Has anyone got them, How are they?, i was thinking of getting a pair over the chronics. I've never had center mount and i want to know, is it really that hard or different using a center mount everywhere else on the mountain. I feel like it wouldn't be. I'd probably use them to do tricks on stuff outside the park too, in addition to all mountain stuff. I was thinking 161.
I'm like 5'6" and 120lbs.

I think they come in 169, not 161. Anyway, I just got a pair and they're pretty sick. I have no ridden them yet, so I can't really say much past the graphics. I can however, tell you that riding a center mounted ski is pretty fun. I find the ski has more pop and is much easier to maneuver quickly. It shouldn't at all effect your ability to ride elsewhere on the mountain, the only time it kinda sucks is when you're riding pow, specially with that slim 85mm waist. I wouldn't worry at all about switching from a normal to center mounting position, you will get used to it in a day or two.

They come in 159 too, but if you're a strong skier I would probably go with the 169

I've ridden them.  Fun as hell.  center mounted is a little more spin friendly.  you won't be dissapointed if you get them, they're very fun, they really aren't all that bad in pow unless you get them real short.  I'm 5'8" and rode the 179's and i have 178 invaders centermounted.  I'd go with 169 minimum IMO

the disorderly looks like a fun ski probly similar to the invader
its really not that hard to ski on a center-mounted ski you will get use to it
i was skeptical at first about center-mounting too but once you get er done its awesome

yeah, i meant 159. I figured i get used to the center mount. I still think i'd get the 15 since i like it slightly shorter, but i will take a look at the 169. Since i'm on the east coast i think they should work good. How stiff are they?

the flex is close to the invader, a little stiffer though, but I wouldn't consider it a stiff ski by any means

except they are different
Disorderly- Sandwich construction (durable, but heavy, holds camber longer)
Invader- Cap Construction ( lighter, less durable, loses camber easier)

My brother has the invaders, and i have the disorderlys, we are the same height and weight practically as well. This is what i have noticed.

K2 Disorderly: Seems to be really durable, a little bit stiffer than the invader, but like said before, not a stiff ski at all. lots of pop. good for butters, will last a long time for sure.

Line Invaders: Fatty edge, i guess, a bit more soft, not by a whole lot tho. Also a little bit light then the disorderly as well. Not a huge difference in weight, but you can kinda tell.

Overall both pretty nice skis, i guess it matters on your budget. ( in my case i got the disorderlys for free because the ski shop fucked over my fujatives.) Best of luck, both really nice skis!

If you're going to center mount them i'd go 169, when mounted center they swing MUCH easier and are really responsive even though they will be slightly longer

169 for sure.  If you plan to put on some weight i'd go 179.  I'm about 5'7"ish and ride 179's.  but then again i'm about 45 lbs heavier than you.  69696969696969696969

yeah, k2 measures differently. i put my disordlerys up to my old fujatives, they are both 169 but the disorderlys were like 5 - 6 cm taller.

^ this doesnt sound right
K2 makes both of those skis and I know they haven't changed their ways of measuring over the past few years.  My 179 Ak's are nearly the same length as my buddies 183 gotamas...
