The construction delivers a strong, confidence-boosting flex that rewards a committed stance and stays composed at speed, so it never feels like a watered-down touring ski. On the climb, the Shift2 13 switches into pin mode for efficient skinning and a natural stride; on the descent it locks into a full alpine toe and heel with a DIN range up to 13, giving heavier or more aggressive skiers proper retention and power for big lines, drops and fast runouts. For riders who want one ski to cover resort freeride laps and serious touring missions, this is a quiver-of-one option that does not compromise the downhill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96 mm freeride shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Versatile waist for firm days, soft snow and everything in between.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Terrain Rocker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rockered tip and tail for float and ease in variable snow, camber underfoot for edge hold and drive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStout, chargey flex:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to stay stable at speed and through chop rather than feeling overly light or nervous.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShift2 13 hybrid binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tech toes for the skin track, full alpine interface for the descent with DIN 6–13.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-norm compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with touring, GripWalk and Alpine soles for flexible boot choices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSki-team touring pick:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curated for strong skiers who want a serious downhill ski that can still earn its turns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BaseNZ","offers":[{"title":"173","offer_id":51866854097028,"sku":null,"price":2539.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"178","offer_id":51866854129796,"sku":null,"price":2539.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"183","offer_id":51866854162564,"sku":null,"price":2539.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0321\/8063\/3732\/files\/k2-mindbender-96-touring-ski-package-2027-hski-177.webp?v=1779082092","url":"https:\/\/basenz.com\/products\/k2-mindbender-96-touring-ski-package-2027","provider":"BaseNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
