Product Info
Line Skis Sir Francis Bacon Skis 2012: The culmination of the last 13 years of rigorous design and testing has led to one the most versatile skis ever created. Eric Pollard has completely redesigned the Line Skis Sir Francis Bacon Skis to have the perfect blend of flex, width, and shape. With a refined construction and geometry, the new Sir Francis Bacon has an even better float and feels smooth and solid everywhere on the mountain, proving once again that Bacon goes well on everything.
Product Details
Shape
Early Rise™ Tip & Tail: the Line Skis Sir Francis Bacon Skis have 20cm x 10mm rise that starts earlier so the tips rise effortlessly out of powder and stay on top without needing to sit back.
Early Taper™ Tip & Tail: the widest point of the sidecut starts tapering earlier in the tip and tail to reduce hooking in powder and tail drag.
G-Cut™ Geometry is a 5-radius sidecut with the tightest radius in the tail for powerful, predictable exits and less unwanted tip hooking.
Construction
Sidewall™ construction consists of ABS plastic walls over the edges to absorb impact and vibrations for a solid, smooth feel.
Thin Tip™ super thin core and sidewall in the tips and tails is 50g lighter per ski for reduced swing weight.
Sintered Fatty Base & Edge are extremely durable and impact resistant
Flex
Maple Macroblock™ Core is made from the widest and highest quality Maple laminates for long lasting camber and energy. This 100% tip to tail wood core is the lightest, most durable in the universe.
Symmetric Flex has the same ski flex in front and behind your boot for the same feel riding forward or backwards.
Dimensions
17.7m @ 184cm, 140/108/136 (all sizes)
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width that is equal to the ski waist width and at most 15 mm wider.

All-Mountain, Powder

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level:

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
