The read

The Mindbender 89Ti targets intermediate to advanced skiers seeking all-mountain versatility with a frontside-leaning bias, sitting notably narrower than most freeride skis in the catalog. Its titanal Y-beam construction balances damping and stability with some maneuverability, while tip rocker and a medium 16.6 m radius support versatile, accessible turn shapes across groomed and variable terrain. The aspen core keeps the ski lively, and the overall package suits an engaged skier who wants carving precision with occasional off-piste capability.

Specs & what they mean

What the Mindbender 89Ti's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 16.6-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper loosens turn entry and lets the shovel pivot and smear when you want it looser.

Stability & dampness

A Y-shaped titanal beam runs through the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 2,003 g there's real mass behind it.

Float & width

At 89 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
