FEATURES
Built for those epic days everyone dreams of, the Mindbender 116C is purpose-engineered with patented Spectral Braid technology, and first-of-its-kind variable angle fiber reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex. Stiff enough for those deep landings, yet playful enough to remain energetic. Its Powder Rocker profile maximizes float in soft snow. This surprisingly sturdy ski lets you take on the burliest of lines and the reality of getting to the stash and back again.

TECHNOLOGY
PROFILE:
Powder Rocker
High and long rise in the tip, low camber underfoot, and a medium-height, long rise in the tail to maximize float in soft snow.

CORE:
Aspen Microblock
Many small stringers of Aspen give a consistent flex, smooth feel, and damp ride.

CONSTRUCTION:
Spectral Braid
An extension of K2’s Torsion Control Design, Spectral Braid is a first of its kind variable angle reinforcement 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 Spectral Braid have stability and control in spades while remaining hyper-maneuverable.

Uni Directional Flax
Flax improves a skis ability to track in variable terrain resulting in improved suspension and composure.

BIORESIN:
K2’s proprietary resin blend. BioResin was formulated with 30% bio-content and provides better cold temperature toughness and superior bond strength compared to our old, standard resin.
