Pre Order Information

We are excited to offer a number of products for the upcoming Winter for Pre-Order, the best way to lock in your new toys and ensure you don't miss out.

Payment Policy

Your payment will be taken in full upon placing the Order.

The Pre-Order is cancelable & fully refundable at any time for any reason up until the time the products arrive in the shop, from that date the standard 30 day return policy begins. 

Ordering Process

Products that show as Pre-Order will be available to purchase via the Pre-Order Button.

If a product is tagged Pre-Order and is showing out of stock, it is either sold out already or Pre-Order details are yet to be confirmed - we will not enable Pre-Order on a product until we have a comfortable level of security about arrival time.

When your Pre-Ordered products arrive, we will contact you to confirm shipping or pickup details. Your Order won't be shipped without this confirmation to ensure we don't ship to an unattended address. At this time we will also double check any mounting or package information.

To build a package with your Pre Order skis you can place it all in the cart at the time of purchase, this will automatically give you appropriate discounts and secure stock. If the bindings or skins you are looking for are not yet available, please notify us and we can build the package for you and send through a pre-filled cart.

If you order products that are both In-Stock and available for Pre-Order in the same order, they will be held and shipped with the Pre-Order. If you want In-stock items to be sent immediately please place them in a separate order.

These dates are estimates, and given the potential disruptions to logistics and shipping times from international warehouses to us, there is always the possibility that there will be last minute delays that we cannot control.

In cases of delays, we pledge to be up front and transparent to keep you up to date with the latest information about the timing of your order. If any delays don't meet your expectations in regards to timing we can easily swap into another product or cancel the order, no questions asked.

Description

The Mindbender 96 is a versatile all-mountain ski for those who travel. 96mm waist may be a touch wide for the typical Australian conditions, but the 96 is solid enough to deal with all but the iciest of icy conditions. 

New updates in the Mindbender series are all focused on controlling how the skis deal with vibrations. K2's are known for being quite smooth and intuitive rides, but the new Dark Matter Damping takes this to all new levels. By placing targeted mass in the mid tip and mid tail of the ski, the skis smooth out bumps and make for an easy and calm ride in all conditions.

Who’s it for?

The Mindbender 96 has a lot of potential customers due to its versatility. It is an excellent option for a one ski quiver for both Australian and Overseas conditions. It is no slouch on piste whilst having the width and a moderate amount of tip and tail rocker to deal with off piste conditions.

Why we love it?

The Mindbender 96 C is one of the contenders for best ski to ski in any condition. Its a true jack of all trades.
