Stay composed in any terrain you can find up on the mountain with the latest K2 Mindbender 96 C W. Following in the footsteps laid down by the Ti range, these incorporate carbon in the construction instead of titanal for a lighter more manageable ride anyone from beginners to experts can get behind. K2’s Spectral Braid technology coupled with a Uni-Directional Flax layup provides the stability and dampness needed for the more demanding terrain, all whilst keeping them lively and fun everywhere else. An all-terrain rocker profile allows for a dynamic approach on and off-piste, while 96mm underfoot hits the sweet spot for all-mountain versatility in NZ conditions. Keeping sustainability in mind, K2’s signature Bio-Resin helps reduce the carbon footprint without sacrificing in other areas. For the adventurous skier the Mindbender 96 C W is a ski that brings you consistently impressive performance in a variety of conditions while packing a hidden punch for the best days of the year!

Spectral Braid
Another implementation of K2’s Torsion Control Design, patented Spectral Braid is a first-of-its-kind variable- angle fibre reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex by altering the fibre orientation along the length of the ski. Lively, energetic, and composed, skis with K2’s Spectral Braid have stability and control in spades while remaining extremely manoeuvrable.

Aspen Micro Block Core
Lightweight and resilient, this makes for a great all rounder for core material. Many small stringers of Aspen give a consistent flex, smooth feel, and damp ride.

All-Terrain Rocker
Gradual rise in the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a low, short rise in the tail for added control in variable snow.

Bio Resin
Resin is the single largest contributor to a skis carbon footprint approx. 25%. K2 have managed to reduce the footprint by 30% with their new Bio Resin while also retaining strong bonding properties that can withstand the colder temperatures.

Uni-Directional Flax
Flax is a lightweight and sustainable natural fiber reinforcement fabric that improves a skis ability to track in variable terrain resulting in improved suspension and composure.
