Achieve all-mountain mastery with the K2 Mindbender 96C W—a high-performance, versatile ski designed for skiers seeking an adaptable, confidence-inspiring ride on any terrain. With a slightly more approachable construction than the 99Ti W, this ski strikes a perfect balance between agility and stability, making it an ideal companion for everything from hard-packed groomers to playful powder. Equipped with Spectral Braid Technology and Uni-Directional Flax, the Mindbender 96C W is built to thrive in variable conditions, empowering you to ski with poise and precision from first chair to last.

• All-Terrain Rocker for Adaptability: The All-Terrain Rocker profile combines a gradual rise at the tip with a lower, shorter tail rocker, giving you versatile control across all snow types. Whether you’re gliding down powder, charging through mixed terrain, or carving on hardpack, the rocker profile of the Mindbender 96C W ensures a smooth and responsive feel with every turn.

• Spectral Braid Technology for Tuned Stability: Unique to K2, Spectral Braid Technology enhances torsional stability while maintaining flexibility. By altering the fiber orientation along the ski’s length, this technology offers precision-tuned torsion and flex, giving the Mindbender 96C W remarkable stability and control without compromising maneuverability. This intuitive design allows for confident edge grip and responsive handling, making it easy to navigate through everything from groomers to choppy snow.

• Uni-Directional Flax for Sustainable Suspension: Uni-Directional Flax fibers, a lightweight and sustainable material, add further composure to the ski, helping it track steadily through varied terrain. Flax’s natural shock absorption enhances the ski’s ability to handle mixed conditions, providing a smooth, dampened feel that boosts confidence and reduces fatigue over a full day on the mountain.

• Aspen Veneer Core for Lightweight Strength: The Aspen Veneer Core is the ideal balance of lightweight construction and resilient strength. Known for its durability and lively responsiveness, aspen wood provides a solid foundation that enables the ski to flex and adapt to terrain changes, while also keeping weight manageable for all-day performance.
