K2 Men's Mindbender 96C Skis 2026
The K2 Mindbender 96 C Skis offer the Mindbender performance mindset in a lighter, more versatile package made possible by Spectral Braiding technology and the use of Uni-Directional Flax as a damping agent rather than Titanal. A more approachable alternative to the hard charging 99 Ti, the Mindbender 96 C appeals to a vast range of skill sets and snow conditions.
Product Details
Rocker Type
All-Terrain Rocker – Skis with All-Terrain rocker have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control variable snow
FlexFlex: 6 – (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
Hybritech Sidewall – A blend of cap and sidewall construction delivers the ultimate combination of precise edgehold and smooth turn initiation.
Base
Sintered Base
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
