At 116 underfoot, The K2 Mindbender is designed for people who like to play in the powder, but the construction creates a ski that can deal with variable conditions on the mountain. The wood core keeps this ski light, playful, and poppy, while the braided construction provides power and much-needed stability.
Key Features:
- Spectral Braid – A woven fiber provides different flex and torsional properties to different parts of the ski. This feature keeps the ski stable and robust at speed and surfy and playful in powder.
- Wood Core – The Maple and Paulownia Core gives the ski a lively, energetic feel while keeping the ski light.
- Carbon Boost Braid – Longitudinal carbon fibers are woven into the ski, leading to better pop and rebound. The ski will feel more lively and energetic, especially while getting airborne.
- Powder Rocker – Rocker in the tips and tails provides excellent float in the powder, while camber underfoot generates more edge hold while carving turns.

The K2 Mindbender 116 C is a seriously surfy directional powder ski. This ski will excel on days with 6+ inches of new snow for someone who likes to keep their skis pointed downhill.
Key Features:
- 116mm Underfoot – The over 110mm width definitely puts this ski in the powder ski category. This ski will perform best in new snow, and it’s recommended that you pair this with a narrower ski for firm days.
- Rocker/Camber/Rocker Profile – This ski has rocker in the tip and tail, meaning that it will float in powder and be easy to turn.
- Carbon Spectral Braid – This layer of carbon fiber threading keeps the ski lighter and more maneuverable, rather than heavier and powerful. Expect this ski to be very fun fresh powder, but not great for straight-lining moguls.

The K2 Mindbender 116C Ski is a versatile, big-mountain, powder ski for advanced skiers.
Key Features: - 116mm Waist Width – At 116mm underfoot, the Mindbender 116C is built for powder.
- Maple Paulownia Core – A hybrid core makes the ski a bit lighter while also being energetic and responsive.
- Rocker / Camber / Rocker Construction – Rocker in the tip and tail make for easy turn initiation and flotation, while camber underfoot ensures edge hold and stability at speed.
- Carbon – Added carbon makes the ski damper and allows it to hold a better edge.

 Welcome to our 2021 ski test videos. Today we're going to talk about this big, awesome K2 Mindbender 116 C. 116 underfoot pretty squarely puts this ski in the freeride and I'll just go ahead and say powder category. This is the widest of all of the Mindbender skis and it uses carbon, hence that C

 So if you're really looking for float, powder performance but also stability, you know, maybe you live somewhere out west and you really like skiing all the open, steep terrain regardless of whether you have fresh powder or not, this is a great choice because even on those lower snow days, it's still going to perform pretty darn well. And yeah, nice and light too for a ski that's 116 underfoot, definitely lighter than the Mindbender Ti models. So super, super fun ski from K2, I have a lot of fun on these, I wish we had, you know, I wish every day was a powder ski so I could ski a ski like this every day. But a lot of fun, if you're looking for a powder ski that can also do a little bit of charging now and then, Mindbender 116C is a great choice

 116 underfoot pretty squarely puts this ski in the freeride and I'll just go ahead and say powder category. This is the widest of all of the Mindbender skis and it uses carbon, hence that C. So with the Mindbenders we get Ti models and we get C models. The ones with C use spectral braid and they also use carbon boost, which is essentially carbon woven into the fiberglass layer of the ski in a longitudinal axis

 So both those are obviously powder skis, they actually both use spectral braid but they use it in slightly different applications. So this Mindbender 116, a little bit more stable at speed, you know, you get actually pretty good amount of camber in this ski, plenty of tip and tail rocker too but those Reckoners have more pronounced rocker and softer flex too. So this ski has kind of proven itself to be a pretty strong ski in even like mixed snow. So definitely good in the powder, you know, you get a great shape for powder, plenty of rocker, some nice smooth early taper through the tips and tails

2021 SkiEssentials.com Ski Test - K2 Mindbender 116C

 If you want to ski fast and smooth in-bounds the whole day then my best bet has been on heavier skis like the Revolt or Kartel/Jeffrey. I'm not the best at freestyle, but I can butter and manage rotations decently well on my Revolt 121s.

Currently riding a pair of moment franks for park and moment
Wildcat 101s for all
Mountain. Love the wildcat 101s. But I’ve Never really been on a very wide powder ski on a deep day. My main question is about if I should go for a lighter powder ski like moment CBs or BC 120s. Or a more heavy duty powder ski like the wildcats or dynastar mfree 118s blizzard spurs etc.

Mainly wondering how much does weight effect float and surfiness? 
As well as if a burlier ski is needed for control
At high speeds when in soft snow. 

Not concerned with performance in non powder conditions as I have other skis for that purpose.

