K2 Mindbender 90 C 2022

Focusing on all-mountain versatility and firm snow performance, the K2 Mindbender 90 C follows suit of the Mindbender Ti collection, offering a similar performance just on a lighter, more forgiving platform. The Mindbender 90 C still features a rendition of K2's Torsion Control Design, but it uses carbon instead of a Titanal laminate to dictate the torsional flex in certain sections of the ski. In place of a metal laminate is K2's Spectral Braid Technology which is a Carbon fiber weave around the core featuring differing levels of tightness from tip to tail. A tighter weave in the tip and center of the ski provides more torsional stiffness in those segments of the ski for added power, precision and stability overall, while a looser weave in the tail allows for less torsional stiffness by design to allow the ski to release and pivot when needed. In addition to the Spectral Braid is Carbon Boost. This design feature incorporates Carbon stringers that run tip to tail to add snap and rebound to the ski. These design features culminate to a very light, snappy and energetic ski that provides great stability on firm snow and a lot of maneuverability making more technical terrain a bit less cumbersome to navigate. A 90-millimeter waist keeps the ski fairly quick edge to edge when carving on groomers but provides you with the necessary comfort to take the ski wherever you want on the mountain, on and off the piste. A fairly standard rocker-camber-rocker profile adds some nice forgiveness and versatility to the ski. Afterall, not everyone wants to put in tremendous effort to get a ski to do what they want. In comparison to the Mindbender 90 Ti, the 90 C is better suited to someone with a more playful ski style or someone who might prefer quicker turns in comparison to longer, high-speed arcs, but that's not to say this ski can't perform well in those higher speed scenarios. Advanced to expert skiers looking for a fun, lightweight, and snappy all mountain ski will love the performance of the K2 Mindbender 90 C.
