Description
The Sbound 98 model is among the broadest off-trail cross-country skis offered by Fischer. With sidecut dimensions of 98/69/88, these backcountry touring skis promise stability and control across various snow conditions. Their width is designed to keep you atop deep snow more effectively than narrower cross-country skis. Additionally, they feature the Nordic Rocker Camber design, which raises the tips slightly to provide improved gliding capabilities in deep snow.
This version is equipped with a crown pattern in the kick zone, offering a good grip without the need for kick wax in this area. To further enhance grip, you can attach Easy Skins (available separately). Skins are among the most efficient means to gain grip when skiing off-trail.
The steel edges ensure control over icy hardpack snow surfaces.
Recommendation: Select skis that correspond to the skier's weight and are approximately 5-15 cm longer than the individual'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." | |
