The K2 Mindbender 96C is your go-to for any adventure the mountain throws your way. With responsive Spectral Braid, smooth-tracking Uni-Directional Flax, and an All-Terrain Rocker that ensures versatility across snow types, this ski is built for the skier who wants one pair that does it all. The 96C offers a balanced flex that’s both playful and precise, giving you the confidence to carve with power or glide with ease. Whether exploring fresh powder or cruising down hardpack, the Mindbender 96C is ready for every twist, turn, and challenge.

• Spectral Braid Technology for Precision Control: The 96C’s Spectral Braid is a revolutionary, variable-angle reinforcement that adjusts torsion and flex along the ski’s length. This unique construction allows the skis to be incredibly stable and agile at the same time, giving you full control while remaining hyper-responsive. With Spectral Braid, expect a smooth yet powerful ride that’s ready for sharp, energetic carves and confident maneuvering through tricky terrain.

• Uni-Directional Flax for Smooth Tracking: Reinforced with Uni-Directional Flax—a sustainable, lightweight natural fiber—the Mindbender 96C excels in maintaining composure across variable snow. The flax reinforcement acts like a suspension system, helping the skis track cleanly through chopped and inconsistent snow. This added composure and balance make the 96C exceptionally reliable and comfortable for all-day skiing, whether in freshly laid tracks or mixed conditions.

• All-Terrain Rocker Profile for Ultimate Versatility: The All-Terrain Rocker combines a gradual rise in the tip with a shorter, low-rise tail, optimizing performance in both soft snow and hardpack. This profile keeps the skis nimble and light while still delivering control on firm surfaces, giving you adaptable, easy handling for everything from morning groomers to afternoon moguls. It’s the ideal rocker profile for skiers who want a true all-mountain experience.

• Aspen Veneer Core for Lightweight Durability: At the heart of the Mindbender 96C lies an Aspen Veneer Core, providing a lightweight, resilient foundation that balances strength with flexibility. Aspen’s reliable performance and durability make it the perfect choice for an all-around ski, offering the pop and playfulness to tackle varied terrain without sacrificing stability.
