K2
The Mindbender series is the big story for K2 skis in 2027, with the addition of 7 new models across both men's and women's lines. We found the Mindbender 96 to be an exemplary all-mountain option with equal parts awesome carving and playful creativity. When you bump up to the new 101, we're seeing that scale tip more to the freeride and soft snow side, with a flatter profile and more manageable flex pattern. Narrower, the Mindbender 88 has an innovative mix of short turn acumen to go along with a smooth and stable ride in all sorts of conditions and terrain. Reckoner and Omen continue to top K2's freestyle offerings, with the Reckoners having more of a natural feature and freeride lean while Omen falls more to the competitive side of the slopestyle spectrum. The Reckoner KF gets a boost in stiffness and weight to accommodate more aggressive skiing.
