, doesn’t add anything else. All you need is one, really. It has a 2,000 extruded base. That means you don’t have to upkeep this thing too often. You don’t have to wax this thing too often. It’s going to be nice, it’s going to be fast, it’s going to be definitely durable. And one of my favorite things about it, it has a 3 degree side bevel, or excuse me, base bevel on its edge. So if you’re just sliding around, because it’s a flat, pretty much a flat board, you’re not going to catch up a lot. Again, this is the K2 Brigade Snowboard. Cool board, cool graphic. Fall in love with snowboarding with this deck right here.
