I think it's pretty similar. The Prodigy is a bit stiffer than the Reckoner, which is an incredibly flexible twin tip. I think you'll get better overall performance from the Faction.
Feels like the review is all about the specs and construction. What’s it like on snow? How is the swingweight? Is it loose or precise? How supportive are the tails on landings? I’m looking for a lightweight park ski to master 180s and 360s off small to medium jumps.
The 92 is a very flexible ski. It is easy to turn due to the taper shape and the tails are pretty loose. I think it's a good ski for beginning and learning park jumps and tricks but it's worth moving up a build to the Sight if you're spending a lot of time in the park. Or move to something like Armada ARV 94 or Elan Playmaker 91 if light weight is a big priority.
Carving will be the weak spot of this or the Bent, but woods, powder, and versatility are right there. For a bit more of an upgrade in carving performance, check out Black Crows Captis, also a 90 mm twin tip that takes the performance up a notch.
There are two lines, a Team and a Midsole. The Team line is 2cm ahead of Midsole, and that one is more freestyle. I'd go with the Midsole line for all-mountain use.
Most of the Reckoners that we sell have a system binding on a track, and this allows an easier movement forward or back for experimentation. Generally, the line on which the ski is mounted is great for mixing freeride and park.
The Sight is stiffer and heavier. If you want something more durable and supportive, I would say the Sight is the way to go. The Reckoner is more flexible and wider with more of a freeride application vs. all-mountain and park like the Sight.
Hey, between honey badger, reckoner 92 and prodigy 1, which one would you reccomend for mainly powder and freestyle? for all mountain i also have a k2 pinnacle 88Ti
Would this be good to use as a park ski on a budget if I already have skis more for all mountain.? I have been looking for a cheaper, lighter, softer ski for jibs and rails, would you recommend this ski for that?
The Reckoner is very flexible. Bent is flexy in the tips and tails but has a bit more stoutness underfoot. The Honey Badger is a real bang-around ski that is built to withstand some rugged use from pretty rough skiers. I like the all-mountain nature of the Bent 90 the best out of these three.
Amazing skis
Just got a pait
I just just bought the 169 and I’m 13 they feel really good a have a lot of pop
Nice!
great review! how would this comparre to something like a prodigy 1? i wan't knew ski's that can do it all, but mainly focus on a piste twin tip...

I was thinking this k2's or atomic bent 90 or something else ? Looking for all-mountain skis, going woods a bit, powder, but also carving ? I'm 1.85cm

Where would you recommend mounting the bindings for all mountain? Thanks
There are two lines, a Team and a Midsole. The Team line is 2cm ahead of Midsole, and that one is more freestyle. I'd go with the Midsole line for all-mountain use.
@@SkiEssentials Where should I mount it if I would like to ski some freeride but also being able to be good at the park and groomers
I just got mine and I mounted them 2cm back from the middle
Where would you put the binding if u would freeride and do park?
Most of the Reckoners that we sell have a system binding on a track, and this allows an easier movement forward or back for experimentation. Generally, the line on which the ski is mounted is great for mixing freeride and park.
would you recommend these or the 2024 k2 sight? looking for a good all-mountain ski that I can start learning park on. Thanks!
The Sight is stiffer and heavier. If you want something more durable and supportive, I would say the Sight is the way to go. The Reckoner is more flexible and wider with more of a freeride application vs. all-mountain and park like the Sight.
Hey, between honey badger, reckoner 92 and prodigy 1, which one would you reccomend for mainly powder and freestyle?
for all mountain i also have a k2 pinnacle 88Ti
height 1,77 and 80kg weight
I'd say the Prodigy is your best bet here for blending powder and freestyle. I'd go just below head high for length.
Would this be good to use as a park ski on a budget if I already have skis more for all mountain.? I have been looking for a cheaper, lighter, softer ski for jibs and rails, would you recommend this ski for that?
I think this ski fits all of those criteria!
@@SkiEssentials great thx a lot. Just bought it for a great deal 👍
would these be a good 60 percent park ski
Sure! They're very well rounded, easy to turn, and flexible enough for park and all-mountain performance.
How does it compare to Bent 90 and Honey Badger?
The Reckoner is very flexible. Bent is flexy in the tips and tails but has a bit more stoutness underfoot. The Honey Badger is a real bang-around ski that is built to withstand some rugged use from pretty rough skiers. I like the all-mountain nature of the Bent 90 the best out of these three.
are these women’s or men’s skis?
There's a Reckoner W version as well, but they're the same skis with different graphics. For all intents and purposes, Reckoner 92 is unisex.
