2027 K2 Reckoner 110

The 2027 K2 Reckoner 110 is a carryover model with the same shape, construction, and graphics as last year. With the 102 holding it down on the narrow side and the KF pro model taking the mid-110's, the 110 takes the mid-fat spot in the Reckoner line and makes it its own. While the KF features more carbon and a stiffer response, this 110 adheres to the older ways—loose and fun in any type of snow. Additionally, this ski opposes the 102 which is more park and freestyle focused. The 110 has a lot of freeride creativity involved, making it that ideal mix of trick time and big-mountain charging. Skiers who like a mobile, easy to steer ski that has good flex and a round shape will love this 110. They feel sturdy and composed despite the more flexible nature.

K2 isn’t scared of making some heftier skis in the twin tip world. We’re built with an aspen wood core to maximize fun and smoothness. In the tips and tails, we see an additional laminate to keep them more grounded and the center of the ski more playful. This plays off the carbon boost stringers and the carbon spectral braid that allow the engineers at K2 to put stiffness in certain areas to create this freeride effect. The sidewalls are thicker and more encompassing than before in the older 112, bringing a bit more usefulness to the ends of the skis. It still manages to be light feeling and agile, much to the delight of creative and playful skiers. Tester Bob St.Pierre notes that “This ski loves to go sideways, bend dramatically, and stay on top of any type of snow. It's incredibly fun but it also has a sturdy and confident feel to it. While flexible, it's not a featherweight ski--this thing has some strength and weight to it for sure which adds to the poised feel. This is a powder specialist which really wants to be used in a creative format.”

These skis have a lot of freestyle influence to them in terms of shape and style. The 110 features measurements of 138/110/135 mm. This slight drop of only 3 mm in the tip to tail taper indicates a round turning style. With the mid-range mount point, this central character is boosted. We get a gradual rise in this ski, as opposed to the high-rise tips and tails of the wider Reckoners. This keeps the ski somewhat grounded when it comes to maneuvering through deep snow, adding to the versatility and well-rounded nature of the ski. The rounded and fun-loving taper shape also keeps the ski out of the snow, making it an amazing choice for blending deep and chunky conditions. Bob continues to state that “While it feels like it wants deep snow, it's also just a lot of fun to get it up on edge and rip a big carved turn. Don't expect a lot of quickness in this application. Due to the width, flex, and weight, I think this is an expert-level ski. If you don't know how to corral it, then it's going to take you for a ride. I'm not a Reckoner 110 skier on paper but on snow I really like this thing.”

Despite the heft and weight, this is a very fun and playful ski. Skiers who are looking to make their way into the freeride twin tip world will get a kick out of this 110. You don’t have to be an expert to enjoy the mobility and flotation. This will make a great choice for progressing skiers looking for their first freeride ski. None of our testers have ever found this ski to be too soft or too loose. This means that the range is better than expected, making it a great choice for a variety of thrill seekers. They are more torsionally stiff than you may expect, so while the flex feels loose, the on-snow performance is quite different.
