I have a two days on the 2023 179cm Mindbender 108Ti….I’m mounted at +1cm (-8 cm). It straight pulls at 178.5cm so it’s a full 179cm.

Here’s my brief take after two days…

First day the alpine...

Ya that’s where I got my 179cm 108MBTi…. review is coming. Really like it. Perfect ski for new snow on top of shit snow.

Can see me getting a 182cm Mindbender 116C this summer. Was talking...

Holy crap! The 2023 MB 108Ti mounted at +1cm is a great ski in 6” of new on crust. Great float and they blow through piles of chunder. More coming later….

Got my 108Ti Mindbenders mounted up. May try them this weekend at Whistler though it’s pretty hard packed I hear.

Mounted at +1cm from rec (~ -8.1cm) as I have a short bsl.

Here’s some MB...

Peak to Creek is unskiable.

Here’s two pics, same day:

The dirt part was a bit exaggerated….

1st pic - this is “above” the bottom of Red Chair….barely covered.

2nd pic - heading into...

I want something just a bit easier than a Katana 108 …but with not quite the -11cm mount and that still can rip everything, for the “varied” snow conditions we are getting at Whistler this year. ...

I picked up a pair of the 179cm 2023 K2 Mindbender 108Ti’s from the Last Hunt for $299CDN. They’re back up to $599CDN now.

Straight pull is 178.25cm and rec mount is just over 80 from tail...

I think the point above is you are at a point where you have a choice….and that choice could impact you economically.

Eg Sell em now with 1 mount. And you may get a decent price, and buy...

Haha I used to post like this all the time.

Agree wholeheartedly with post just above.

Buy skis that fit your style and mount on rec.

eg. I’m on rec on Hojis, Ravens, Optics, Season...

Just picked up a (used) mint pair of 175cm MB 106C’s with Jester bindings for my wife. Mounted at her exact same bsl and at a super super low price .

Thinking a MB108Ti could be my ripper ski...

Makes me happy.

I’m thinking of mounting my Reckoner 112s shortly with either STH or CAST.

Will complement my Rustler 11s, for days after a storm that I want a more playful ski. Though...

Got my 2021 Mindbender 116s mounted up with Tectons. These are replacing Ripstick 106s + Shifts. First time having Tectons too. Clicked into them on the living room floor last night. Pretty happy...

2021 K2 Mindbender 116C weight 179 cm:

1,891 gm for one ski
1,864 gm for the other.
———
3,755 gm per pair

Using a kitchen scale so take that into account….but weight is what I figured...

Ya I’m really interested to try these. Here they are. Feel light, yet still firmish enough. Perfect wider ski for my Tectons.

The 179cm measures 180.25cm with a tape along the base. So they...

Thanks Vic, what I figured.

Got some blue 2021 MB 116C’s on the way for my Tectons.

Actually I sold the retro MB08Ti (paid $449), but sold those at $100profit on ebay….and used the funds on...

Does anyone have a weight for the 179cm Mindbender 116C? Can only find the 186cm weight online (~2,030 per 186cm)?

I think I read 1,860gm per ski for the 179cm somehwere?

Looking for a...

The retro MB's look super sick! I'll be mounting mounting mine with gold Pivot 15s now.

Re the mounting question.

Back when I had a big house and a big double garage and ski workshop I...

Hey banditman,

Comparing the M102/K108s to a Mindbender 108Ti....MB is a bit more “enforcerish” I’m assuming. MB is kinda of inbetween the Enforcer 104 and the M102/K108s?

I’m planning on +2...

Nice work banditman!

Corbett’s price is too good to pass up. I bet you’re not out that much when all is said and done on the switch.

My last two ski purchases have been these 2021 limited...

I haven't even had coffee yet this am.

I thought my previous post showed how much I loved skiing through my gear buying and selling. But you took it that I like the gear more. So easy for...

Go get em.... 186cm K2 Mindbender LTD for $449CDN:

Thanks!

I was more explaining my spending theory....and that too many non-tgr people “judge” those of us who buy/sell gear....my point is, if you buy gear, knowing you’re going to lose money,...

Ya pretty much. Their prices are so damn low ($449 CDN for new 2021 Mindbender “limited” skis?) and it’s always free shipping and only 5% GST tax to BC.

My wife just shakes her head as the...

Well look what Corbett’s sent to my house....K2 Mindbender 108Ti LTD

Anyone own the K2 Merlin from 1998? Same graphic. Likely going a bit forward on these. With black STH 16s.

Interested...

Would love to hear what you think of the MB 108 at +3 and +2.

Hey poleplant,

Exactly. Some of us know we don’t like far back, traditional mounts, but we do want a bit chargier type ski.... just feel a bit better knowing someone else out there rides them...

Hey Banditman,

I’m thinking the MB would be awesome at Whistler too. We’re there every week from Nov - April. Sucks to have to wait til next year. Damn virus.

SirVic....very nice K2 quiver. ...

This makes sense and pretty much what I figured. The MB 108Ti would fit nicely in my inbounds quiver.....and the 108 is chargier (than the MB 116 and I really don’t need another pow ski) and the...

Anyone have the 179s...either the 179cm 108Ti or the 179cm 116C? I'm 5'7", 165lbs.

If so, what is the rec mount on the 179cm (-9.75 same as 186)?

Has anyone skied the 108 or 116 MB (any...
