Sir Francis Bacon 2021
60 days to change your mindThe Sir Francis Bacon is a men's ski by Line.
Maintaining their freeride and freestyle backcountry style, they also feature a stunning design by Eric Pollard.
The Sir Francis Bacon skis are a pretty versatile pair of freeride skis designed for advanced skiers, which have held their own for over 10 years now. They are also high-performing in backcountry conditions thanks to their Symmetric Flex which is just as easy to use in switch and regular skiing.
Its wooden core and Partly Cloudy construction offer robustness for stability in all types of snow. Tip/ tail Rockers offer good handling and excellent take-off abilities. With a pretty short turn radius of 16m and 5Cut technology by Line, they are speedy and ensure great grip on all ground. The lightness and well-measured flex of the skis make turning very easy indeed.
With its waist of 107mm, don't doubt its efficiency in heavy snow, it floats on the snow. Line's latest Convex Base technology has been added to the model to strengthen its go everywhere reputation. Whether in tight turns, edging, low rotations, switch or regular, the transition has never been so easy.
The Sir Francis Bacon from Line is therefore an ultra versatile ski that will fully express itself when you go off the beaten track!

Early Rise: The rise of the tip and tail starts sooner when the ski's profile moves away from the centre, making turning easier and helping to keep the skis steady. It also means effortless float in softer snow!
Early Taper: The widest tip and tail point is positioned earlier on the ski to reduce friction on the snow and offer more manoeuvrability.

The core has been lightened and the edges thinned out.
Symmetrical Flex :
An identical Flex at the front and back of the bindings for equivalent performance for switch as for regular skiing.
5-Cut:
5 different turn radii for a more intuitive and agile ski.
Convex Base :
Convex shape at the tip and heel, raises the side edges, reduces the contact surface with the snow for easier movement and rotation in heavy conditions.
In the words of Eric Pollard : "I spent years in search of a certain feeling, something never experienced before, which would fundamentally change the way the ski slides". The Convex Base is exactly what we were searching for! "
