The K2 Mindbender 88 Ti Alliance is an all-mountain ski for aggressive skiers that prioritize mostly firm or groomed terrain, but it still has the capability to be taken off piste into more adventurous terrain. It's the perfect ski of choice for women who want to rip on days when soft snow isn't on the docket. Similar to a lot of skis in the Mindbender Alliance collection, this one starts with an Aspen Veneer core which then gets boosted by a Titanal Y-Beam which provides tailored levels of power and stiffness to specific segments of the ski. Metal over the edges of the tip of the ski extend into a full-width sheet in the central portion of the ski. What this does is provide stiffness both longitudinally and torsionally allowing the skier to drive turns using the forebody of the ski with precision and confidence-inspiring edge hold. The metal then tapers into a narrower strip in the tail, still providing stability, but allowing for more torsional flex in that portion of the ski for ease edge release and maneuverability. Carve powerful, quick turns on this ski or take into the bumps and trees. You'll be very impressed at its ability to handle different terrain thanks to its tighter radius. A low-rise rocker in the tips and tails adds float and maneuverability to the ski, but because of its low profile, when the ski gets tipped on edge, you still get a long effective edge which is crucial and edge hold for stability at high speeds. Ladis that like to charge will love the powerful performance of the K2 Mindbender 88 Ti Alliance.Features: Sidecut: 134/88/120 mm at 163 cm length Turn Radius: 14.7 meters at 163 cm length Core: Aspen Veneer Titanal Y-Beam Rocker/Camber/Rocker Profile Ability Level: Advanced and Expert Skiers Core/Laminates:Metal, Wood Tail Type:FlatMore Flat Warranty:2 Years Size (cm) 149 156 163 170 Tip Width (mm) 123 Waist Width (mm) 88 Tail Width (mm) 112 Turning Radius (m) 14.7
