{"product_id":"k2-mindbender-88-26-27","title":"Mindbender 88 Men's 26\/27","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe K2 Mindbender 88 is the frontside member of the redesigned Mindbender family, an 88 mm class carver built for hard snow and fresh corduroy. It runs K2's All Terrain Rocker, with mild camber underfoot, pronounced tip rocker and a touch of tail rocker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder the topsheet is an Aspen core for structure with Paulownia added to keep weight down, a Titanal I-Beam that covers about two thirds of the ski's width between the contact points, and Dark Matter Tech weighting in the forebody and mid-tail to calm vibration. K2 bonds it all with a bio resin that improves core bonding and cold-weather strength, and finishes it with a sintered base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is the one every narrow, metal-laced ski makes. It is happiest on firm snow and groomers, and it will feel more planted than playful once the snow gets deep. If most of your days are on the trail map rather than off it, that is exactly what you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits intermediate to advanced skiers who want a confident, friendly carver with real edge hold. Most skiers size it around chin to nose height, longer for strong skiers who like speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor crisp mornings on freshly groomed trails, the Mindbender 88 is a blast to lay over on edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"mo-specs\" style=\"margin-top:32px\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em\"\u003eTech Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv
