K2 Reckoner 102 112 122 Thread

[Shorty_J]

^^^ good info... Thanks.

I think the more symmetrical shape is not my jam... Which would be backed up by my desire to mount -1cm .

The build I am a fan of, however... Definitely notice the pop.

I got to hand flex the KF114 and Reckoner 110 today. The 114 has less camber than the other reckoners by several mm. It didn't feel stiffer than my 122s, but I think there's less of a hinge at the tips and tails. I was talking to the K2 guy and he said it's not charger, Karl wanted something "bouncy" for popping off of stuff, and something that gives back a lot of energy out of turns. He said if I was looking for something "chargy-er" than the other reckoners, the KF ain't it.

The 110 flex felt similar to the other reckoners, softer tips and tails, pretty stiff underfoot.

I have last years 112 and the new 110. I can say the shape and rocker is significantly different. Tail has much more rise and much less taper in the 110. Kinda miss the flatter tail and more tapered shape in the 112.

Only reason I got the 110 was I ripped the edge out of my 112

So if anyone has a 184 112 of any year kicking around let me known

Just bought some 191 Reckoner 122’s from the last Hunt for $315 CAD with tax and free shipping. They have a few 191’s and 184’s left if someone is looking to fill a fat ski void. Free shipping to the US as well. Make sure you apply their 20FOR200 promo to get the extra 20% off.

Damn that’s good. About to pull the trigger even though I really want [emoji637][emoji637][emoji638]s but torn between [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji640] and [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji637]. I’m [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]lbs, just under [emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]’. Ski hard and quick but not rocket speed anymore. All my skis are [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]-[emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]] except for an old pair of fully rockered whitedot powder skis in [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji637]. But I mostly ski colorado trees and tech steeps - not many open powder fields. Have to go into the tight stuff to get the goods usually. So maybe [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji640]?

Thoughts?

Ah fuck. Screwed by the app. Long story short: I’m six feet tall and one eighty five and all my skis are eighty six to eight seven ish long.

Trying to choose between the eighty fours and the ninety ones. In Colorado I’m usually in tight or tech stuff to get the powder. Not big open fields. So quick is important.

Which length do we think? I ski hard and tech but not sixty mph powder rips at this point.

Aaannnnnddd maybe never mind. Website seems to only allow shipping to Canada, not to US

You could probably do either length, but if you want quick/maneuverable, I'm thinking the shorter one is your huckleberry. FYI, the 184 is all of 184cm, and longer than my old "186" renegades. I'm 6' 160 on the 184. If you read further back in this thread, I think JRainey got on both lengths (or at least the longer one...) and had some comments, and I think he's around the same size.

[altacoup]

I’ve ordered from thelasthunt before and they shipped to the usa but I’m getting the same thing on the website that they’ll only ship to Canada.

cart says they only ship to Canada. No USA

I haven't skied the 184 122, but have the BC120 in 184 and think they are pretty similar.

I found the 191 just too stiff to be "fun" like I like them. I like a ski that flexes in the middle. Planky at 190lbs. Still maneuverable in the tight stuff, just not really "fun". I did have one like pillow run where the snow was deep enough for me to roll up onto the tails, and then I felt some flexy goodness. Otherwise it was too stable.

They were great at straight lining. I just got lazy and straightlined many things. Turning just seemed unnecessary. I really wanted longer for high alpine, deep snow conditions so I could pop off fresh takeoffs without loosing speed. But I just ended up fall line blasting over all my crosscourt jumps.

Now I'm happily on the BO118, which are beasts but quite flexy in the middle.

I do wanna try the Krazy Karls in a 190, they could be the soft 190 I'm looking for.

I’m exactly your size and have the 184s. Never once wished I went longer, even though I’m happiest on skis slightly longer than that generally.

[TrueNorth]

I have new/undrilled Reckoner 122 177cm (the green ones, whatever year that was) that I would sell for $250 USD shipped. Coming to my senses and thinking they won't get much use here in Eastern Canada...

[forumskier]

I have been looking over all the new skis from the mainstream brands lately. Out of all of them, the ones I want most are the Reckoner 124s.

