After many years of tried and true performance, K2’s Mindbender series has quickly become synonymous with excellence in a freeride setting, and the K2 Mindbender 90C Women’s Ski is no exception to this norm. Returning unchanged for the new season but for an elegant graphic refresh, the Mindbender 90C resurfaces just as confident as seasons past and enlists the expertise of K2’s Carbon Spectral Braiding to achieve this. In altering the fiber orientation along the length of the ski, Carbon Spectral Braiding supercharges the Mindbender 90C with a remarkable sense of composure derived from a striking balance between torsional stiffness and overall flex. Thus, the Mindbender 90C once again stakes its claim as an exceptionally intuitive performer that—when combined with an All-Terrain Rocker profile and a 90mm waist—continues the K2 trend of uncompromised versatility in an agile frame. With an easily maneuverable and energetic ride that can carve with confidence in any terrain, the Mindbender 90C unsurprisingly falls on the more approachable end of the freeride spectrum and thus appeals to the less experienced female skier seeking adventurous applications in a versatile setting.
