evo.com | K2 Skis > The most easy-going model in K2's long Mindbender menu, the K2 Mindbender 85 Skis are light and confidence-inspiring, and a great way to transition from narrow, flat-tailed rental or beginner models. With the Aspen Micro Block core used in all the Mindbenders but without the metal laminate, the 85 features predictable but forgiving performance and easy direction changes. Sintered Base We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Triaxial Braid A K2-patented machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled core for pronounced torsional strength, while retaining the lively flex patterns inherent in a wood ski. All-Terrain Rocker Skis with All-Terrain rocker have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control variable snow. Aspen Micro Block Core Many small stringers of Aspen give a consistent flex, smooth feel, and damp ride. Emulating the distinct design of the hybrid Shift bindings but with a new, lower and lighter LDN alpine toe, the Salomon Strive 12 GW Ski Bindings drop weight and get you closer to the snow for better snow feel, power transmission, and response. Compatible with both Alpine ISO 5355 and GripWalk ISO 23223 soles, the new Strive 12 GW sets the standard for lightweight precision. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. LDN Toe (Low, Direct, Neutral) Low center of gravity places the binding closer to the ski for better response and snow feel. 3 Part Heel Light Low profile design with lighter construction Low Profile Chassis A low stand height improves your feel for the terrain and enhances power transmission to the ski. Automatic Wing Adjustment Adapts automatically and easily to your boot width and height. It also keeps release values constant for worn out boots. | K2 Mindbender 85 Skis 2026 - 156 Package (156 cm) + 90 Adult Alpine Bindings in Gold Size 156/90
