K2 Mindbender 116C 2021
The 2021 K2 Mindbender 116C is a high-performance powder ski designed to charge big mountain lines while maintaining nimble control on varied terrain.
Featuring a Maple and Paulownia Double Barrel core, the Mindbender 116C balances lightweight responsiveness with durability. It integrates K2’s Spectral Braid, a variable-angle fiber reinforcement that offers tuned torsional stiffness and flex for stability and agility. The ski’s Powder Rocker profile—rockered tip and tail with camber underfoot—delivers excellent flotation in deep snow and solid edge hold on harder snow. With dimensions of 143-116-133 mm and a turning radius of 22.9 m at 186 cm, this ski is built for advanced riders seeking powerful, stable performance in the deepest conditions without feeling bogged down on firm snow.
