23/24 Gear Rumors

FYI on the k2. I got a buckles pair, but after trying for shell fit with my fitter, it was too big. 2+ finger vs 1 finger fit in same same mondo lange. Looking at the heel pockets they were visibly different, with the k2 looking larger/wider (yet well shaped). Can’t comment on how the boa version might fit differently or not.
Now unfortunately I’m returning them and back in a new pair of langes again.

The K2 seemed like a really nice boot though, and the pin inserts are pretty appealing.

Not arguing with you just another data point. (25.5s)
The k2’s have a shorter length vs RS140 for me but a slightly wider heel/ankle and toebox.

I’d say try on a pair if you can Gaijin

Weird. I’m on the other end of the range at 29.5.
Yeah… try them on.

This was my experience as well. Heel and ankle especially feel roomier in the K2.

Not sure how much these skis vibe with the tgr crowd, but pretty interested to try the nightstick 104 out. Already have the 97.

Love to see the discussion about tech toe fixed cuff boots. This is our Recon 140 BOA for next season. We included the new Intuition ProWrap BOA liner too. As has been said the fit was based on the Lange RX originally but we did make some changes mainly to try to improve how anatomical it is but like any boot it wont fit everyone. I know there are at least 2 tech toe fixed boots coming so Im excited to see this segment grow. If any one has any F24 K2 questions let me know.

how much will the liner be and when can I order it?

Not exactly sure on what the sales team did for pricing but you should be able to order from k2 dealers or from our website in the fall.

Pls put my name on the list for those who want that boot, but in a 120 flex. Please and thank you.

Funnily I originally had it planned as a 120 but was constantly told to go stiffer but I still think a 120 with a power plate and tech toe would be rad!

Search sucks.

Anyone know when the new Ruben-influenced Atomic Backland 109 will be available at retail? Located in Alberta, if that factors in...

Thank you

The main changes were mainly to the medial side where we added a “bode” punch which is basically just a little more space for the cuneiform. It’s a pretty common punch so we just added some shape here. We also widened the toe box slightly and gave it a more asymmetrical fit as that’s what feet actually look like. This change is what I think makes people think the boots fit long as the foot actually fits to the end of the shell better. Other than that though it’s really pretty similar.

Is the fit you described just for next year's boot or does it apply to a current model?

is the shape the same between the recon 130 and 140 boa?

The fit did not change from buckle to boa so yes those fit features can be found on the current models.

[tompietrowski]

Yeah for the most part fit will always be the same for the same boot in different flex’s as the mold stays the same for all models. Generally the stiffer flex boots will get a higher quality, stiffer liner which can make them feel a little different but the shell will nearly always be the same.

[GoldenBC]

Recon LV and Mindbender are the same fit correct?

Recon and mindbender use the same shell dimensions yes.

M-Pro with more tail rocker seems interesting

[OttoP]

4frnt and Hoji are teasing an upcoming fourth model to the Hjorleifson ski family on instagram. Any predictions or beta on which type of an addition to the Raven/Hoji/Renegade it's going to be? From the few obscure pictures it looks maybe to be a bit skinnier than the Raven, so a real spring mission ski maybe?

[funkendrenchman]

Any info on the flex of the Backland 102/101? Saw a Blister post mentioning its stiffer than the 107. Looking for a moderate flexing ski for my wife (101w).

And mellower tip. Still a bit of a banana but the 100 looks like a nice ski.

Looks to be a cambered all-mountain ski around 100 underfoot
