Optic 96 Skis 2027 FAQ
What kind of skier is the Optic 96 built for?
The Optic 96 is positioned as a versatile all-mountain freeride ski for confident, high-speed skiers. It's not an entry-level ski. The Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive titanal construction rewards skiers who charge hard on hardpack and want a powerful, composed ride through chop and variable snow.
Does the Optic 96 have metal in it, and do I actually need that?
Yes. The Optic 96 uses Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive: a titanal laminate in a chevron shape underfoot that expands into the forebody and rear of the ski. On firm and chopped-up snow, that metal layer provides enhanced edge grip, stability, and a powerful, smooth feel. If you ski hard and fast, you'll feel the difference.
What terrain is the Optic 96 best at?
The 96mm waist and all-mountain freeride positioning make it a strong daily driver on hardpack, groomed runs, and variable or cut-up snow. It's LINE's award-winning all-mountain ski built to handle most conditions confidently. It's not a dedicated powder ski — the 96mm waist is a versatile groomer-to-off-piste width.
What lengths does the Optic 96 come in, and how do I pick the right one?
The Optic 96 comes in 156, 163, 170, 177, and 184 cm. It has an 18m average turn radius across all lengths. Longer lengths (177–184) suit taller or heavier riders who prioritize high-speed stability; shorter lengths (156–163) work better for lighter or more nimble skiers. The profile is 11-3-10 at 184, with modest tip and tail rocker.
Are the Optic 96 skis heavy?
At 184 cm, a single ski weighs 2000g. For an all-mountain ski with a titanal metal laminate, that's a reasonable weight. The metal adds stiffness and edge grip, which comes with a slight weight trade-off vs. a pure fiberglass or carbon ski. For the performance category it targets, the weight is well within norm.
Do these come with bindings?
No. The Optic 96 is sold as a flat ski without bindings. You'll need to purchase and mount bindings separately. No specific binding recommendation or pre-drilled mount point is specified in the catalog.
