K2 Mindbender 96 Men's Skis 26/27

K2 Mindbender 96 Men's Skis is a versatile freeride and all-mountain model designed for skiers who want a single pair of skis capable of delivering performance on a wide variety of terrain and conditions. With a stable construction, a 96 mm waist and an All-Terrain Rocker profile, the model combines precision on the slopes with the manoeuvrability and adaptability needed in variable snow and off-piste.
The Titanal I-Beam construction uses a central Titanal laminate to improve torsional stiffness, power transfer and stability. This structure allows the ski to maintain secure contact with the snow and provide good edge control, even through aggressive turns or at high speeds.
Dark Matter technology integrates TPU inserts loaded with stainless steel powder at carefully selected points in the core. These areas are optimised for each ski size and help reduce vibrations, providing more stable, controlled behaviour when the terrain becomes uneven or the snow becomes challenging.
Enhanced Stability Points reinforce high-stress areas for better torsional control and more precise edge grip. The result is predictable, stable behavior without unnecessary added stiffness or weight.
The Aspen Paulownia core combines the strength of aspen wood with the low weight of paulownia wood. This combination contributes to an energetic, balanced, easy-to-manoeuvre ski while retaining the stability needed for all-mountain use.
The All-Terrain Rocker profile combines gradual rocker at the tip with traditional camber underfoot. Rocker makes turn initiation easier and improves flotation in softer snow, while the camber section provides grip, precision and stability on harder surfaces.
Bio-Resin replaces conventional petroleum-based resin with an alternative made from renewable plant-based materials. It retains the strength, durability and flexibility required in ski construction, while also helping to reduce environmental impact.
