Technology

Spectral Braid (Mindbender):

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 hyper-maneuverable.

Uni-Directional Flax:

Flax is a lightweight and sustainable natural fiber reinforcement fabric that improves a skis ability to track in variable terrain resulting in improved suspension and composure.

All-Terrain Rocker™:

Gradual rise in the tip with a short, low section in the tail for greater versatility in all conditions.

Aspen Veneer:

Lightweight and resilient, aspen is a great all-around core material.

BINDINGS NOT INCLUDED:

Ski bindings are not included or installed as part of this purchase. All bindings must be mounted, adjusted, and tested by an authorized retailer prior to use.
