The Rictor returns this season as the go to ski for skiers that want to ski every aspect and condition of the mountain. Stable and playful for the expert, but not too demanding for the confidant intermediate. 80mm underfoot and K2's All Terrain Rocker (rocker in the tip, with camber under foot) the Rictor has enough waist width to float through powder, and power through crud. The Rocker in the tip gives the ski a quick, and responsive turn initiation, absorbs the negative energy from bumps and crud, and helps the tips of the skis plane on top of the fluffy stuff in the bowls and trees. Hybritech Sidewalls give the Rictor a lot of edge grip when the groomers get icy. An aspen/paulownia wood core with metal laminates, the MOD, and MOD Monic vibration dampening systems ensure that the Rictor will have a smooth and damp, yet lively feel no matter what condition or what ski area you are at. The K2 Rictor can take any punishment you can dish out at it, but is not too much ski for the athletic intermediate, no matter what conditions or resort you are at.

Comments about K2 A.M.P. Rictor Skis with Marker/K2 MX 12.0 Bindings 2012:
Thom here with the K2 Rictor. I give this ski four out of five stars. Same as all of the AMP series, a little bit of tip rocker, this one's got sidewall underfoot. The tip rocker makes it super easy to engage in turns. Holds really well, a little bit poppier than the wider ski in the Aftershock so for that guy who wants more or your front sides skier looking to carve turns, maybe venturing off piste occasionally but just want stable performance on front side carving with a little bit wider more predictable platform. This is a great choice.

Hi I'm Charlie. I'm here with the K2 Rictor. I give the ski five out of five stars. This is replacing the old, it's got a full sidewall on it and a new rocker with the sheet of metal in it. It holds an edge real well, it's got a lot of stability and it's got a lot of of pop therefore it is a great front side ski. It'll do just about any groomers that you want, it will go out there and do it all day.

Hi I'm EJ. This is the Rictor. Back again this year, innovative ski, 80 mm wide underfoot but Rocker construction. Most of you are familiar with this ski. This ski holds an edge nicely on softer snow, on super hard pack stuff it might not be the rocket blaster ski you are looking for but if you are going West and looking for all mountain conditions, powder off the beaten path piste. This ski is very engaging, I like this ski, 4 1/2 stars.

This is Evan with the K2 Rictor. I really liked this ski. I give this 5/5 stars. It held an edge on the groomers real, real good. It has a nice sidewall construction to it, it has actually a little bit of tip rocker in the tip of the ski. It's their all terrain rocker and it really helped initiate and turn a little bit easier but still hold the turn extremely well. I'd say this would be a ski for your most of the time groomer rider.

Hey everyone, it's Fidel. Just got off the K2 Rictor, 174 length. Awesome ski too, I give it a 5/5. 80 under foot really wants to turn, really likes the short radius turns. Full sidewall construction, great technology, very stable at high speeds. Love to take it on the front side, don't know if I would necessarily like it in the powder but anywhere on the groomers I think it's an awesome ski.

Hi I'm Kevin and I just got off the brand-new K2 AMP Rictor. This is a replacement for the Recon from a couple years ago. Definitely a step up from the Recon, they've got sidewall all-terrain rocker in the tip so it's really a much more versatile ski and something you're not going to be able to out ski. You use to be able to outski the Recon, over power the, not so with this. Lots of edge grip, easy to turn, very stable. Very, very good all mountain ski for the guy who just wants to cruise mostly on the front side blues blacks. It's a really good ski 5/5 stars for sure.

Kyle here. I'm with the K2 Rictor. This ski is a great ski for someone whose maybe going a lot out west or lives out west and looking for kind of all mountain ski. It's an 80 under foot so Its got some girth for kind of any days conditions. It's got the all terrain rocker so It's real easy getting over edge to edge. I would give this ski a good 4/5.

Hi I'm Steve. I just got off the K2 AMP Rictor. This is a great ski. I tested it last year, I liked it, it's a great ski again this year. I give it a 4/5 stars. It's 80 mm in the waist so It's got enough to give you a little bit over width. Kind of a mid-fat ski for all mountain. It's got sidewall on the side which gives you a really stiff underfoot, helps you hold the edge really good. The ski has a little bit of rocker in the tip as well which helps you enter the turn real easily and smoothly and the ski really holds nice and finishes the turns really nice. So if you're the kind of person who is skiing mostly groomed and hard pack conditions but a little bit out west or a little bit of crud this would probably be the perfect ski for you.

Hi Trey with K2's AMP Rictor. I'm going to give this ski 5 out of 5 stars. I really really liked it. Very quick edge to edge, stable. Has a little bit of a rocker in it so you can link the turns nice and easy. Floats through the crud nice. Good front of the mountain ski, take any advanced intermediate to casual expert will really like this ski for the front of the mountain.

Hi this is Terry. I just got off the K2 Rictor in a 174. All Mountain rocker, great technology. Very nice ski, very stable. I give it a five out of five. It's fun in the soft snow as well as on the hard pack. Goes anywhere you wanted to go, the race course or big mountains.
