Description
Sbound 98 are among the broadest off-track cross-country skis from Fischer. This pair of backcountry touring skis features sidecut dimensions of 98/69/88. Opting for these skis ensures stability and control across various snow conditions. The width helps you stay atop deep snow more effectively than narrower cross-country skis. Additionally, they are equipped with the Nordic Rocker Camber design, meaning the tips are slightly elevated to provide enhanced gliding properties in deep snow.
This edition includes crowns - a pattern in the kick zone area that offers good grip without the need for kick waxing. To further improve grip, you can add the Easy Skins (sold separately). Skins are one of the most effective methods for gaining traction when skiing off-track.
The steel edges provide control on icy, compacted snow surfaces.
Recommendation: Select skis that correspond to the skier’s weight, plus a ski length approximately 5-15cm taller 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." | |
