K2 reckoner 102

[Temetius]

I’m a liftie and see reckoners every day, some of the og ones too. See more blown out lines every day. Need proof of my reckoners and rail hits or willing to admit not every reckoner is built like ass

this is so weird. The wReckoners explode left & right, most of the time within just a few weeks of riding, with very similar stories from across the globe. Yet here we have two rail skiers telling the complete opposite.

So ig rn I’m debating between the rec 102 and revolt 104 which one u guys think is best for what I’m doing. Rails,butters,jumps, all mountain, and occasional powder.

Litteraly had this same debate with myself about a month ago, went with the reckoners cause the revolts seemed a LOT more stiff in person. Just get the reckoners i havnt found a single thing on the mtn that i cant happily rip up. Little bit of edge damage but thats from me clapping my skis together on the lift. Reckoners and youll be skiing with a smile for the next couple season

It is common that bad news come out more often than good. Also possible that the quality isn’t as constant as it should. Mine are 2020 models if it matters.

I've got zero reasons to question your wReckoners durability. I had the worst experience with them and I certainly aren't alone on this boat. Building a ski is a complex process with many steps that can go wrong. My opinion is still this: the k2 reckoner 102 is way too often a topic of discussion when it comes to bad quality skis. Much like the Faction Candides in their time.

Mine were 2021.

You probably dont value my opinions then because I own reckoners and candides lol. Both without problems tho

 

[tominiemenmaa]

That's probably my decision to make.

But you think the reckoners are good quality skis even if the public opinion is against it and at the same time you agree the candides were sub-par, just like everyone else? You have all the rights to have opinions, I'm just trying to understand them

Candides were and are not the best built skis, neither are the reckoners, but a ski doesnt have to be very good quality to not blow up in a week. Just trying to say not every pair will blow up even in a season or two. Still definately not a bomb proof ski. Hope that clears it up a bit
