Product Details

Ski ability: The ultimate all mountain / freestyle ski.

A ski for fun, anywhere on the mountain this all mountain / freestyle ski will suit adventurous and active advanced to expert skiers.

Mindbender 89TI (with Marker Griffon 13 TCX D bindings) from K2.

When powder snow is in short supply, turn to the K2 Mindbender 89Ti men’s freeride ski. Although it's built with the same Titanal Y-Beam construction and All-Terrain Rocker profile as its other metal-reinforced Mindbender siblings, the 89Ti stands apart thanks to a narrower waist width. Its All-Terrain Rocker profile knows no bounds and keeps you nimble enough to navigate bumps, trees, and the occasional chop. The result is a ski that has the precise edge hold you need to dominate the hardpack but is still wide enough for forays into the ungroomed. Original graphics by artist Sam Friedman through his collaboration with K2 on their Mindbender series of skis.

Constructions:

• Aspen Core (Provides strength and durability while keeping the ski lightweight with an energetic rebound).
• Titanial Y-Beam (Titanal has long been used in high-end skis and is known for providing a damp, stable ride at high speeds and on variable terrain. K2's Y-Beam technology also adds dramatically enhanced performance tuning. Y-shaped prongs set over the edges in the shovel of the ski provide precise, powerful turn initiation, while the narrower metal shape in the tail of the ski provides the support you need for charging while still remaining maneuverable, forgiving, and easy to break free from turns)
• All Terrain Rocker (The All-Terrain Rocker features an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edge-hold in firmer conditions. Simply put, All-Terrain Rocker offers versatility and ease in all snow conditions.)
• Tail protection
