K2 Mindben-r 116 C Skis + Tyrolia Attack 13 Demo Bindings 2020 – Used

Lights went on in the minds of our testers this year when we got a chance to test the new K2 Mindbender 116 C Skis + Tyrolia Attack 13 Demo Bindings in over a foot of windblown fresh. Responsive and snappy when you had to change directions in a hurry, but directionally strong when the chips were down, the K2 Mindbender 116 C Skis totally ruled the day. Expect more of the same whenever there’s more than 8″ new on the ground. If you like to ride terrain as big as your ego, this one is for you.

Powder Rocker
–
Powder Rocker is designed for unmatched flotation in deep snow. This tip has the most elevation and longest rocker and offers skiers a surfy feel with enhanced soft-snow performance. The camber still exists to ensure edgehold in firmer conditions.

Core

Maple and Paulownia

Laminates

Carbon Spectral Braid
–
A variable angle carbon fiber laminate allows the torsional and longitudinal stiffness to be adjusted independently. This construct keeps skis lighter and more playful for conditions when power and damping are less important.

Sidewalls

SlantWall Sidewalls
–
Beveled ABS sidewalls reduce weight while retaining exceptional edgehold.

Included Bindings

Includes Tyrolia Attack 13 Demo Bindings
–
DIN Range 4 – 13

  Terrain

  Big Mountain
  Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder
  These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

  Ability Level

  Advanced-Expert
  Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

• Rocker Type:
  Rocker/Camber/Rocker

  Rocker Type

  Rocker/Camber/Rocker
  Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski.The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

  Partial Twin Tip
  Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
