Product Summary
The ski in details
The premier powder ski for women
At the widest waist width in the Mindbender Collection, K2 challenged their engineers to create the ultimate versatile powder crusher — and the result is the 116C. Designed to tackle the burliest lines while staying maneuverable and playful in deep snow, the 116C shines on long powder days. Built with a resilient Aspen Micro Block Core and K2´s Powder Rocker profile, it maximizes float when the snow is deep. Equipped with their patented Spectral Braid technology, the 116C offers a perfect balance of maneuverability and stability underfoot — making it the ultimate secret weapon for any steep, deep descent.
Technologies
Powder Rocker™
Higher rise over a long section in the tip and tail to maximize float and planing in softer snow.
Aspen Veneer
Lightweight and resilient, aspen is a great all-around core material.
Bio-Resin
Eco-friendly material for energetic and consistent flex across a wide range of temperatures.
Spectral Braid (Mindbender)
An extension of K2’s Torsion Control Design, Spectral Braid is a first of its kind variable angle reinforcement that allows for precision tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the ski. Lively, energetic, and remarkably composed; Mindbender skis with K2’s Spectral Braid have stability and control in spades while remaining hyper-maneuverable.
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.
