Terrain Type & Ability Level

Overview
Shape
A redesign of the classic Sir Francis Bacon brings you the new Bacon 108. With a wider waist and a longer radius 17.4m radius (184cm), it's more stable, yest still easy to turn, and offers great floatation. Early Rise enhances maneuverability, while setback contact points reduce hooking during turns. Its symmetric flex allows for similar handling both forward and switch for backcountry freestyle fun.
Rocker
Early Rise at the tip and tail lift them away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the centre of the ski. This increases the ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.
Core
The core uses Line’s legendary Maple Macroblock with 2 full length maple stringers surrounded by aspen for increased strength and durability. This works perfectly with the Carbon Ollieband, pre-stretched carbon stringers running down the ski centre for added pop and play. The result is a ski with a lot of life.
Construction
Sidewall Construction uses an ultra-high density polyethylene over the edges to absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.
Key Features
Bio-Resin
Bio-Resins are made from more sustainable sources and have less envorimental impact than traditional resins used in ski manufacturing. Not only that, they also have an increased bonding within the core for improved durabilty and performance.
Thin Tip
A thin core & sidewall in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight for improved manoeuvrability & reduced tip bounce for better snow contact and handling.
Symmetric Flex
The same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward and backwards.
EB tester’s comments: Zak (Manchester) Easy and playful in softer snow but still holds its own when it comes time to throw down some turns on the piste.
