Reckoner 102 | 2025

The Reckoner 102 was a hit among testers, offering a more playful experience than many other skis in its class. Although it might not be the right fit for more traditional, directional skiers, its unique characteristics make it an excellent choice for creative shredders who view every run as a chance to show off their bag of tricks.
When it comes to powder performance, the Reckoner 102 is remarkably impressive despite its modest waist width. Slashing short, bouncy turns feels effortless, with the ski’s fat and soft tips smoothly flexing with each turn. Utilizing K2’s Spectral Braid, a fishnet carbon fiber weave, the Reckoner 102 serves up a poppy and playful ride in the tips and tails, while maintaining stability underfoot.
The Reckoner 102 holds its own on groomers, offering a nice blend of carving performance and maneuverability. The soft and durable construction remains surprisingly stable, providing a predictable ride even when pushing the speedometer. In tighter terrain, like moguls and trees, the ski brings versatility, offering great maneuverability without sacrificing stability. While it may feel less at home in firm crud, the forgiving nature and predictable behavior will encourage you to push the limit.
K2’s Aspen Micro Block core is a midweight core that provides a damp and smooth feel on snow. Pop and rebound are added by wrapping it in K2’s patented fiberglass Triaxial Braid, with longitudinal carbon stringers woven into the mix.
Overall, the Reckoner 102 brings a playful experience across a wide range of conditions, making it a stellar choice for creative fun-hogs. Whether rallying side hits, buttering over groomed rolls or ripping it switch, it proves to be a versatile sidekick that keeps K2’s playful reputation intact.
