Its 96 mm waist balances easy edge-to-edge performance with the float needed for fresh snow and spring conditions. Carbon Spectral Braid uses variable-angle carbon reinforcement to provide energetic response and controlled torsional stiffness, while Uni-Directional Flax improves damping when conditions become uneven. An Aspen Micro Block Core keeps the ski lively and consistent without excessive weight. The All-Terrain Rocker profile pairs gradual tip rise with low tail rocker and camber underfoot, helping the ski enter turns smoothly, maintain grip and release cleanly. Hybritech sidewalls balance responsive edging with a forgiving, smooth turn feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96 mm waist: \u003c\/strong\u003eVersatile width for groomers, soft snow and changing all-mountain conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Spectral Braid: \u003c\/strong\u003eVariable-angle carbon reinforcement provides energetic response and controlled torsional stiffness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUni-Directional Flax: \u003c\/strong\u003eNatural fibre reinforcement improves damping and helps the ski track smoothly through uneven snow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Terrain Rocker: \u003c\/strong\u003eGradual tip rocker, low tail rocker and camber underfoot balance float, grip and easy turn release.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAspen Micro Block Core: \u003c\/strong\u003eResponsive Aspen construction creates a consistent flex and lively feel without unnecessary weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybritech Sidewall: \u003c\/strong\u003eCombines sidewall precision with cap-style turn initiation for reliable edge control and smooth handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize Chart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-scroll\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"size-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize (cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e148\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e154\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e166\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e172\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTip Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaist Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTail Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurning Radius (m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividual Ski Weight (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1355\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1455\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1555\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1630\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1760\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BaseNZ","offers":[{"title":"148","offer_id":51196919283844,"sku":"KS250966001","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"154","offer_id":51196919316612,"sku":"KS250966002","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"160","offer_id":51196919349380,"sku":"KS250966003","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"166","offer_id":51196919382148,"sku":"KS250966004","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"172","offer_id":51196919414916,"sku":"KS250966005","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0321\/8063\/3732\/files\/26-mindbender-96c-w-148-931.webp?v=1782782261","url":"https:\/\/basenz.com\/products\/k2-mindbender-96c-w-skis-2026-dfs","provider":"BaseNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
