The Line OPTIC 88 skis are designed for experienced skiers looking for a versatile ski geared toward the groomed slopes and hard snow, capable of meeting the demands of freeriding without sacrificing precision on groomed runs. With an 88 mm waist width, the OPTIC 88 is the narrowest model in the Optic series, designed for those who prioritize edge grip and active terrain reading. The combination of a Capwall construction and strategically integrated metal makes it a technical ski with direct and predictable handling.

Precision and grip: Capwall construction at the service of the ride

The Capwall construction sets the OPTIC 88 apart with its ability to concentrate stiffness where it’s needed—underfoot—while maintaining some flexibility at the tip and tail to absorb irregularities. This architecture provides precise grip during the weight-transfer phases of a turn and contributes to the overall durability of the ski’s tips and tails. The Rocker/Camber/Rocker profile complements this geometry by making it easier to initiate turns at the tip, while maintaining contact with the snow at the center for responsive handling on hard snow.

Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive technology for increased power transfer

At the heart of the OPTIC 88, Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive technology incorporates Titanal strategically positioned underfoot. This strategic placement increases torsional stiffness in the primary pressure zone, resulting in better transmission of the skier’s intentions to the edge, without making the ski excessively heavy. The Aspen Veneer core contributes to this balance between responsiveness and stability, resulting in a ski that responds directly to every input.

A multi-radius sidecut for fluid and adaptable turns

The 5CUT multi-radius sidecut allows the turning radius to vary progressively depending on the ski’s angle of lean, with a reference radius of 16.3 m for the 177 cm length. This feature offers flexibility in managing your line, from short, dynamic turns to wide arcs taken at sustained speed. The Fatty Base & Edge, which are 30% thicker than standard, enhance durability and grip on frozen snow—two key advantages for skiing in demanding winter conditions.

The Line OPTIC 88 skis are a solid choice for the experienced skier looking for a piste-oriented freeride ski that combines power transfer, precision in turns, and durability.
