Reckoner 185s or Revolt 188s (length)

Can't figure out what makes more sense-- 185 or 188 in length; I'm approximately 185lbs and 6'2. Ski aggressive, all mountain including some park. I'm worried I won't like the Revolts if they are too long at 188. I've never skiied anything over 186 in length. I enjoy bump skiing as much as sending cliffs, but I'm no expert, and I think I could have a hard time with the Revolts?

I think you should just get whichever ski you prefer Bc of the geometry. The 3cm in length won’t make that big of a difference

I would be willing to bet the reckoners actually measure longer. In my experience k2s tend to measure longer than volkls

Bro just get the reckoner 122s in a 191 like me. I’m only 5’11 too haha. They pivot more than you think they would for the length. Rocker profile is crazy on em.

K2 measure true to length now, the Revolts will all be 2cm shorter than stated length

I’m 5’11 and 190 and my daily is 187…. Don’t overthink it. If you like to spin, go slightly shorter. If you like to ski hard and fast, drop cliffs and stuff go longer.
