evo.com | Line Skis > The narrowest Optic gets overshadowed by its wider peers, but the Line Skis Optic 88 Skis can hold their own with frontside carvers with Umlauts in their names and deserve a closer look. Solid Aspen Veneer construction with a Titanal Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive(TM) overlay to keep things calm and stable even when you're pushing the envelope and a decidedly non-stodgy topsheet and base make the Optic 88 a keeper. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. 5-Cut(TM) Geometry Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel. Aspen Veneer Core An amalgam of Aspen Stringers brought together for a lightweight, snappy, and engaged feel. Early Rise(TM) 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. Directional Flex The softer tip floats and initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability and high speed control. | Line Skis Optic 88 Skis 2026 - 177
