Specs & what they mean

What the Mindbender 96C's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 16.0-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on an aspen veneer, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,630 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 96 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
