I wonder what is going to develop with the board Torstein Horgmo has been working on with Capita. He put something up on his youtube channel over a year ago talking about it. "Semi directional all mountain ripper", slight taper, cambered. Could be cool.

I don't think it'll be ready for next season. Basing that off it not being mentioned at the tradeshow I got to attend. Doesn't mean it won't pop up, but there was no physical board to snap a photo of or hear about.

Evo has a couple of 2026 K2 boards on their site - Excavator, Passport, and a new model - the Commonwealth. It has the carbon braiding like the Alchemist, but has a softer flex rating. Hard to say how this fits in with their other boards considering that they have several mid-stiff directional all-mountain/freeride boards.

Looks like the specs might be a bit shifted, I doubt the 157 has a thicker waist than the 160. Has the Passport/Berserker sidecut with quick entry and exit parabolas. I bet Avran will gush over this one considering his fervor for the Manifest Team, Instrument and Passport in recent years.
 
I like how the dials have a wood paneling effect - which is very much Arbor's brand. It would be super cool if that wood paneling was actually the wood underneath the graphics. I have a feeling it will just be an image, like in the current Nitro Squash.

Sorta/kinda replacement to the broadcast? Says I, not having compared the specs...
 
For some reason and without having any stats, this gives me big Alternator vibes... looks like a slightly directional freestyle board. I think the graphics' theme is sending me in that direction too.
He was on Nitro before right? So yeah, probably the Arbor Nitro Alternator/Capita Aeronaut.

Purely from the shape it looks more like a fancier Passport. Sage has talked a couple times on the Bombhole about a board he has been working on with JStone, accessible high end freeride from how he's talked about it. So similar build style and construction as the Alchemist with a more Passporty flex would be my guess. Which seems like a ton of overlap in their line. Nor was the Alchemist that stiff anyway. Seems to me like they should have just tweaked the Instrument and positioned it against the Alternator/Aeronaut rather than adding a board in the very small space between the Passport and Alchemist.

It’s like the Alternator with some slight changes. Side cut is tighter at the ends of the side cut and construction is slightly more burly on one of the two proto’s and hoping it makes it to production.
