TECHNOLOGY
PROFILE:
All-Terrain Rocker
Gradual rise in the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a low, short rise in the tail for added control in variable 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.
