When soft snow is in short supply, turn to the K2 Mindbender 89Ti men’s freeride ski. Although it's built with the same Titanal Y-Beam construction and All-Terrain Rocker profile as its other metal-reinforced Mindbender siblings, the 89Ti stands apart thanks to a narrower waist width. Its All-Terrain Rocker profile knows no bounds and keeps you nimble enough to navigate bumps, trees, and the occasional chop. The result is a ski that has the precise edge hold you need to dominate the hardpack but is still wide enough for forays into the ungroomed.

Spectral Braid
Another implementation of K2’s Torsion Control Design, patented Spectral Braid is a first-of-its-kind variable- angle fibre reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex by altering the fibre orientation along the length of the ski. Lively, energetic, and composed, skis with K2’s Spectral Braid have stability and control in spades while remaining extremely manoeuvrable.

Uni-Directional Flax
Flax is a lightweight and sustainable natural fiber reinforcement fabric that improves a skis ability to track in variable terrain resulting in improved suspension and composure.

Aspen Micro Block Core
Lightweight and resilient, this makes for a great all rounder for core material.

All-Terrain Rocker
Gradual rise in the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a low, short rise in the tail for added control in variable snow.

Bio Resin
Resin is the single largest contributor to a skis carbon footprint approx. 25%. K2 have managed to reduce the footprint by 30% with their new Bio Resin while also retaining strong bonding properties that can withstand the colder temperatures.

Designed for all-mountain freestyle enjoyment, the Chronic 94 remains the dopest all-mountain freestyle ski. What's even doper is the adjustments we've made to this flagship ski. Complete with Bio-Resin to increase bonding within the core, new Thin Tip Technology to increase tip and tail durability, and Thick-Cut Sidewalls for added edge strength, the Chronic 94 is the beefiest freestyle ski we've ever made. Pair these durability improvements with a refined overall shape, and you've got a sustainable ski that will feel just as good stepping up to the big jump line as it will ripping early morning groomers.
