Am I an idiot? Why are there 1 set of top sheets & 2 sets of bases?

[jacob_dbu]

Spent a day last week on the 112 and one on the 122 last week, both in the 184

112 - mounted -1cm from Team ( Jesters)

122 - at midsole ( Pivots)

112 were stiffer than I expected, in both the tips and tails. Expected something similar to the Marksman or Shreditor 102, but was more similar to the Bender 108 with slightly more compliance torsionally with a little more pop from the tails combined with a lighter weight. Almost felt like a slightly wider/lighter PB&J - so I'd be curious to hear what the Moment junkies think. Overall, I could see this as being on the short list for a single "do-everything" ski for folks who both like to ski fast, but also loose (just like your mom).

122, was right in-line with expectations...which could have been due to the clapped out nature of the skis I have. Somewhere between the Armada JJ2.0 (see review in the link below), and Shreditor 102 in vertical flex, slightly less surfy than the JJ, but much better edge hold on firmer snow, and more predictable when on edge. Was still pretty easy to get on the tips and break the tails free similarly to the JJ2.0. Chopped/mank snow, they got tossed a tad more, but nothing overly unexpected given the skis stiffness. If you're looking for a 1 - 2 ski collection, I'd probably leave this out as I think there are more versatile options out there, but based on my skiing style, and what I've heard about with the 102, on a 3+ setup I think the 122 makes a ton of sense. I could also see the 122 as an interesting storm/deep day touring ski if you threw a lighter weight tech binding

I actually thought the 112s got knocked around a lot more than a Wildcat 108 and I felt they’re a lot less stiff.

I’m looking for a 108 - 112mm ski in the quiver…

Reckoner 112, Wildcat 108, Deathwish 122 and Nordica Unleashed 108 are all on the shortlist.

The Reckoners are the cheapest by far.

Probably the lesser ski, too.

How about a Heritage FL113? Probably out skis everything on your list with a flat camber keeping it surfy, too.

Those look nice. 187cm is the smallest size though and -11.5 mount?

Regret selling my unmounted McFetridge Reckoner 112s….

Ok- someone needs to explain this as it’s driving me nuts; why does K2 show their skis w 2 sets of bases?!

So that’s a snail on the new 112s?

Didn’t see that coming?

Yes a snail - but why 2 varieties of bases?

Honestly why not? Significant reduction in waste by using both sections after cutting. Seems like a nearly free way to improve their sustainability, maybe they'll promote it a bit? IDGAF what my bases look like, maybe the color matters but you still get the color with that setup.

It's a testicle. I told the guy who designed the topsheets he was smoked

Just seems an odd selling point.

I will say this, after years of boring skis, kudos to K2 for putting out skis that stand out & look interesting shape/graphic. Feels like the industry is in a serious slump of “let’s just do what they do” skis.

Then why not one of each per set?

People would complain they don't match? I don't really know, just trying to think of an answer for his question.

^says the guy who skis whos daily drivers are missing one of the ski tips.

Not a fan of the "cowboy" or upcoming "slug" graphic on the 112.

Thinking of re-adding the 2021 Reckoner 112 to the quiver. I had bought the 2021 McFetrige version from Corbett's last summer, but re-sold those locally at $50 profit. Have found some standard 2021's for $399CDN.

White Pivot 18s should look ok.

[SirVicSmasher]

Navy pivots look best on that ski

Not sure about those white pivots on the beige/cream topsheets

Ya thought about that too. Hence the post.

[PeachesNCream]

Yeah idk about white, could be great, could be fugly, would have to see mounted. Black would obviously be easy but safe. I'm kinda thinking gold

[iriponsnow]

Luv the White

Forget the haters!

[kc_7777]

Haha. A while back I picked up three pair of white Pivot 18s from a local shop for about $220CDN each. They’ve been on many skis since then.

[sk8rat6587]

They also had different bases on the mcfetridge 112s. Some had white bases and some had black. If it's due to sustainability, I would have expected it to be on more skis and marketed in 2022, so I'm not really sure why they are doing it.

In reference to the skis themselves, they are fun and super intuitive so if you have them in the quiver they quickly become the default decision in a wide range of conditions.

Posting to share that the crazy cheap Corbett’s prices were too much for me to ignore and I ordered a pair of 2022 184 Reckoner 112’s. Going to mount them with demos so I can share with Junior and play with mount points.

Looking forward to skiing chair 2 at Alpy with them.
