Description

The Mindbender 116 C is the widest model in the K2 Mindbender freeride ski range. Although it is voluminous, it doesn't feel like an ocean liner underfoot, thanks to the manoeuvrability offered by its double rocker and the compromise between power and playability of its progressive flex. A ski that should be taken to size or 10 cm wider, in order to benefit from optimal ski/snow contact.  

What is the programme of the K2 Mindbender 116 C ski?  

The Mindbender 116 C may be the widest and most exclusive ski in the Mindbender series in terms of snow conditions, but it is not the most physical ski to ski. Indeed, unlike the 106 Ti, the Mindbender 116 C is not stiffened by a titanium plate. It simply benefits from a mixed poplar/paulownia shell that is both light and tonic, reinforced with fibreglass and carbon fibre. So, we have under our feet a very dynamic and quite light ski, very comfortable to ski despite its volume. The double rocker allows for ultra-fast pivoting, while improving the lift by one notch. You can't take it out all year round but, when the snow conditions are right, it provides pure pleasure in powder snow, when slaloming between the pines, jumping from pillow to pillow, etc. A ski for the big mountain or backcountry with a good balance between performance and comfort. 

Who is the K2 Mindbender 116 C ski for?  

This model is designed for experienced or expert freeskiers looking for a ski with which they can draw beautiful lines at high speed in powder snow, while maintaining a ski that is fun to ski and offers maximum sensations.

Tips and advice

After using our calculator, you can explore further with our guides (depending on your skiing style):

And to see the method in action, here’s our video tutorial (example focused on piste / all-mountain skiing, with useful benchmarks whatever your style).

At glisshop.co.uk, you’ll find one of the most comprehensive ski selections available online. To choose the right pair, start with three simple criteria: your ability level, your preferred terrain (piste, all-mountain, freeride, freestyle, touring), and your budget.

To refine your selection, several options are available:

  1. The advanced search tool: located at the top of each category page, it allows you to filter by brand, skill level, discipline, and more. By combining these filters, you can quickly narrow down the range and easily find the models best suited to your skiing style.

  2. Contact us on 020 3129 3301: a pair of skis is a technical piece of equipment. Before placing your order, it’s best to make sure the model truly meets your expectations. Our team is here to advise you.

To go further and understand the differences between ski types, take a look at our comprehensive guide 'Which skis to choose?'.

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
