Advantages: Great design and build quality damping! Disadvantages: non that l have found yet!
...Currently l am working with K2 on my uni dissertaion investigatingthe damping of snowboards and they kindly gave me one of these babies to test.
Firstly l can say the from my testing there is definately evidence to back up the damping claims this is in the higher frequecny ranges which are to do with muscle fatigue, there is a really nice feel about the baord when you are riding it there is a nice degree of side-cut and this make it prefect for carving down the mountin.
there are risers on the top to enable riders with large feet to use a narrower board and aviod heel or toe drag on the surface oft he snow.
due tot he size of the board l found it very stable at pace and not at all twitchy....

Advantages: if your lost in the woods you can hold em up to light your way out Disadvantages: they are yellow, they aren't compatible with any parts from other manufacturers
...errrrrrrrrr, K2 250cc are horrible, for a start they are yellow. Whats that about? The soul space is tiny and they are mad fast on royales. Thats ok if your good at skating but if you've just started then you don't want to be falling on your head every time you try and learn one of the most basic tricks in the sport. I do not think you could possibly call these skates comfortable. Razors are comfortable, thrones are comfortable, these are like special shoes, urgh just disgusting. Then theres the softboot aspect, what is the point of making aggresive skates out of flimsy cloth. Every pair of these skates I see have big holes in the side and it just doesn't look good. Get some proper hard boot skates because you don't see them with big holes in the side do you?
And then you've got the wheels, K2 own brand because no real wheel...

Advantages: Very strong, light, comfortable and parts are easily replaced Disadvantages: anti bacterial footbed could be improved and wheels should be of a better standard
...Well, since i got these skates in January, I have improved no end. I did have a pair of Oxygens and since trying the K2's I have realised how good they really are, although the soul space is not as wide as some of my friends skates i.e Salomons the lock on is excellent and grinding is super smooth. The skates feel very stable and strong yet relatively light. They are very comfortable due to the 'soft boot' technology and upgrades are relatively cheap. These skates can live indefinately with all parts being replaceable.
The downside is that for a pro - skate I would have expected more from the wheels, as I would have preferred better ones for example 'Senate' also the anti - bacterial footbed is not particularly effective after several months of use (but that might just be my feet!)
Overall these skates are well worth buying...
