When soft 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.
SKIER TYPE:
STYLE: All Mountain
ABILITY: Intermediate / Advanced
SHAPE: Rocker / Camber / Rocker
CAMBER
All-Terrain Rocker – Skis with All-Terrain rockers have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control variable snow.
CORE
Aspen Venner – Lightweight and resilient, Aspen is a great all-around core material.
LAMINATES
Ti Y-Beam – TCD-optimized shape, placing Titanal directly over the edges in the forebody of the ski for powerful and consistent turn entry in variable and off-piste conditions. Underfoot, the Titanal spans the full width of the ski for maximum power transfer and control. In the tail, the Titanal narrows, tapering to allow the ski to break free on the back end of the turn while still remaining supportive.
SIDEWALLS
PowerWall – Power transfer to the ski's edges is dramatically enhanced with oversized ABS sidewalls that are laminated and pocketed within the wood core in the midbody of the ski.
BINDING COMPATIBILITY
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
