Description

Ideal for anyone who enjoys high-speed skiing with confidence, the men's Line Blade Optic 96 skis offer immense edge grip on hard snow, with a powerful, smooth ride in cut-up snow and chop.

Features
  • These are the narrowest skis in the Blade Optic collection
  • Chevron shape of Titanal® underfoot expands into the forebody and rear of the skis
  • Overdrive™ uses Titanal focused vertically throughout the skis, extending throughout the tips and tails to add stability, power and precision
  • Gas Pedal Metal™ uses Titanal focused across the ski width to provide increased edge grip and torsional stability while maintaining a lively feel along the length of the ski
  • 2 independent tip and tail Titanal pieces add power and energy
  • 5-Cut™ uses 5 different radii blended into the sidecut for a wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel
  • Sidewall is constructed with ultra-high-density polyethylene vertical walls over the edges to absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission
  • With Directional Flex, the softer tips float and initiate turns easily while the stiffer tails provide power, stability and high-speed control
  • Fatty Base & Edge™ means 30% thicker bases and edges; 2 mm wide x 2.5 mm high edge, and 1.7 mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life of these skis
  • Thin Tip™ super-thin core and sidewall in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight and tip bounce
