The K2 Mindbender 106C Skis have achieved a rare feat by emerging new for the men’s line as a copycat from the women’s. In doing so, the Mindbender 106C is able to achieve the same playful performance as its sister but with a sleeker new finish strategically tailored to the boys. Aside from its graphic, the Mindbender 106C’s entire construction remains unchanged and continues to enlist the expertise of K2’s Carbon Spectral Braid to achieve its signature smoothness in a versatile frame. With tighter cross-hatching in the shovel and looser weaving in the rear, this unique braiding technology delivers a feel similar to that of K2’s Titanal Y-Beam but at a fraction of the weight. As a result, the Mindbender 106C becomes one of the most weight-conscious rippers in the series and thus appeals to the more laid-back skier seeking an easily maneuverable ride no matter where they travel. When combined with a mid-fat waist and a lightweight core, the Mindbender 106C becomes quite the all-conditions performer that loves to carve on steeps almost as much as it digs diving into the deep. Thus, the K2 Mindbender 106C Skis become one of the most highly coveted performers in the men’s line, offering an exceptionally fun-loving approach to freeride expertise.
