The all-new K2 Mindbender 116C W encapsulates everything our athletes have been looking for in a powder ski. The 116C W underwent strategic updates to shape and rocker profiles with the intention of maximizing float, stability, and maneuverability. Featuring K2 patented Spectral Braid technology, Bio Resin, and Uni-Directional Flax. The 116C W is inspired and loved by pro athletes McKenna Peterson and Manon Loschi.

High and long rise in the tip, low camber underfoot, and a medium-height, long rise in the tail to maximize float in soft snow.
An extension of K2’s Torsion Control Design, Spectral Braid is a first of its kind variable angle reinforcement that allows for precision tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the ski. Lively energetic, and remarkably composed; Mindbender skis with K2’s Spectral Braid have stability and control in spades while remaining hypermaneuverable.
Designed to enhance stability and control in all snow types, Torsion Control Design combines a progressive torsional flex with a balanced and even longitudinal profile. Torsionally stiffest in the forebody and center of the ski, then relaxing throughout the tail, K2 skis with TCD are characterized by precise, accurate turn initation and smooth, consistent turn release. TCD can be found on Mindbender and Mindbender Alliance skis, utilizing either Titanal Y-Beam or Spectral Braid construction.
