K2 Mindbender 116C 21/22 Freeski

K2 uses a variety of wood species in our cores to fine-tune the performance characteristics of each ski.

Maple is a dense hardwood with excellent power transfer and stability.

Paulownia is a lively, flexible wood with excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

Another implementation of K2’s Torsion Control Design, patent-pending Spectral Braid is a firstof-its-kind variable-angle fiber reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the ski. Lively, energetic, and composed, skis with K2’s Spectral Braid have stability and control in spades while remaining extremely maneuverable.

Longitudinal carbon stringers laid on top of the core for added pop and rebound.

Adding a 30-degree angle to the sidewall in K2’s Hybritech construction, Slantwall increases a ski’s agility and responsiveness while maintaining accuracy and power.

High and long rise in the tip, low camber underfoot, and a medium-height, long rise in the tail to maximize float in soft snow.

Once thought of as a powder-specific feature, K2 pioneered the use of rocker on all-mountain and piste skis, with the rest of the ski industry following in their footsteps. Today, almost all of the K2 skis are built with rocker, with the height and length optimized on each model for maximum performance and enjoyment.