[CurtisBlow]

Son is freshman U of Utah first season in the mountains; very intermediate Midwest skier. We are looking at the Reckoner 102 184cm for his everyday ski. He’s 6’6”. Any input on the ski choice or size would be greatly appreciated.

[carterhudson]

Going off the 122 talk, I’ve decided I don’t really have a need for the 122’s I just bought from the last hunt the other week. Definitely just folded when I saw I could get them for $315 all in. I’m located in Calgary, but would sell for $350 CAD shipped ($250 USD) for my pair of 191’s. Also have STH2 16’s I could maybe throw in for an extra $65 CAD.

Does anyone know the main differences between the K2 reckoner 122 and Volkl revolt 121?

[Crystal Skier]

Does anyone know the main differences between the K2 reckoner 122 and Volkl revolt 121?

Very much personal preference I have skied both in maritime PNW pow. Some love the Reck 122 … for me it was not a keeper just too soft and floppy through runouts. Hoping the new K2 replacement is much better. Have an idea it and the Line TW 122 are both much better. Have owned Revolts and it is in a completely different league than the 122 Reckoner. Immediately felt more confidence and just dial a pow turn with some built in backbone and a more weight for runouts. Revolt 121 is soft too just not a noodle. I am missing my Revolts as a go to big day ski but my BO/Sender 118’s will suffice until a good buy on the 2025 Revolt comes along. I am not anti K2 at all and have some serious overlap issues haha with Reckoner 110’s and KF’s both in the longer length …for science sake right..?.. in reality a guy could buy a Revolt 121 and call it good in terms of a pow ski for a very long time.

Ended up getting some 184cm 122s. Hand flex in the garage confirms that they are very soft.

I think there's a strong argument for having at least two pairs of powder skis in the quiver, a pair to charge on and a pair to mess around on.

n+1 amirite?

Speaking of n+[emoji637] my pair of [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji637] KF’s are on the market as my gluttonous appetite for new shiny things outweighs any common sense I have left. New un drilled if there’s any interest pm me. Thinking [emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]] shipped.

Stoked to be skiing the Reckoner [emoji637][emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]]’s tomorrow. Good stretch of weather finally going to boost conditions in the PNW.

can’t resist riding these 191 KF’s … I just gotta know ya know. A lil more substantial in the forebody with a hand flex and tail is softer than the front…so in a month or two I’ll have a reasonable view of differences between the 110’s same length snd the Previous 184 KF I rode last winter.

6 posts in 12 years deserves an answer.

Keep in mind I haven't been on Reckoners yet so this is more of a general response (though I am shopping for some.) College skis of choice at UofU seems to be ON3P (Jeffs and Woods), Reckoners, Bents, some Optics now and then, that kind of thing. The ski scene at the U is very much like fraternities/sororities elsewhere - lots of trying to have the right gear and the right look. Reckoners would fit right in.

There is a wide variety of skill levels there. Lots of intermediates to ski with, and a ski like a Reck 102 should be forgiving enough for him to do well on, but capable enough for him to still use as he improves. And he will improve if he skis frequently there. He'll improve a lot. There be lots of folks to push him to new levels, skilled skiers to chase.

And the skill level there can be off off the charts. I've skied with a handful of students there that are damn near FWT worthy but don't even think of competing - just ski 80 days a year and do so with unreal skill. And they ski in these little groups of ever changing regulars that unthinkingly push each other to absurd heights.

102 is a nice width that will work for everyday and still not be awful when there is fresh snow. 112 is a bit too wide for that IMO. My daughter is at UofU and her DD is a 108 Jessie (women's Jeff). But she also has some narrower skis for just ripping on. My son's daily for SLC is a 102 Folsom but he also has a bunch of other skis including wider. FWIW, his regular posse includes some pros your son probably knows, and he is shopping for Reckoners right now too, so there's an endorsement for that ski in those mountains. So I think 102s for daily drivers will be good for your son.

But keep in mind this is TGR, and if your kid doesn't have about 4 pairs of skis by the time he graduates, he's doing something wrong.

Hope that helps.
