The K2 Mindbender 111 is the widest ski in the new Mindbender range, designed for skiers looking for maximum flotation, stability and performance in deep snow and big terrain. It is a true freeride ski that can confidently handle everything from deep snow and powder to variable terrain and demanding conditions. The Dark Matter technology helps dampen vibrations and maintain stability at high speeds, while the Titanal I-Beam construction provides strength, torsional stiffness and direct energy transfer without unnecessary swing weight. The Aspen-Paulownia core combines stability, low weight and a lively feel, while the All-Terrain Rocker provides versatility, easy flotation and improved handling in deep and variable snow. With a 111 mm waist, the Mindbender 111 is designed for big open lines, powder and freeride terrain, while remaining playful and agile when the line becomes more technical.
This ski does not include bindings. The model is supplied as Flat, without bindings. If you purchase skis and bindings together, we can mount them for you free of charge.

Binding Information
Bindings not included : The ski is supplied without bindings (Flat). Bindings should be selected and adjusted according to the skier's weight, height, ability level and other equipment. If you purchase skis and bindings together, we can mount them for you free of charge.
All-Terrain RockerThe All-Terrain Rocker combines rocker in the tip and tail with traditional camber underfoot, providing
versatility across different snow conditions and terrain. The rocker improves flotation and makes turn initiation and
direction changes easier, while the camber underfoot provides edge grip, stability and predictable handling
when the ski is on firmer or variable snow.
Aspen PaulowniaThe Aspen Paulownia Core combines durable Aspen with lightweight and energetic Paulownia, reducing overall weight
without sacrificing durability. Aspen provides stability and dynamic rebound, while Paulownia contributes to reduced weight
and improved efficiency and agility. The result is a balanced core with low swing weight, a lively feel and the necessary
support for freeride skiing in deep and variable terrain.
Dark Matter TechnologyThe Dark Matter Technology uses strategically positioned TPU and stainless-steel inserts integrated
into the ski core at selected points. The strategic placement of mass helps dampen vibrations and reduce
chatter while maintaining a more lively and agile ski. On the Mindbender 111, this technology contributes to stability
at high speeds and helps maintain control in deep and variable terrain.
Titanal I-BeamThe Titanal I-Beam reinforces the ski with central Titanal laminates designed to maximize strength and precision,
without adding unnecessary weight across the entire width of the ski. This construction increases torsional stiffness and
energy transfer while maintaining a smooth and controlled flex. The result is increased edge grip,
stability and control, particularly at high speeds, during dynamic turns and in demanding freeride terrain.
BioResinThe Bio-Resin replaces traditional petroleum-based resins with renewable plant-based materials, reducing the
environmental footprint without compromising performance. It maintains strength, durability and flex stability,
while supporting reliable energy transfer, strong bonding between the individual materials and long-term structural durability.
Enhanced Stability PointsThe Enhanced Stability Points reinforce critical areas of the ski, improving edge grip and torsional
stiffness control. The technology helps the Mindbender 111 maintain a stable trajectory at high speeds and across variable terrain,
providing a stable and predictable feel without unnecessary increases in weight or stiffness.
New K2 Mindbender CollectionA project built with genuine passion, the Mindbender collection was designed for all freeriders. Whether you are looking for big mountain equipment, a powerful and stable ski for the entire mountain or a fast and precise ski for the piste, the Mindbender collection has what you are looking for. The Mindbender ski range has been developed through hundreds of hours of design, testing and refinement. The all-new Mindbender skis are designed to take you wherever you want to ski, with the new Dark Matter technology at the forefront. Take them onto an open slope and they maintain a stable line even at high speeds. Take them through dense trees and demanding technical terrain and they remain fast, agile and lively underfoot. Even when conditions change, from soft and deep snow on the first run of the day to harder and more worked-over snow in the early afternoon, Mindbender skis maintain their composure and stability without forcing you to change the way you ski.
