K2 Recoil Skis 2012

Comments about K2 Recoil Skis 2012:

Skis are really solid and stable for big parks. I brought them to the mountain the other weekend expecting to ski park when a surprise storm hit and these skis shredded harder in pow, crud, cliffs than any park skis i've ever owned. With a small amount of rocker and 90mm underfoot these can handle anything. However if you're just a park rat and won't be hitting any big features or good terrain I would suggest the K2 Domain. They have nearly the same dimensions but a softer flex and cheaper price.

I've not had a chance to ride these bad boys yet but I'm dying for the snow to start falling. I decided to buy the K2 Recoils after I did a lot of research. For the past 3yrs I've been riding on some Rossi 162mm. They are decent carving skis w/ atrocious float in powder. Upon my research I came upon K2s Rocker-Camber-Rocker technology. I even went to K2s company website and asked them several questions. After taking the time to research different types of skis I really believe that I'll be quite happy on these boyz. I can already tell that the rockers on both ends will initiate easier turning while the wider the ski plus the camber will also provide better float through the powder. I'm 35yrs old so there's no need for me to hit the park but after even watching some vids on youtube ski reviews the K2 Recoils are going to be a sick pair of all mountain skis. Let the snow start falling!!

East Coast all mountain guys will like these on our ultra variable terrain. Looking forward to testing them in the good stuff out West next month. I don't do park, strictly all mountain. Good grip, good edge hold, and easy turn initiation. Best part for me was relative stability at higher speeds. Only gripe is top sheet has a coue peel spots already. No biggie.

I got these as my first pair of skis as I am switching from snowboarding. I went from not being able to ride to hitting moguls, jumps, cliffs withing 4 days on the snow. I love the rocker camer hybrid. These skis are great for progressing no matter if you are beginner or intermediate. I highly recommend these skis as they are affordable and suited for anywhere on the mountain.

I previously owned a pair of Line Anthems, but was looking for a ski that could handle more all-mountain terrain. I have ridden these skis in and out of the park, through crud and on ice, and they handled solidly and very well in all situations. The edge hold is better than any other park ski I have ridden, and they are very stable at high speeds. I was told they would lose stability at speed because of the small amount of rocker (2mm x 15cm in tip and tail), but this did not hold true. Stability is excellent, and turns initiate with even a gentile move. Also, the skis are very stable on landings and have a low swing weight in the air, even though it is on the heavier side for a park ski. On boxes and rails, it is easy to do spins on and off, and it is easy to switch up. Overall, a great all-purpose ski that will perform well in and out of the park.

These skis are awesome, it took me over two weeks to decide which pair of skis to buy and I cant be any happier with my choice. Very smooth ride, very stable at high speeds, kills it in the park. It is everything you could wish for in a pair of all-mountain skis.

20 season veteran snowboarder decided to try skiing. With a solid 8-10 days of skiing under my belt, I decided to buy these skis.

Technology has come a long way, and these skis do make it really easy to turn. They're forgiving, and have good edge control on the groomers.

Before I got these skies for a gift, I had used lower quality skies when I began skiing. After several years of going to many different mountains with a wide range of terrain and sizes, I decided it was time to get some new high quality and performance skies.

However I strongly recommend that before you purchase these skies that you a) very well know you personal physical capability level and b) that you have thorough experience in a wide range of terrain and speeds in which you can have good control.

Skis worked great with the powder and through the moguls. While my friends were sinking I was fine. Skinny middle makes it difficult to carve through icy terrain though so beware if you will be skiing this kind of terrain.

Great all mountain ski and park ski

Good ski, just a bit heavy.

I purchased this ski to use as an all-mountain ski, and mounted the bindings back in the classic stance. It's a very versatile, fun ski. If I had one complaint, it would be that the ski can be a little bit unstable at very high speeds. I have the 159cm length, and I imagine that this high speed instability might vanish if I were riding the next size up (164cm I think). They're also designed to be capable as a park and pipe ski, so that might have something to do with the high speed performance as well. These skis perform admirably on pretty much any type of terrain. Obviously it's not as good as a wider powder ski in powder, but it's floaty enough to get through a fresh snow fall (I've used it in 18 inches of fresh powder). They're turnable enough to take through some technical moguls and off-trail terrain, confident on groomers and packed snow, and have enough surface to get by in soft snow and powder. Very fun ski!

I enjoy my Recoils, the edges have held up well so far, but I'd like them to be a bit softer

Just tried them out last weekend at a local groomed ski resort, overall very pleased with them. Didn't have time to try them on the rails, but they were great on snow. Although friend's snowboard kept rubbing on it on chairs, the graphics didn't get damaged at all, just some on the sides, no big deal.

Great overall product, stable, fun and reliable. Friendly tip though, do not click your skis together to get off the snow, for it causes the top plastic to peel.

Smooth ride on groomers or in the pow

My 16year old son bought these skis, the first he's purchased with his own money. I skied them for a day to get a feel for them myself. They are quick on edge, hold at speed, light enough and enough give to be quick in the bumps. Wasn't a ton of powder the day I skied them, so not sure of the floatation. Center mounted bindings and they were as easy to ski backward as forward. Definitely recommend for intermediate to advanced skiers.

Bought these for my 16 year old grandson and he loves them. He is on his high school ski team.

Bought these for Xmas for our 15 year old based on several product reviews. Just got another couple feet of snow so we're taking him up to try them out this week.

Used them once so far in variable terrain. Performed well on groomers and powder.

haven't ridden them yet, but they look hot.

This product is the first K2 i have ordered, an already it is making me happy. They are heavier than my old armada ar6, but the extra size is what i was looking for as well as i am using a heavier binding. The skis have a lot of flex to begin with, so i do not feel like i have to break them in as much. Overall a great buy.

Works best in parks but can handle anything you can through at them.
