so im 177cm (5ft10cm) and 75kg (165lbs) . prolly gonna cop 112 reckoners. i currently have a volkl revolt 95 for park and a line sfb 176 for playful allmountain. looking for a charge-y powderski but i dont want something fully directional so reckoner 112 seems like a good choice. im an intermediate skier id say. should i go for 177cm or 184? are they flexible? if they are i think 184 will be better for charging and cliffs but is it gonna be hard for me to maneuver? thanks.

I had reckoner 102s at 184 and they were amazing.. that’s what I would suggest

my second suggestion would be to consider the actual stability of the skis. Unless you plan on sending them back to k2 after a few months for the eventual break of the skis… I would highly consider something else.

I broke my 102s after about 4 days on hill with only hitting rails for like less than a half a day, they were insanely fun but blew up wayy to easy.

get the 184, especially since you have the 176 bacon

184 I guess if you’re set on them but you should shop around more.

I have 191s? Or whatever and they are more towards the playful soft vs chargy. Fun in powder but got bucked around a bit in the choppy stuff.

A secondhand pair of wider jeffereys will serve you well

You probably want the 184 but the 122 width 177 length version from 2021 is only $299 CAD at Corbets... that's like $225 USD...https://www.corbetts.com/2021-k2-reckoner-122-skis/
Not bad?

The wReckoners have truly earned their name. Brittlest ski in the market atm. Please do yourself a favor and buy something else.

I know you hate these skis but is there any evidence of the 112 or 122 blowing up like the 102?

Note: I own the 102 and agree with you on the durability. I don't really ski rails at all so I have ~25 days with no edge or major base damage but lots of topsheet chipping and minor delamination. They have some g-flex on 'em.

Anecdotal but I've heard of the 112 blowing up as well and seems like the whole line shares the same construction.

Yes. Very similar stories, not that often as from the 102 but that's likely just the market share between them.

The 102 has the reputation because people use it in the park. If you’re not hammering the 112 around on rails it’ll last you just fine, the fucking head of graphic design dailys the 112 and if he can vouch for it that’s good enough for me
