Cosa dice l'azienda
String ‘em up and slap ‘em down. The Mindbender 108Ti are meant to run. Utilizing K2’s Proprietary Titanal Y-Beam™, this freak of a ski is meant to do one thing: mash. From deep pow to the chalky steeps, this beast is the big mountain charger you’ve been waiting for. Toss in a longer turn radius and even flex, and you’ll be wondering why it took you so long to hop on board.

TORSION CONTROL DESIGN:
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 easing throughout the tail, K2 skis with TCD have both precise, accurate turn initiation and smooth, consistent turn release in all snow types
TITANAL Y-BEAM:
K2’s Ti Y-Beam delivers precision in the forebody of the ski, power underfoot and stability in the tail, all while maintaining the maneuverability and drift control needed for freeride ripping. Precision cut titanal in a ‘Y’ shape alters the torsional stiffness of the ski while maintaining a balanced, even flex pattern that delivers power in a controlled manner throughout the length of the ski.
POWERWALL:
Power transfer is dramatically enhanced with the oversized ABS sidewalls that are laminated and pocketed within the wood core in the midbody of the ski. With the sidewall extending into the heart of the ski, the transmission of energy from skier to ski edge is direct and precise.
CORE:
FIR CORE Energetic, tough, dense wood that absorbs impact.
ASPEN CORE Lightweight and resilient, great all-around material.

K2 con la nuova serie Mindbender ha messo a punto una struttura con due piastre in titanio per migliorare la precisione nella parte anteriore dello sci e avere grande leggerezza e facilità di gestione in backcountry. Il Mindbender 108 Ti, da buon fratello maggiore del 99 Ti, ne rispecchia tutte le caratteristiche, esaltandole nel big-mountain.
E’ uno sci di una certa sostanza, dedicato a discese in campo aperto a tutto gas, aggiudicandosi il premio Scelto dai Tester come migliore proposta da freeride per la prossima stagione. E’ uno sci “divertente allo stato puro, che ti fa sentire subito a tuo agio, molto maneggevole ma allo stesso tempo stabile e preciso” racconta Alex Favaro, Nonostante “ci voglia un po' di tempo per comprenderlo” a fondo spiega Alex Penengo “lo sci risulta facile e stabile” con un comportamento molto omogeneo.
In fuoripista è “molto intuitivo, anche in condizioni di crosta, nella powder galleggia benissimo anche a bassa velocità” racconta Giulio Ostinelli nella scheda.
In conclusione ci troviamo davanti a una macchina da guerra per il fuoripista ma che usato occasionalmente in pista non sfigura, anzi ha un comportamento eccellente per la categoria. Il suo terreno ideale sono le giornate di powder, consigliato a un’utenza con un livello tecnico medio alto, indicato a chi partecipa a competizioni o eventi Freeride.
