K2 Men's Mindbender 89 TI Ski 2026

The 2026 K2 Mindbender 89 Ti is a hard-snow specialist with all-mountain range. Precision-focused and quick edge to edge, it’s built for skiers who want race-like grip and stability with a bit more forgiveness and versatility than a full-on carver. Whether you're railing groomers, tackling bumps, or catching chalky off-trail lines, the 89 Ti is always ready.

It’s fast and precise without being harsh. You can push it as hard as you want, but it won’t punish you when conditions change or the terrain gets tight.

Advanced to expert skiers who want strong edge hold and a confidence-inspiring feel, especially on firm snow, but also appreciate versatility for all-mountain exploration.

The 89 mm waist makes this the narrowest of the Ti-powered Mindbenders, and it’s backed with K2’s Titanal Y-Beam for balanced stiffness, edge hold, and smooth turn transitions. The Aspen core keeps it snappy without feeling overly damp, while PowerWall construction gives it extra bite and torsional stability right underfoot. It’s responsive, intuitive, and built to be driven hard—but forgiving enough to ski all day.

This is a directional ski built mainly for carving performance, with touch of soft snow versatility. If your style leans more creative and you like a playful ski, the 89Ti will likely feel too locked-in. On the flip side, skiers who prefer a frontside focused ski and tend to stick to groomers may want to look at a dedicated carving ski for maximum performance.

These ski true to size. Go longer for speed and stability, or size down for quicker transitions and tighter turn shapes.
