Precision meets play in the K2 Mindbender 96, an all-mountain freeride ski built to arc clean turns on hardpack and navigate tight trees with effortless control. Engineered with Dark Matter damping technology to eliminate high-frequency chatter, this ski combines a Titanal I-Beam structure for rock-solid stability with an agile, lightweight Aspen-Paulownia wood core. Featuring K2's versatile All-Terrain Rocker profile, the Mindbender 96 offers instantaneous turn initiation and reliable edge hold, making it a powerful, highly adaptable choice for variable resort conditions.
Dark Matter Damping: High-tech polymer dampeners placed along the perimeter of the ski absorb high-frequency vibration, providing smooth edge contact and stability at high speeds.
Titanal I-Beam: A full-length central Titanal layer boosts torsional stiffness, power transmission, and edge grip throughout the entire length of the ski without adding unnecessary swing weight.
Aspen & Paulownia Core: Hybrid wood construction blending dense Aspen for power and spring with lightweight
Paulownia to keep overall swing weight low and responsiveness high.
All-Terrain Rocker: Elevated tips and tails improve float through soft snow and variable terrain, while underfoot camber keeps edge tracking precise on firm pack.
Powerwall Sidewalls: Oversized sidewalls laminated into the midbody core transfer energy directly to the ski edges for reliable power, grip, and stability.
Sintered Base: Premium, high-density base material engineered for maximum wax absorption, durability, and high-speed glide.
