SKI K2 Mindbender 116C

You've seen 'em here, there and everywhere. The K2 Mindbender 116c is the powder ski meant to charge it all and come back swinging. Strung up with Carbon Spectral Braid, this surprisingly lightweight deep powder ski can run with the best of 'em. We've put in the work to produce the ultimate big-mountain powder ski that won't bog down on the harder stuff.

This ski does not come with bindings. We recommend a pair of bindings with a brake from 5 up to 10 mm wider than this ski. Please feel free to contact our customer service if you have a question about binding compatibility. If you buy skis and bindings together we can mount them for you free of charge.

DETAILS
Gender : Men's
Type:  Powder-Big Mountain
Riding Style: Freeride
Ski Terrain : Big Mountain - Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing big mountains spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail.
Powder - These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.
Ability Level:  Advance - Expert
Rocker Type:     Rocker - Powder Rocker 

Construction:  Torsion Control Design - Designed to enhance stability and control in all snow types, TORSION CONTROL DESIGN combines a progressive torsional flex, with a balanced and even longitudinal profile. Torsionally stiffest in the forebody and center of the ski, then easing throughout the tail, K2 skis with TCD have both precise, accurate turn initiation and smooth, consistent turn release in all snow types
SlantWall - Adding a 30° angle to the sidewall in K2’s Hybritech construction, SlantWall increases a ski's agility and responsiveness while maintaining accuracy and power.
Core Material:    Wood Maple and Paulownia
Paulownia Core - Lively, flexible wood with excellent weight to strength ratio.
Maple Core - Energetic, tough, dense wood that absorbs impact.
Laminates : Carbon Spectral Braid - An extension of K2’s Torsion Control Design, Carbon Spectral Braid is a first of its kind variable angle reinforcement (Patent Pending) that allows for precision tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the ski. Lively, energetic, and remarkably composed; Mindbender skis with K2’s Carbon Spectral Braid have stability and control in spades while remaining hyper-maneuverable.

Shape : Directional -  Freeriders, ski-tourers and carvers love this shape for power and more stability.
Tip Width mm: 143
Waist Width mm : 116
