Mindbender 85 2025
evo.com | K2 Skis > The most easy-going model in K2's long Mindbender menu, the K2 Mindbender 85 Skis are light and confidence-inspiring, and a great way to transition from narrow, flat-tailed rental or beginner models. With the Aspen Micro Block core used in all the Mindbenders but without the metal laminate, the "85" features predictable but forgiving performance and easy direction changes. Triaxial Braid A K2-patented machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled core for pronounced torsional strength, while retaining the lively flex patterns inherent in a wood ski. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Sintered Base All-Terrain Rocker Skis with All-Terrain rocker 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. Aspen Micro Block Core Many small stringers of Aspen give a consistent flex, smooth feel, and damp ride. | K2 Mindbender 85 Skis 2025 - 170
