The K2 Mindbender 89TI is an all-mountain frontside ski designed for riders who spend most of their time on groomers but want the option to explore softer snow at the edges of the piste. It belongs to K2’s Comfort lineup, striking a balance between stability and easy handling.
With a sidecut of 130/89/114 at 176 cm, this ski delivers precise turn initiation and solid edge hold, while the 89 mm waist offers enough flotation when you wander off the tracked snow.
