Ideal for anyone who enjoys high-speed skiing with confidence, the award-winning Optic 96 represents a versatile daily driver complete with Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive tech. 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.

Features

  • 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 ski's 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.
  • 5CUT Multi-Radius Sidecut: FIVE different radiuses are blended into the ski’s 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.
  • Overdrive: Titanal focused vertically throughout the ski, extending throughout the tip and tail, designed to add stability, power, and precision.
  • Fatty Base & Edge: 30% thicker base and edge, 2 mm wide x 2.5 mm high steel edges and 1.7 mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life of the skis.
