Now accepting bets on how many types of terrain the The K2 Mindbender 96 C W Skis are good for. Our guess? All of them. Featuring an all new spectral braid carbon and flax layup for lightweight strength and stability, these all mountain performers are fun, easy to maneuver, and most importantly: adaptable.
These skis feature K2's innovative Spectral Braid technology, which utilizes variable-angle fiber reinforcement for precise torsion and flex control. This results in a ski that's not only lively but also provides energetic power transfer.
With the addition of Uni-Directional Flax, the 96C W boasts exceptional tracking capabilities in various terrains, ensuring you stay composed and confident even when tackling choppy and uneven conditions.
Compared to the 99Ti W, the Mindbender 96C W offers a slightly more approachable construction and waist width, making it the ideal choice for stability and dynamism. From your first chair to your last run, these skis are designed to keep you shredding with confidence.
Rocker Type: These skis feature an All-Terrain Rocker, which means they have a gently raised tip that provides excellent versatility in various snow conditions. They also have a shorter, lower rise in the tail for enhanced control, especially in variable snow conditions.
Core: The core of these skis is constructed using Aspen Veneer, which offers a combination of lightweight properties and resilience. This makes it an ideal core material for all-around skiing performance.
Laminates: These skis utilize a technology called Spectral Braid, which is a unique and patented feature by K2. Spectral Braid involves variable angle reinforcement, allowing for precise adjustments to the ski's torsion (twisting) and flex characteristics by altering the orientation of the ski's fibers along its length. This results in a ski that feels lively, energetic, and exceptionally composed on the slopes.
Additionally, they feature Uni Directional Flax and are made with Bio Resin, which suggests a commitment to more sustainable and eco-friendly materials in the manufacturing process.
Binding Compatibility: For the bindings, it's recommended to choose a brake width that matches the ski waist width or is at most 15 mm wider. This ensures a proper fit and compatibility between the skis and bindings, promoting optimal performance and safety.