Adding a powder ski to the quiver

 And then through the tail, they're a little bit straighter, and that gives the ski more playfulness and surfiness on the end of the ski. So it's built to kind of mirror the titanal Y-beam that they use in the Mindbender 108Ti. They just use carbon in this one to lighten the load, get this thing a little bit more playful, a little bit softer, has a really nice flex to it, and you can tell that this thing is going to float and smear through fresh snow. No problem whatsoever

 Tapered down as well, right about here is the widest part of the ski. That's going to make this thing pop right up out of the snow, give it that really playful and fun personality. We see that same theory applied to the tail as well, very low, long, kind of minimal splay. That's a nod to the directional aspect of the ski, you know the more free ride ones are a little bit more bowed out with more dramatic splay at the end, but these definitely fall in line with that more directional philosophy and combine that with that carbon

 So this one here is the 186 and we are looking at a 22.9 meter turn radius. So that's pretty straight, that's kind of what we're used to seeing for these mid teens, hundred teens underfoot skis, really adds to the free ride playfulness of it. It's neither hooky nor grabby as a result, you can kind of take a straighter line, throw these things sideways, really access all of the performance features of the ski

2022 K2 Mindbender 116C - SkiEssentials.com Ski Test

 If you are looking for powder and skiing in an area where you get a lot of soft snow, these would be great for you, but really if you're looking for a carving ski, this is not going to be it. So obviously the ski is going to work really well for some people and not so great for others. If you're not sure if this is the right ski for you, if you want to have a little bit of a conversation about this ski or any other ski, feel free to shoot me a message at my curated profile. If you've actually tried these skis before, I would love to hear your thoughts

 So I definitely recommend this ski for someone who's been on the hill for a while and knows what they like, someone who wants a ski that they can charge on, someone who knows what they're doing. This definitely takes a little bit of a drive behind it, since this ski is so wide and aggressive. So definitely someone who knows what they're doing, someone who's going for big lines, who's skiing really fast. This is not going to be a great ski if you're someone who's primarily focused on groomers and really wants a ski that they can lay over and carve super hard

 Hi, this is Daryl from Curated, and I just got finished testing the Mindbender 116 for 2021. Just a quick note, I'm not being paid or compensated by any brands for this review, this is just all coming from me. So K2 markets this ski to more big mountain skiers, people who are skiing really steep, aggressive lines, getting into deep powder a lot. So if you look at the ski from the side, you can see that there's quite a bit of rocker at tip and tail, and that's going to lend itself to those powder days I was talking about, as well as allowing the ski to lean over a little bit more when you're trying to carve

 So definitely someone who knows what they're doing, someone who's going for big lines, who's skiing really fast. This is not going to be a great ski if you're someone who's primarily focused on groomers and really wants a ski that they can lay over and carve super hard. If you are looking for powder and skiing in an area where you get a lot of soft snow, these would be great for you, but really if you're looking for a carving ski, this is not going to be it. So obviously the ski is going to work really well for some people and not so great for others

Strung up with Carbon Spectral Braid, K2 claims their Mindbender 116C ski can charge the mountain and is the ultimate powder ski. Need proof before you believe it? Ski expert Daryl Morrison is back again at Winter Park resort testing the skis herself so you don't have to.

2021 K2 Mindbender 116C Ski Review | Curated - YouTube

 So these guys are coming in at a 22.9 meter radius in the 186 length. What K2 has done they've made the shovel of the ski along with the tail of the ski the side cut to be pretty flat so it'll be nice and easy to break loose and you're not gonna feel really hooked and too too hooked into a turn. Yeah so this is the K2 Mindbender 116C from K2

 So it's coming in with a maple and polonia wood core. So the maple is a nice hardwood, damn really solid, but being a hardwood it's pretty heavy. So they pair it with a polonia wood core which is a really lightweight core which keeps this ski nice and light paired with that carbon spectral braid. So a really nice ski for midwinter ski touring or if you're just looking for a nice comfy ski for moshing at the hill

 What K2 has done they've made the shovel of the ski along with the tail of the ski the side cut to be pretty flat so it'll be nice and easy to break loose and you're not gonna feel really hooked and too too hooked into a turn. Yeah so this is the K2 Mindbender 116C from K2.

 You can see nice early rise in the tip and then a little bit flatter of a profile in the tail just to give you some nice sturdiness and a little bit more support especially if you're hucking cliffs and going big you're not gonna wheelie out. So this is coming in the tip 143-116 as the name implies underfoot and then a generous 133 in the tail. So these guys are coming in at a 22.9 meter radius in the 186 length

Ski Review - K2 Mindbender 116C - YouTube

 So it's a tighter weave or a tighter cross hatching of carbon stringers in the shovel and then it just gets wider apart and through the tail. So it's very much, you know, X's like this in the front and then like that in the tail. So the X's in the front lead to more torsional stiffness and then in the back it leads to a little bit more of a drifty feel. And they do flex pretty well

 I mean it's a very consistent when you're just hand flexing it. Like this is exactly what you're looking for out of a powder ski for sure. And then in the tail it's just a little bit more playful from side to side but it does have that, you know, it does have enough support to hold up to stronger more aggressive skiing. It's pretty light too, you know, this is the 179 and for 116 underfoot it's 1818 grams

 And then in the tail it's just a little bit more playful from side to side but it does have that, you know, it does have enough support to hold up to stronger more aggressive skiing. It's pretty light too, you know, this is the 179 and for 116 underfoot it's 1818 grams. So pretty light under 2000 grams for 116 millimeter underfoot ski is pretty good. I think their use of carbon in Polonia really kind of add up to that nice lightweight free, you know, free ride fun in that more directional format

 And then they use their carbon boost stringers that run vertically through the ski and then they use their carbon boost braid technology. So what they're doing is they're altering the flex of the ski in specific areas. So it's a tighter weave or a tighter cross hatching of carbon stringers in the shovel and then it just gets wider apart and through the tail. So it's very much, you know, X's like this in the front and then like that in the tail
