Back in 2019, when I first clicked into the Mindbender 108 Ti's, I honestly was expecting that I was about to ski another over hyped K2 -- 15 minutes later I would learn that my initial thinking was wrong, very wrong. I guess that's what makes the name so fitting.  K2's have always had a familiar feel from how they feel in your hand to how easy and smooth feeling they ski.  The Mindbender is smooth and confident at speed, but it wants to be driven, it's built for people that drive skis #driverswanted.  K2 absolutely crushed it with this ski back in '18/'19, so they were smart and decided to keep the same construction for the 2021 season and add a new paint job.  The 108 Ti is an East coast 100 mm plus waisted ski, if you're a good skier you could justify having just this one pair.  It floats well enough, it grips well enough -- even after a serious thaw-freeze cycle.  Again, they are skis that like to be driven.

Titanal + Carbon Fiber tip and tail

Designed by: K2 // Built by: K2, China

TLDR: Still one of the most solid feeling skis underfoot we've ever ski'd.

Recommended Binding: The K2 Mindbender 108 Ti's do NOT include a binding, awesome skis never do we recommend the Marker Griffon with 110 mm brake.
