What’s the longest length for the 101 and 110?

Usually you won't be able to get the 19x k2s until the fall after a spring release unless you can find some protos. They like to get the 17xs and 18xs out the door mid season and make us size queens wait till September ish

Hey SVS - here's my very late 191 MB 99ti review - I love them.

Dispatch 110 is on my radar. Anyone got weights on these things yet?

I got a friend who got to lay hands on the D110. Says it is pretty damn stiff.

Slightly heavier than the wayback way lighter than the mindbender. Suited for touring and bc not designed to be a resort ski

hey there, K2 fans.
I got on a pair of 184cm 99Ti this week. Wow. So good. My usual no-fresh snow ski is an Enforcer 93, which I absolutely love. The 99Ti rips on groomers and is not nearly as stiff as I anticipated it would be. Very smooth.

I've searched this thread but haven't found if any of you have tried mounting +1. For some reason I feel like this ski would really open up just slightly fwd of the line.

Now I'd like to try the other skis in the lineup. Good shit, K2!

I felt the same about the 108 Ti, but +1 ended up feeling weird. I think if they loosened up the tail and moved the flex zone a little forward it would be the tits at -8cm

Stumbled upon some brand new 184cm Proto top sheet 99Ti’s at a ski outlet store in Oshkosh Wisconsin of all places. Only marked down to $420 though…

Not bad for a ski with metal inserts

Can anyone speak to the durability of the mindbender (particularly the 108?)

I ski out of Utah, and on powder days it's not uncommon to find buried rocks. After maybe 25 days on a Black Crows Corvus this season, I had a totaled ski with a foot of edge, sidewall, and core missing.

I get that skis can only take so much abuse, but definitely looking for something a bit... hardier.

I ski both the MB 90ti and 108ti… no reason why they would be any more or less hardier than a Black Crows ski.

Mb 108 is getting a slight update for next year I hear . Metal shifted forward a cm or 2 and tail is slightly redesigned.

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 next season….currently nothing in the quiver in this slot since I sold the un-skied K108s.

The MB is probably more in line with what I like vs the K108. Easier to ski, and a more reasonable mount point. I’d probably go +1cm (-8.75cm) due to my short bsl on the 179cm MB vs. +1cm (-10.3cm) on 177cm K108.

This year’s MB108 only $489CDN at Corbett’s.

Welcome to the Mindbender fanboi club

I had to mount my Pivots at +1 due to hole conflicts. They feel pretty good there - they turn a bit more quickly and I think a bit more tail helps with landing jumps. Otherwise pretty similar to before.

That's a crazy steal with the currently strong USD...!

Intel from the K2 folks - dont mount much outside of +1.5-ish as you'll be outside of the cambered area which will throw off how the ski performs

[robnow]

Has anybody got on the new 108? Shape and mount look point look pretty ideal, flexes nice, albeit slightly soft in the tip.

Bump, any experience with the 23 116c? Looking for a fun pow ski that will still charge through the chop once it's skied up. Found a good deal on these and have heard good things about the mindbender lineup.

I don't believe the bender 116C is what you're looking for. Heard it gets knocked around quite a bit since its fairly light so you'd need to dial it back quite a bit.

Maybe a Rustler 11 or something a little heavier would fill the niche of a more traditionally mounted pow ski. Blade Optic 114? - It's got a mount point around -7cm?

Yeah, interestingly the MB 116 is quite a bit lighter than the MB 108ti (which I have and like a lot). Been looking for something to replace my black version Pinnacle 118, which is 2300+ grams and great for float and busting chop, but the MB 116 just doesn't seem to fit the bill, at least on paper.

Not sure about the Rustler 11, that barely weighs more than the MB 116.

Maybe QST 118?

This is the ski I couldn’t find. Working with Marshal, but nothing finalized.

R11 isn’t it for me.
