Product Summary
The ski in details
At the widest waist width in the Mindbender Collection, K2 tasked their engineers with perfecting a versatile powder crusher that you always wanted – and born was the 116C.
It’s versatile enough to take on the burliest of lines, while remaining maneuverable and playful in powder. Built upon a resilient Aspen Micro Block Core and infused with the Powder Rocker profile, the 116C’s maximize float on those long powder days. Strapped with the patented Spectral Braid technology, a variable-angle fiber reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex these skis are both maneuverable and stable underfoot – the ultimate secret weapon for any steep and deep descent.
Technologies
Spectral Braid (Mindbender)
An extension of K2’s Torsion Control Design, Spectral Braid is a first of its kind variable angle reinforcement that allows for precision tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the ski. Lively, energetic, and remarkably composed; Mindbender skis with K2’s Spectral Braid have stability and control in spades while remaining hyper-maneuverable.
Powder Rocker™
Higher rise over a long section in the tip and tail to maximize float and planing in softer snow.
Uni-Directional Flax:
Flax is a lightweight and sustainable natural fiber reinforcement fabric that improves a skis ability to track in variable terrain resulting in improved suspension and composure.
Aspen Veneer
Lightweight and resilient, aspen is a great all-around core material.
