Chronic 101 26/27

The Line Chronic 101 is an all-mountain freestyle ski and a wider version of the Chronic 94. It has Thick-Cut Sidewalls, Thin Tips and a symmetric flex. Line rates it for intermediate to expert skiers.

With Thick-Cut Sidewall, the sidewall extends further into the core, and there is more material over the steel edges. That increases the bonding surface, so the sidewall stands up to hard edge impacts such as sliding rails. Thin Tip means the core runs all the way through the tip and tail, with a glass-on-glass bond in both. If a delamination happens, it will not spread to the core. It stays limited to edge chipping. The flex is the same in front of and behind the boot, so the ski reacts the same riding forward and switch. Early Rise in the tip and tail adds lift in powder and gets the ski on edge quickly on hardpack. At 179 cm the ski measures 130-101-124 mm, with a 16.6 m radius and a weight of 2042 g.
