The Line Skis Sir Francis Bacon Skis have been a freestyle staple for creative, progressive rippers for well over a decade. This year, Eric Pollard again pushes the envelope, beefing it up to 107mm underfoot and incorporating convex tips and tails into the build. Designed to feel loose, surfy and easy to release in deeper snow, the convexity, along with a relatively centered stance and soft flex, contributes to a super fun, playful personality allowing the skier to drift, schmear and slash turns better than ever. Rise, Sir Francis Bacon, you (still) frickin' rule!
Early Rise™ – 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.
Rocker Profile – 6mm Tip / 4mm Camber / 6mm Tail
Symmetric Flex – The same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward & backward.
Convex Base™ – Convex contouring across the tip and tail of the ski loosed the ski feel by increasing displacement - and creating a tip and tail more inclined to plane - for an added dimension of turn shape.
Partly Cloudy™ – A blend of lightweight Paulownia and Maple creating the best strength to weight ratio of Line's offerings.
Sidewall Construction – Ultra-high density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges to absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.
Fatty Base | Sintered 1.7mm – 30% thicker base dramatically increases durability and tuning life of these skis.
Fatty Edge | 2.5mm x 2.2mm – 30% thicker edge dramatically increases durability and tuning life of these skis.
