Line Skis Sir Francis Bacon

Shop all Line Skis
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!

Product Details
Rocker Type
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

Flex
Symmetric Flex – The same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward & backward.

Sidecut
5-Cut™ – Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.


Shape
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.

Early Taper™ – The widest part of the sidecut begins tapering earlier in the tip and tail which reduces tail hook ups in powder.


Thin Tip™ – Super thin core & sidewall in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight & tip bounce.


Core
Partly Cloudy™ – A blend of lightweight Paulownia and Maple creating the best strength to weight ratio of Line's offerings.


Sidewalls
Sidewall Construction – Ultra-high density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges to absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.

Base
Fatty Base | Sintered 1.7mm – 30% thicker base dramatically increases durability and tuning life of these skis.

Edges
Fatty Edge | 2.5mm x 2.2mm – 30% thicker edge dramatically increases durability and tuning life of these skis.
