Precision meets play in the K2 Mindbender 96, an all-mountain freeride ski built to arc clean turns on hardpack and navigate tight trees with effortless control. Engineered with Dark Matter damping technology to eliminate high-frequency chatter, this ski combines a Titanal I-Beam structure for rock-solid stability with an agile, lightweight Aspen-Paulownia wood core. Featuring K2&';s versatile All-Terrain Rocker profile, the Mindbender 96 offers instantaneous turn initiation and reliable edge hold, making it a powerful, highly adaptable choice for variable resort conditions. Product Specifications Dimensions: 135 - 96 - 123 mm Rocker Profile: All-Terrain Rocker (Rocker / Camber / Rocker) Turn Radius: 20.0 m 183 cm Core Material: Aspen / Paulownia Wood Core Weight: 1,900 g per ski 183 cm Terrain: All-Mountain, Freeride Ability Level: Advanced to Expert Dark Matter Damping: High-tech polymer dampeners placed along the perimeter of the ski absorb high-frequency vibration, providing smooth edge contact and stability at high speeds. Titanal I-Beam: A full-length central Titanal layer boosts torsional stiffness, power transmission, and edge grip throughout the entire length of the ski without adding unnecessary swing weight. Aspen & Paulownia Core: Hybrid wood construction blending dense Aspen for power and spring with lightweight Paulownia to keep overall swing weight low and responsiveness high. All-Terrain Rocker: Elevated tips and tails improve float through soft snow and variable terrain, while underfoot camber keeps edge tracking precise on firm pack. Powerwall Sidewalls: Oversized sidewalls laminated into the midbody core transfer energy directly to the ski edges for reliable power, grip, and stability. Sintered Base: Premium, high-density base material engineered for maximum wax absorption, durability, and high-speed glide.
