K2 reckoner durability

I had the first reckoner 102s that came out. They lasted 2 seasons and look rough today but work as street skis very well. They arent the most beefy ski out there but lasted 2 seasons of mostly rails kinda fine

Top sheets chip easily and delaminate but can be repaired effectively with West Systems G Flex Epoxy. Bases and edges seem pretty strong. I know a bunch of people have snapped them or collapsed sidewalls and stuff. Be sure to detune heavily to prolong edge life.

Bought mine February -21 and last season I only skied like a month before destroying my acl. The sidewall and edge is now totally wrecked under boot. Other than that, perfect condition. Do kinda alot rails and I’m a heavy rider. Also thinking that maybe wider skis break easier on rails because of the force/leverage of the wide base when landing on edges first to the rail?

Now about to buy new skis and thinking if I should go for poacher? Still keened on wider skis though and revolt 104 is also interesting. Can anyone compare durability between poacher, revolt 104 and reckoner 102?

189wetsLooking to get some 23 reckoner 102s. Got a good price on them, just waiting to pull the trigger. Are they going to last me even if I ski majority park? And does anyone know whether the new ones are being reconstructed and whether I should wait for those instead?

While I’ve seen a few people who have been able to have their 102’s last.. myself and many others have had bad experiences.



i bought a pair of reckoners last season and had a ton of fun on them, easily one of my favorite skis ever made. However, after 2 weeks of mellow park skiing, they delaminated really, really bad. I was able to get them warranties and the same thing happened, twice.

IMO I would stay away, even with a good deal, Is it worth it to only have them for a season?

if they lasted you that long you ski like a bitch reckoners are meant to last a week
