First year of BOA boots! Models equipped with BOA appear one after another from K2
The 2023-24 season will be dominated by the "BOA boots". Each company has a lineup of models equipped with BOA in their existing series collections one after another, and K2 is also added to the popular series.
MINDBENDER 130 BOA
SIZE: 24.5-30.5cm
WEIGHT: 1,745g (26.5cm)
FLEX: 130
LAST: 97-100 (MultiFIT Last)
¥132,000
Flex 130 and 120 models equipped with BOA have appeared in the all-mountain model MINDBENDER. The advantage of the BOA system is that the 1st and 2nd buckles are wires, eliminating sudden tightening of the ankle and instep. You can adjust each dial individually, so you can get the tightness you like. Like the previous model, you can switch to walk mode with one touch, and the ease of walking is outstanding with a 50 ° range of motion, making it a model that combines both slip and ease of walking.
Models other than the above equipped with BOA are ANTHEM series 115/105/95, RECON 130/120/110, and MINDBENDER W 115/95, a total of 10 models. There are also conventional buckle type models, so choose the one that suits your taste.
"Mindbender 106C" is perfect for powder boards that are light and not too thick
Until now, many models with a waist width of 100 or more have metal inserts, but this time, "Mindbender 106C" is newly introduced. The carbon is in a cross shape, and while it produces a firm torsion, the flex is soft. The board itself is very light, and even if you are not confident in your leg strength, you can ride it with confidence. Recommended for those who say, "Waist 110 is a little thick... but I want a board that can be used in powder!"

If you unravel the history of free skiing, you will almost certainly arrive here. Beginning with the hip guru of moguls, Glenn Plake, Seth Morrison, Kent Kreitler, Shane McConkey, and other big name big mountain riders who lead the era have been using it. K2 has taken the world of free skiing by storm with them, who had been rampaging in MSP and TGR's major ski movies, and has gained tremendous support.
The now-defunct Shane McConkie announced the Pontoon, the pioneer of full-lockers at the time. He develops a diverse lineup in a wide range of genres, actively collaborates with artists, and has many unique and individual models. It supports all kinds of riding from big mountain to backcountry and park riding. There are also plenty of models for women.
