Description
The Sbound 98 are among Fischer's broadest off-track cross-country skis. With a sidecut measuring 98/69/88, these backcountry touring skis provide stability and control across a variety of snow conditions. Their width helps keep you on top of deep snow better than standard narrower cross-country skis. Additionally, they feature the Nordic Rocker Camber design, which slightly raises the tips to optimise gliding in deep snow.
This version includes crowns, a pattern in the kick zone that offers good grip without needing to apply kick wax. To further boost grip, you can attach the Easy Skins (available separately). Skins are one of the most effective methods for securing grip when skiing off track.
The steel edges give assurance of control on icy hardpack snow areas.
Recommendation: Select a ski that matches the skier's weight and a ski length approximately 5-15cm beyond the person’s height.

"Excellent skis. Great for powder days and for XCD skiing. Significant incut makes for easy turning. The downside is that you sacrifice kick and glide performance on the flats. It all depends on what you want. Super fast shipping to the USA. I received the skis less than a week after placing my order. Had them mounted by SkatePro, and that was also done well." | |
