“A bit like the grab, the Indy isn’t the most technical or stylish one out there but it’s a great starting point with enough ways to make it your own.

It’s a pretty clean and simple look from K2, but the components are still well made and functional. The asymmetric highback was the highlight for me. There’s more empty space than there is material, but it still offered some response from edge to edge – ideal for someone who’s just getting started out with their snowboarding and won’t want anything too demanding. There was so much lateral flex in them too that rail and park riders on a budget might also find something to their liking here.

“The 3° of canting in the footbeds was definitely noticeable. I rode these towards the end of the day and they helped with tired legs. For beginner riders, struggling to effectively pressure the whole edge and who want to feel confident engaging a new turn, this will massively help bring your progression along”

As you’d expect, the straps were simple and comfortable enough while not offering anything out of the ordinary for this kind of price. Tool-free adjustment is a bonus, for sure, but the toe straps didn’t leave me with a huge amount of trust in their strength or grip.
