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. | Line Skis Blade Optic 96 Skis 2024 - 163
