K2 Apache Recon (2009)
It has the mellow yet strong feel of its wider brother, the Xplorer, but it's a more adept carver and is therefore more frontside-oriented.
Props
Adapts well to changing conditions.
Gripes
Chattered when forced into tight turns on steep groomed terrain.
Tester's Take
"Phenomenal handling, effortless turning, great all-around performance." -Eric Minkwitz
