Style: S10009
The all-mountain K2 Rictor Ski System performs aggressively in both soft and hard snow conditions. This versatile ski has an All-Terrain Rocker with elevated tips for better turn initiation in soft snow and camber underfoot for a long effective edge that grips the groomers. The progressive sidecut and Metal Laminate sidewalls help this mid-fat ski stay on edge in a wide variety of conditions, and MOD Monic provides targeted zinc dampening for a silky smooth ride no matter where you take them. This season, the MX 12 bindings have a Triple Pivot Comfort MX toe and Integrated Hub Technology to create a wider footprint that is ideal for use with mid-fat skis. The new toe features a cross-mounted spring, stainless steel Anti-Friction Device, and a backwards release function for your safety. The Inter-Pivot Heel has improved holding power to avoid pre-releasing in the air or on the snow.

Because the K2 Rictor is tip rockered, does it "ski short"? I am trying to decide whether the 174 ir 181 size is right for me (6'2" 183lbs)
Question by Jerry

These do "ski shorter" but with your height and weight you would ski better with the larger 181 size.

I am 6'0" and weigh 215 lbs. I spend a lot of time in bumps (moguls) and trees. I am debating on 167 or 174. Suggestions?
Question by Peter

For your weight and height the recommended ski size is close to 178, however if you want to spend a lot of time in moguls the shorter the ski the better still a 167 might be to small. IF you meet in the middle something close to 170 should be fine.

Do you think this ski would perform well in the diverse New England conditions? I ski the wholw mountain, what size would you suggest for me at 5' 10" and 187 lbs.

I definitely think this ski is good in the Northeast. This ski is damp which will help you on the ice and crust, and it has the dimensions you need to ski on that type of snow. The waist is 80 underfoot, so it's narrow enough to be a good East-Coast ski, but not so narrow that you'll be sunk (literally) on the occasions that you get a bunch of snow. You are either the 167 or 174 depending on your ability and where you like to ski. I'd size down if you're more intermediate or spend a bunch of time skiing moguls.

I'm 5'9" and 165 lbs. ...just demo this ski Vail and had great success with 160cc.....started like an intermediate but ended up doing all blacks and lite mogul fields...like speed but need to feel secure in curd and ungroomed powered slopes.....should I go with 160cc or the 167cc
Question by Mike Walden

This ski system has some reverse camber on it so if you want to spend time in the pow you should size up, the situation is that when you size up it becomes more difficult to maneuver over the moguls.

I'm 6' and 265pounds, intermediate skier. What length do you recommend? Ski groomed, Blue-Black conditions, all East Coast.
Question by John

If you are staying mostly in groomers a ski around 171 will be great, however for all mountain you should size up and for your measurements you can go all the way up to 180. So I would recommended for you to select something in the middle.

I currently ski the Dynastar 66 SkiCross and love it for the steep and hard pack East conditions. I have been doing much more bump/tree skiing and I'm looking for an equipment change.Two questions: How does the Rictor compare to the Ski Cross, and what length would be good for an advanced 5'6" 150lb skier? Thanks again.
Question by tonye

For your height and weight the recommended size is 168 for an all terrain experience. This might change depending on the type of camber, if its is traditional you are ok but if it is a reverse (early rise) camber you will need to size up to compensate for the tip and tail. But also if you want o go to the moguls you should size down because it helps the rider maneuver the skis better.

If I purchase a set of skis online, will the bindings already be mounted, or will I need to have them mounted once I receive them? Thanks.
Question by tonye

To ensure a safer delivery, bindings are not mounted.

I am 5'9 and weigh 230. I skied with 2011 K2 Aftershocks (167), but I was really leaning towards the Rictor. I want prefer turning vs Speed. What length of ski would you suggest for turning?
Question by Ed
5/4/2011 - 3:39 pm
You should stay close to the 166 if you are selecting a ski that has reverse camber. This ski in particular has only 30% of rocker which helps you turn better and float over powder. The camber underfoot will help you keep an edge over hard pack.

I am 6'1" 155 lbs. advanced- expert skier. Like short and arcing turns, speed. I'm looking to buy the K2 Rictor, would you recommend the 167 or 174's? Thank you.
Question by Chuck

I would recommend the 174's. You can use them in deeper snow and all over the mountain!

I am 5'9" @ 172LB, intermediate skier. Looking to buy either the K2 amp shockwave or the Rictor. I won't be doing any mogules anytime soon but mainly blue and some black runs. Considering I will be keeping these for many years to come, which one would you recommend and what size.
Question by JOHN
11/25/2011 - 12:43 am
For your height, weight and ability a 162 would be a good fit. The K2 Shockwave has a waist of 78 compared with the Rictor which is 80. If you are staying on the groomers the Shockwave would be a better selection for you.

Hello !
Just purchased a set of Rictors at 174 length. Have not skied on them yet. However I am now worrying and over analyzing my purchase right now. Im wondering if I made the right length choice. I am 6'1" and weigh around 193 LBS. I am an intermediate skier. I have gotten back into skiing after being away from the sport for over 15 years. Don't plan on doing any crazy stuff for a while but I do not plan on holding my progression back if it takes me there. I plan on sticking to the Groomed resort style slopes for now and expand in the future. I have been checking the various online ski sizing charts and most of them have me fitting in a 180-181 ish size. Will I be ok with the 174 Rictors OR should I have gone with the 181's ?? Many thanks for any and all input you can provide. I have been worrying myself like crazy !

Don't worry, be happy! For the Groomers, you're going to be fine in the 174s. Once your comfort level comes back, if you want to play around on the back mountain you may run into some issues on the 174s though. For big mountain, you would want to size up to the 181s as suggested.
