Perfect for skiers who relish high-speed adventures with unwavering confidence, the Blade Optic 96 stands as the slimmest member of the Blade Optic series, showcasing the prowess of Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive™. Featuring a chevron-shaped Titanal layer beneath the foot area that extends to both the ski's forebody and rear, you can expect exceptional edge grip on hard-packed snow, coupled with a commanding and seamless ride through uneven and chopped-up terrain.
5CUT™ MULTI-RADIUS SIDECUT: The ski incorporates five different radii into its sidecut, resulting in a wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.
GAS PEDAL METAL: Titanal, strategically focused across the ski width, enhances edge grip and torsional stability while maintaining liveliness throughout the ski's length. Additionally, two independent tip and tail Titanal pieces contribute extra power and energy.
OVERDRIVE™: Titanal is distributed vertically throughout the ski, extending into the tip and tail to enhance stability, power, and precision.
EARLY RISE: This technology lifts the ski's tip and tail away from the snow, bringing the contact points closer to the ski's center. This increases lift in deep snow and enables quicker engagement on hardpack when the ski is tilted on edge.
SIDEWALL CONSTRUCTION: Vertical Ultra-High Density Polyethylene walls along the edges absorb vibrations and provide robust energy transmission.
ASPEN VENEER CORE: The ski features an amalgamation of Aspen Stringers, creating a lightweight, snappy, and engaged feel.
DIRECTIONAL FLEX: Designed with a directional flex pattern, the ski boasts a softer tip for easy floatation and turn initiation, complemented by a stiffer tail that offers power, stability, and high-speed control.
FATTY BASE & EDGE™: This enhancement includes a 30% thicker base and edge, featuring 2mm wide by 2.5mm high steel edges and a robust 1.7mm thick base. These additions dramatically increase the durability and tuning life of the skis.
