The read

Designed for intermediate to advanced women skiers who want all-mountain versatility with a freeride lean, this ski sits notably narrower than most freeride skis in the catalog. Its titanal Y-beam construction balances stability and damping with some maneuverability, while tip rocker and camber underfoot aid initiation and grip. A short turn radius points toward quick, nimble arcs on groomed terrain and mixed conditions.

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 13.1-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 1,756 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.

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.
