K2 Mindbender 96 Skis 2027

The K2 Mindbender 96 Skis 2027 are versatile all-gender freeride skis that combine a 96 mm waist, Dark Matter Technology, and Titanal reinforcement for confident performance from hardpack turns to technical tree lines.

Precision Meets Play

• 96 mm Waist: The 135-96-123 mm shape creates a versatile freeride platform that's quick enough for firm snow while offering the width and maneuverability needed for variable terrain.
• All Terrain Rocker: A high, long-rise tip and medium, long-rise tail surround camber underfoot, balancing maneuverability with dependable edge engagement.
• Dark Matter Technology: K2's targeted mass damping uses weighted TPU inserts integrated into the core and over the edges at Enhanced Stability Points to reduce chatter and improve control.
• Enhanced Stability Points: Strategically positioned damping zones are tuned to the ski to improve composure and performance.
• Titanal I-Beam: Titanal reinforcement gives the Mindbender 96 additional backbone and stability for confident skiing through demanding terrain.
• Aspen Paulownia Core: The blended wood core combines the energetic characteristics of Aspen and lightweight strength of Paulownia.
• Sintered Base: Durable sintered base construction delivers dependable glide for regular all-mountain and freeride use.

From Hardpack to Trees

K2 describes the Mindbender 96 as a ski that arcs clean turns on hardpack and dives confidently into the trees. Its 96 mm waist makes it an especially versatile option for skiers who want freeride capability without moving to a wider powder-focused platform. Dark Matter Technology helps calm the ride while the Titanal I-Beam supplies the backbone needed when speeds increase.
