evo.com | Line Skis Skis > The most versatile offering in the superb Blade Optic range, the Line Skis Blade Optic 96 Skis rail on hardpack with the best of the metal-infused superskis, but perform with more confidence in off-piste and variable conditions than you'd expect. The Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive(TM) laminate gives the Blade Optic 96 incredible power and smoothness at speed, but a bit more rocker in the tip lets the ski float in deeper snow. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Directional Flex The softer tip floats and initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability and high speed control. Early Rise(TM) Tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack. Aspen Veneer Core An amalgam of Aspen Stringers brought together for a lightweight, snappy, and engaged feel. 5-Cut(TM) Geometry Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel. Freeride enthusiasts looking to drive wider skis without fear of pre-release have long looked to the Marker Griffon 13 ID Ski Bindings for their fantastic performance and reliability. They return with a re-worked Inter Pivot 3 heelpiece that significantly improves step in performance, thus eliminating the one qualm that some users had. Meanwhile, the redesigned Triple Pivot Elite 3 toe comes equipped with a new metal rail to scratch off ice and snow below your boot sole. And with Sole.ID technology to accommodate almost every boot sole norm, the Marker Griffon 13 ID Ski Bindings have you covered each and every time you click in. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. AFD Gliding Plate All Marker bindings (except the Jester Pro) are equipped with a moveable AFD (Anti Friction Device), allowing a precise release unhindered by dirt, snow, and ice buildup. The type of AFD is matched to the skier type, ensuring perfect functionality from racing to junior and even alpine touring. Stand Height 24 mm Inter Pivot 3 Heel The newest generation Inter Pivot heel offers improved step-in performance, with a magnesium heel bracket for power transmission and energy absorption. Triple Pivot Elite 3 Toe Toe construction with impressive retention when freeriding. The spring in the toe is inserted horizontally and with a sole plate inclined by 5deg it provides the highest energy absorption so as to reduce the risk of early release. The large supporting surface optimizes the power transmission and allows for great stresses and strains. | Line Skis Blade Optic 96 Skis 2024 - 163 Package (163 cm) + 100 Adult Alpine Bindings in Tan Size 163/100
