PRODUCT DETAILS
Ideal for anyone who enjoys high-speed skiing with confidence, the award-winning 2023 LINE Blade Optic 96 Ski represents the narrowest ski in the Blade Optic collection that harnesses the power of Gas Pedal Metal Overdive. With a chevron shape of Titanal underfoot that expands into the forebody and rear of the ski, you'll experience immense edge grip on hard snow, with a powerful, smooth ride in cut-up snow and chop.
- 5Cut Multi-Radius Sidecut: FIVE different radiuses are blended into the skis sidecut. The result A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.
- Gas Pedal Metal: Titanal focused across the ski width provides increased edge grip and torsional stability while maintaining a lively feel along the length of the ski. Two independent tip and tail Titanal pieces add extra power and energy.
- Early Rise: The tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a skis lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.
- Sidewall Construction: Ultra-High Density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.
- Aspen Veneer Core: An amalgam of Aspen Stringers brought together for a lightweight, snappy, and engaged feel.
- Directional Flex: The softer tip floats & initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability & high speed control.
- Fatty Base and Edge: 30% thicker base & edge, 2mm wide x 2.5mm high steel edges and 1.7mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life the skis.
- Overdrive: Titanal focused vertically throughout the ski, extending throughout the tip and tail designed to add stability, power, and precision.
- Thin Tip: A thin core & sidewall in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight & tip bounce.
- Flat Ski. Recommended bindings equal to waist width or up to 15mm wider.
