No more Legend, no more 5 point, totally new. Think Pro Rider for the MPro, Proto for the MFree as far as shape. MTour is same as MPro, just lighter.

Radius

MPro 99 186-22m, MPro 90 186-20m

MFree 108 192- 20m

Smaller radius for the smaller lengths, obviously.
 
Has anyone seen if the Menace line is being changed/continued at all? Love my Menace 98 but a more modern tip design/shape and lighter swing weight would definitely improve them.

Have never actually seen sizing or dimension/radius etc specs on any of the K2 Reckoner line and would love any details!

it will be interesting if they build it on a different platform, ik it costs alot to make a new mold but maybe more of a touring based boot and not so much a hybrid

From what I've been told, Menace 98 and Menace Proto aren't being changed, apart from names and graphics.

Yeah I was hoping for a touring version of the regular shell but doesn't sound like that is gonna happen yet.

Menace line is becoming the MFree line from my understanding. Not sure what happens to Menace 98 but there will be the MFree 108 and 118 (which is the Proto).

Unclear on more details than that.

Honestly, the Menace 98 probably isn’t going to change. It might be up with the oldest shapes in skiing. Menace 98, Slicer Factory, Slicer, etc. I don’t think Dynastar has changed it in a decade.

Yep, that mold was paid for about 7 plus years ago! Lol

Would be a perfect ski for me if they just redid the tips/tails similar to their more current skis. A bit of taper(but not much so they still grip great), smoother-less abrupt curves up to the tip/tail and use less ABS in the tips/tails to lighten them up. Maybe reduce the turning radius a few metres too so they are more fun at lower speeds.

Also if they made them larger than a 182 or whatever they are.

They go to 187cm(measures 184.5cm) which is what I have. Not the lightest swing weight so longer lengths would be a lot of work I think until you lighten up those tip/tails. My 186cm Enforcer 104 are actually a touch heavier but feel lighter with their reduced swing weight.

The insanely low cuff height of the FT Evolution/Touring shell completely takes it out of play. These look dope tho.

What's stopping FT from making a touring boot with their classic or soul shell? Minus the 'buckles' with ladders that still hang on cables, Construction-wise it's pretty much the same as the Evolution, is it not?

Anyone have updates on Icelantic line up? Saw Julian Carr riding on something new and just wondering what that was?

New sizes for nomad series. 176/186.

nomad 125 going away, being replaced by a new pow ski designed by the team, forget the name at the moment.

That’s just a limited graphic they did this year for their usual retail employee sales incentive.

Correct. Those are a limited colorway that are currently available. Those are not the 2020 boots.

Good to know! Had that picture sent to me by a buddy of mine with that description. He must be mistaken!

Long story short: there is no good way to fit tech inserts into the boot without a boarder line entire redesigned lower and molds.

It would require a ton of effort and cost which historically haven’t been part of the K2 Sports business model for the brand.
 
Any word on what's shaking up for ON3P's freestyle update this year? New Jeffrey and Magnus design updates? Finally dropping the Saint Lucas?

good to know that there are gay enough boot fitters out there forcing us into k2's so they can get colored boots.
