Manufacturers description
Quick edge-to-edge? Check. Absurd float in pow? Oh you bet. You might be surprised to hear that the Mindbender 99Ti only clocks in at 99 underfoot – it definitely hits above it’s weight. Toss in that titanial Y-Beam™ and you’ll be wondering where the speed limit on this thing really is. West Coast, East Coast – it doesn’t matter. It’s the kind of ski you drop in the back of your car, and take with you wherever you go.

Strengths:
Fantastic skiing! Quick, stable and great fun! Works everywhere! Best ski I've ridden. Had the opportunity to test in everything except deep powder, but well boot-deep and it worked as well as it could.
Weaknesses:
Guess the only weakness is that it is a fairly demanding "directional" ski. It takes you down just about anywhere but you have to decide. Which is no problem for a fairly experienced skier.
Summary:
One ski to rule them all
Model year: 2022
Riding style: Powder and piste
Length on the ski: 177 cm
Riders weight: 70 kg
Riders length: 178 cm

Strengths:
Stable at high speeds, plows through everything.
Weaknesses:
Requires a little pressure for short turns at lower speeds.
Summary:
Like a Volvo V70 on the motorway from Sthlm to the mountains. Safe and stable that leaves you without surprises.
No problem cruising with it and it pops easily even in short turns if you have a little speed. Have not tried enough to give it a rating off the piste. Looking forward to the next ski trip already ...

About the ski: "All Terrain Rocker" (tip & tail, span under foot) Core: wood core with maple and aspen Mindbender 99Ti: "The one ski to rule them all", according to K2's marketer who obviously likes Tolkien (+ 1 on the!). Built with "Titanal Beam Technology" with the metal alloy Titanal consisting mostly of aluminum in the form of a tuning fork, harder in the front, a little playful and softer at the back. The meatiest ski in the Mindbender range, in terms of stiffness and speed stability. The new Mindbender range, which is due for 2019/2020, will also consist of a 108 and 90 mm, plus the Mindbender 98 and 88 Alliance for women. The series seems to have even more siblings in the coming years.
Olle: - One of the skis that feels most all-round, good on everything. Hard with good pressure, at the same time soft front and back and playful. The duck rocks back and forth, but at the same time fleshy. At high speed, the super stable is driving full speed down the Hovde hill here. Think it works great outside too! The overall result is 4.5.
Emma: - Great fun skiing. A ski that responds and keeps when driving fast. No skiing to vacation on. A ski that is challenging, but at the same time it is not quite as tough as some others in the test. Feels like a ski that fits everything you expose it to. Rating 4.5
Max: - It was fantastic ride we had with this ski. Great range with tip and tail, fun to ride on the slopes and answers well. It does everything that an almountain ski should do. Played on some rollers in the piste and the rocker makes it still a little playful. Rating 4.

The new K2 Mindbender series from K2 coming this winter! A waist width of 99 millimeters gives you the freedom to play wherever the snow leads you, at the same time as you can lie down and carve in the piste. All Mindbender skis (90, 99, 108 and 116mm) have metal reinforcement with titanium and are built with a design called Powerwall Sidewall. This makes the ski powerful when you put it on edge, directly & accurately. The very body of the Mindbender series is the view that carving and freeride skiing should not be mutually exclusive. It will be possible to carve and ride big freerirde rides with the same ski. This has been achieved through the design known as the Torsion Control Design. A technique that allows the ski to be extremely stiff at the front edge (better ice grip & stability) but also makes it more playful at the end of the ski for it to be compliant. The design is called Titanal Y-Beam Technology and is a metal layer that tactically rests on needed parts of the ski for different properties. The K2 Mindbender TI ski is for those who want to be able to ride fast and stable all over the mountain but who do not want to lose play. Testing Quote: “Really fun to pee with! Has a rock-solid edge grip and tears through snow that has been cut "and" Super cool almountain ski. Shreds the puckarl, floats on top of the powder and at the same time carved really well. "
