Burton Free Thinker vs K2 Mindbender 99 Ti

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Burton Free Thinker leans more freestyle. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Burton Free Thinker has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the K2 Mindbender 99 Ti uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Burton Free Thinker targets expert riders while the K2 Mindbender 99 Ti is aimed at advanced riders.
