The K2 Recon 130 LV is a high-performance all-mountain ski boot designed for advanced male skiers who demand precision and power. Built around a 98 mm last and featuring a 130 flex, it’s made to tackle varied terrain with confidence and control.
Thanks to its low-volume shell, the Recon 130 LV offers a snug, responsive fit that keeps your foot locked in for direct energy transfer with every turn. The stiff 130 flex rating ensures firm support under load, helping you maintain edge grip at higher speeds and on steeper slopes. At around 1 700 g per boot (size 26.5), it strikes a balance between performance-driven rigidity and manageable weight for a full day on piste.
In ski-boot terms, a 130 flex is firmly in the performance category—stiffer boots provide more counter-pressure against your shin, allowing finer control and quicker ski responses.
