Trying to decide between these and the ARV 112’s to be my soft snow ski out west. They both come in at very comparable weights, with similar profiles and flex patterns (at least on paper). How would you contrast the 2? Which is looser and easier to pivot overall?
The Reckoner is more flexible than the ARV, especially in the tips and tails, which feels more energetic and poppy. The looser Reckoner feels more at home on the feet of a freestyle-oriented skier who's looking to bust out the tricks at any point in time. Despite the ARV's twin tip shape and creative profile, it feels better in a modern freeride style vs. any type of true freestyle acumen.
The Reckoner is more slarvy and buttery while the Rossignol is sturdier and more energetic. If you're looking for pop and energy, I'd go Sender Free 110 all day.
Yes, although I recall feeling a lot more confident on the Marksman vs. the Reckoner around here in Vermont. I do think that in deeper snow, you're getting a more playful ski in the Reckoner, but I loved how the Marksman completed a turn for how wide it was.
Just grabbed these for my trip to Hokkaido. Hoping they pair well with my 99ti mindbender for groomers and these for trees and pow!
could you make a video of the reckoner 124 pleas

Reckoner 110 vs Rossignol Sender free 110 in terms of pop/energy? Thanks 🍻

Do you see the resemblance to the K2 marksman?

how did you mount these?
Our demo skis were mounted on the factory line and we did not stray from that.
