SKI K2 Mindbender 98 Ti Alliance Women

Every day. We’re not joking. Every. Dang. Day. That’s when you’ll want to ride the all-new Mindbender 98ti Alliance. Damp in chop but energized at the top of the turn, the Mindbender 98ti will change your opinion of sub-100 freeride skis. Take it in the pow, put it in the slush – whatever, whenever. The 98ti Alliance is the only ski you need. Full Stop. The K2 Mindbender 98Ti Alliance Skis straddle the line between off-piste charger and on-piste carver like few skis can in the ~100mm waist category. With a few inches of snow on the ground, the Mindbender 98ti planes and breaks loose for a super fun and playful ride, and just as quickly can set an edge for a perfectly railed turn back on piste. Quick yet powerful, the K2 Mindbender 98Ti Alliance Skis is as close as you'll get to the proverbial one ski quiver

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 : Women's
Type:  Freeride - All mountain - Powder
Riding Style: Freeride
Ski Terrain : All-mountain - All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.- All mountain
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 -All Terrain Rocker  - Designed for all ability levels, All-Terrain Rocker adds versatility and ease in all snow conditions. This profile features an elevated tip and tail for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edgehold in firmer conditions.

Flex : Correct Flex – Eliminates the overly stiff, mid-section typically found on shorter length skis, leaving a smooth and consistent flex profile optimized on every size from longest to shortest.
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
PowerWall - Power transfer is dramatically enhanced with the oversized ABS sidewalls that are laminated and pocketed within the wood core in the midbody of the ski. With the sidewall extending into the heart of the ski, the transmission of energy from skier to ski edge is direct and precise.

Core Material:    Wood  Aspen veneer
Aspen Core - Lightweight and resilient, great all-around material.
Laminates : Titanal Y-Beam - K2’s Ti Y-Beam delivers precision in the forebody of the ski, power underfoot and stability in the tail, all while maintaining the maneuverability and drift control needed for freeride ripping. Precision cut titanal in a ‘Y’ shape alters the torsional stiffness of the ski while maintaining a balanced, even flex pattern that delivers power in a controlled manner throughout the length of the ski.

Shape : Directional -  Freeriders, ski-tourers and carvers love this shape for power and more stability.
