Mindbender 130 2022

The Mindbender 130 are men's freeride/ free ski touring boots from K2 .

Mindbender range

The Mindbender range has been designed targeting several major points: lightness, dynamism and fit customisation to meet the demands of freeriders, who are more and more fond of wide open spaces and therefore of hiking to the summit with skis on their backs.
To achieve this, K2 has developed the Powerlite Shell, which is based on the principle of incorporating reinforcements in the sensitive and strategic areas of the boot, while paring back the less essential parts. This seems to be the basic design premise, but it's also a task requiring craftsmanship that the American brand has achieved with the use of 4 different densities of TPU. All this offers a perfect balance between agility, power and lightness, which allows for easy climbs and all the support you expect from a freeride shoe on a descent.

Mindbenders obviously have low-tech inserts for touring bindings, although they are perfectly suited for alpine bindings. They also have a 50° travel giving you an extremely natural walk, whether you're on flat terrain or in a steep area. The GripWalk soles are also perfectly adapted since their curved "rocker" shape allows for easy walking, and the grip is adapted to technical terrain.

In addition to the weight, there are many innovations in the shoes in the range. The Fastfit Instep cushions the top part of the liner to offer an easy fitting. Struggling to get into your boots on a cold February morning will be a thing of the past! 

And as you can never have too much good news, the Powerlite shell and Precisionfit Pro Tour integrated liners are totally thermosettable, so you can perfectly customise your boots. A custom fit to cocoon your precious feet! The liners are made from high-quality Ultralon foam and have asymmetrical tongues for a more ergonomic fit.

Mindbender 90:

This 130 version is the flagship of the range. In fact, with its 45mm Ripcord Power Cinch webbing and 130 rigid flex, there's no doubt that you're in possession of a racing beast.
The integrated PrecisionFit Pro Tour liner is also the most advanced one of the brand: 100% thermoformable, the high density Ultralon foam ensures maximum durability and unrivalled support, even at speed!

Simply put, this Mindbender 130 are designed for light, experienced or expert freeriders who want innovative, durable and high-performance equipment.
