If your mind is ready to bend and accept the boot revolution, the K2 Mindbender 130 BOA is ready to bring you into the future. The Mindbender series has always been leading the charge in the ski boot industry. K2's Powerlite shell constructions and Powerlock Spyne walk/ski mode bar navigate the tricky balance of efficiency for uphill travel and downhill performance like a seasoned slackliner. They push the charge further this year by incorporating the new H+i1 BOA system into the Mindbender series. By eliminating the use of buckles, the BOA system allows you to get a more snug fit around the forefront of the foot without adding the hot spots and pressure points that come with tight buckles. The BOA allows you to truly dial in the fit (pun intended) with adjustments smaller than a millimeter both forward and back. Perfect for backcountry riding, when you might want a looser fit for walking uphill, then a quick tighten before dropping into your line. A true 50/50 boot, the K2 Mindbender 130 is just as happy shredding the resort as it is exploring the backcountry. The addition of the BOA system adds ease of use and increases the quality of fit, without needing to do extensive boot customization. That means better comfort, better power transfer, and better skiing. We're on board the BOA train, come along for the ride.
