2026 K2 Mindbender 96 C Skis – Lightweight Versatility with Spectral Braid Control
Playful precision for skiers who want power, agility, and all-terrain confidence.
The K2 Mindbender 96 C Skis deliver the legendary Mindbender performance in a lighter, more approachable package. Engineered with Spectral Braid technology and Uni-Directional Flax damping in place of Titanal, these skis provide a smoother, more versatile ride without sacrificing stability.
Sitting just below the hard-charging 99 Ti, the 96 C offers a balanced mix of power, maneuverability, and forgiveness, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of skiers and conditions. Whether you’re carving groomers, weaving through trees, or chasing soft snow beyond the resort, the Mindbender 96 C is designed to keep you in control while maximizing fun.
| ROCKER PROFILE |
All-Terrain Rocker – A gradual tip rise enhances versatility across all conditions, while a subtle, low-rise tail improves control and stability in variable snow. The result is a balanced rocker profile that adapts seamlessly from groomers to off-piste terrain. |

CORE |
Aspen Micro Block Core – Constructed with multiple aspen stringers, this core delivers a smooth, consistent flex with a damp, stable ride that balances power and control across varied terrain. |

LAMINATES |
Bio Resin – A sustainable alternative to traditional resins, Bio Resin enhances bonding with the core, increases strength in cold conditions, and reduces environmental impact. Spectral Braid – K2’s patented variable-angle reinforcement technology, Spectral Braid fine-tunes torsion and flex by adjusting fiber orientation along the ski’s length, creating a ride that’s lively, energetic, and composed. Uni-Directional Flax – Lightweight and eco-friendly, flax fibers boost suspension and composure by improving tracking in variable terrain, delivering a smoother, more confident ride. |
| SIDEWALLS |
Hybritech Sidewall – A hybrid construction that blends the power of sidewalls with the forgiveness of cap design, delivering precise edge hold with smooth, predictable turn initiation. |
| BASE |
Sintered Base |
