K2 Mindbender 98Ti Alliance Skis 2022

Gradual rise in the tip with a short, low section in the tail for greater versatility in all conditions.

A single species of wood ensures consistency - giving riders the advantage of a proven flex, durability, and snap.

Titanal has long been used in high-end skis and is known for providing a damp, stable ride at high speeds and on variable terrain, but our Y-Beam technology takes things a step further with dramatically enhanced performance tuning. Y-shaped prongs set over the edges in the shovel of the ski provide precise, powerful turn initiation, while the narrower metal shape in the tail of the ski provides the support you need for charging while still remaining maneuverable, forgiving, and easy to break free from turns. You can find Titanal Y-Beam technology on our Mindbender 108Ti, Mindbender 99Ti, Mindbender 89Ti, Mindbender 99Ti W, and Mindbender 89Ti W skis.

Power transfer is dramatically enhanced with the oversized ABS sidewalls that are laminated and pocketed within the woodcore in the midbody of the ski. With the sidewall extending into the heart of the ski, the transmission of energy from skier to ski edge is direct and precise.

Eliminates the overly stiff mid-section typically found on shorter lengthed skis. K2 addresses this with an insert that leaves a smooth, consistent flex profile optimized on every size from longest to shortest.
