THE MINDBENDER 116C
The powder ski that can charge it all
The Mindbender 116C is a powder ski built for those epic days everyone dreams of. Featuring K2’s patented Spectral Braid technology, a first-of-its-kind variable-angle fiber reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex, the 116C is both energetic and composed. Its Powder Rocker profile maximizes float in soft snow. This surprisingly sturdy ski lets you take on the burliest of lines and the reality of getting to the stash and back again.
Details
Rocker Type: Powder Rocker – Powder Rocker is designed for unmatched flotation in deep snow. This tip has the most elevation and longest rocker and offers skiers a surfy feel with enhanced soft-snow performance. The camber still exists to ensure edgehold in firmer conditions.
Flex: 8 – (1 = Playful, 10 = Precise)
Core: Aspen Micro Block Core – Many small stringers of Aspen give a consistent flex, smooth feel, and damp ride.
Laminates: Bio Resin – Increases bonding with the core, adds cold temperature strength, and is more sustainable than traditional resins.
Spectral Braid – K2’s Patented Spectral Braid is a first of its kind variable angle reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the ski. This makes the ski feel lively, energetic, and remarkably composed.
Uni-Directional Flax – Flax is a lightweight and sustainable natural fiber reinforcement fabric that improves a skis ability to track in variable terrain resulting in improved suspension and composure.
Sidewalls: Twin Tech Sidewalls – Full length sidewall construction for durability and energy transfer.
Base: Sintered Base
