K2 Mindbender 96C 2026

Looking for a ski that will go anywhere? The Mindbender 96C is a ski that will take you anywhere from hard packed snow to bumps to powder and everywhere in between. The Mindbenders lively and energetic carving experience comes from K2's Spectral Braid Technology. With a super stable yet playful feel, this ski will keep you feeling confident and having fun in any terrain. 

An extension of K2’s Torsion Control Design, 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. Lively, energetic, and remarkably composed; Mindbender skis with K2’s Spectral Braid have stability and control in spades while remaining hyper-maneuverable.

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.

Gradual rise in the tip with a short, low section in the tail for greater versatility in all conditions.

Lightweight and resilient, aspen is a great all-around core material.
