About K2 Mindbender 96 26/27 – All-mountain skis
The K2 Mindbender 96 is a brand new all-mountain ski in the updated Mindbender series for the 26/27 season. It is developed for skiers who want a ski that can handle everything from hard morning pistes to tree skiing and varied terrain. This means it offers a playful and confident feel that makes you want to take an extra run before the lifts close.
With a 96 mm waist, the Mindbender 96 strikes a perfect balance between edge grip and float. Therefore, it feels secure when carving clean turns on the piste, while also having enough width to handle softer snow and uneven terrain. The result is a ski that thrives almost anywhere on the mountain.
Dark Matter Technology also helps to dampen vibrations and create a calmer ride. This makes the ski feel stable even when the surface becomes choppy or when speed increases. At the same time, you get a responsive feel that ensures the ski never feels demanding.
To provide even more power and precision, K2 has equipped the Mindbender 96 with Titanal I-Beam. This reinforcement provides extra stability and better power transfer through the turn, while the ski retains its lively and playful character. Thanks to this, you get a ski that feels both powerful and easy to maneuver.
In addition, Enhanced Stability Points contribute to an even flex and a balanced ride. This gives you a ski that feels predictable and secure, whether you're skiing on the piste, between trees, or venturing off-piste.
In short, the K2 Mindbender 96 is a versatile all-mountain ski with clear freeride genes. It suits those who want a ski that delivers just as much fun in groomed runs as in more varied terrain.

Bindings & mounting
When you buy skis and bindings together from us, mounting and adjustment are included at no extra cost. For us to mount the bindings, you need to enter your weight and the boot sole length (BSL) of your ski boots when you order. You will find the boot sole length on the outside of the boot heel, given as three digits followed by mm, for example 315 mm. The bindings are mounted and adjusted before the skis are shipped. If you would rather mount the bindings yourself, we can deliver the skis unmounted.
Care & warranty
To keep your skis performing at their best, we recommend regular waxing and checking the steel edges. Wax the skis when needed and sharpen the edges when they start to get dull or damaged. Wipe the skis dry after use and store them in a dry place. Before longer storage, we recommend cleaning the bases and treating them with a protective layer of wax. The warranty against manufacturing defects applies according to the manufacturer's terms. Normal wear and tear and damage caused by use are not covered by the warranty.
Shipping & returns
We ship your skis directly from our warehouse in Hestra, Sweden. Normal delivery time is 1 to 3 business days for items in stock. You have 30-day returns on unused products. Please note that skis with mounted bindings cannot be returned. Unmounted skis can be returned in accordance with our return policy.
