Fischer S-Bound 98 Crown/Dual Skin XTR

The Fischer S-Bound 98 Crown/Dual-Skin Xtralite is the perfect blend of touring ski and downhill fun for your backcountry adventures. It combines a pronounced sidecut and the Nordic rockered tip with a shape that is capable in terrain yet still efficient for touring – ideal for advanced and expert skiers who want to explore away from groomed tracks and enjoy the descents too.

The extremely light wood core with Air Channel technology saves energy with every stride, while the full-length steel edges give you the necessary control on hard and rutted snow. Uphill grip comes from the wax-free Offtrack Crown climbing zone in the Sintec base. When the terrain steepens, the Dual Skin system offers two options: the short Easy Skin 65 for moderate climbs or the full-length Super Skin for long, steep sections (each sold separately). Speed Grinding 2.0 completes the glide performance.
