evo.com | Line Skis Skis > You've never liked Line skis. You wear a belt and hitch your pants high enough that your underwear doesn't show and your cuffs don't turn to shreds under your heels . . . Hey, times are changing and the new Line Skis Optic 114 Skis are built just for you, the guy who rips clean turns from the cornice at speed and still has enough left in the tank to air out that rock line with room to spare. If anything, the Optic (the Blade moniker is history), is on the demanding side of the freeride performance spectrum, with an Aspen Veneer and Titanal build and a solidity underfoot that must be skied to be believed. Don't just take our word for it, try the Optic 114 and come away a convert. 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 Optic 114 Skis 2025 - 186
