Greg_KFrom the TGR thread-New Dynastar MFree 108 and 118 freeride twin tips on the left. MPro line on the right replacing the Legend line.
More from TGR for those who don't want to sift through the dentistry:
MFree line will be based on the current Proto; heavy, twin, big radius, Richard Permin designed freestyle charger. There'll be a 108 (172,182,192) and 118 (180,189). Very excited to try the 108's.

and on top of all that, they actually look cool!
only qualm — I already wish there was a ~187 cm 108.

Lol at the dentistry comment! Haha
Was kinda disappointed there was no 185-188cm MFree as 182 is kinda short and 192 too long. Still want to try it, the Revolt 104 and the Reckoning models out!
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!

CatdickBojanglesFull Tilt rep mentioned a new touring boot coming from them be interesting to see what it looks like.
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).
.MASSHOLE.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.
FapMasterFLEXThe 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?

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.
