Vision 98 2023
The Vision 98 is a freeride ski from Line. Back on the market for the third time, the Vision 98 has been given a makeover to ensure it remains at the top of its game.
The Vision 98 is the slimmest and most versatile freeride model in the Vision range, which includes the 118, 108 and 98. Above all, it is the brand's lightest men's ski. Its narrower shape and lighter weight make it more effective than its counterparts for freeriding.
All skis in the Vision range are equipped with THC technology. This technology is Line's innovative secret weapon.. The Triple Hybrid Construction technology combines 3 materials (Aramid, Carbon and Fiberglass) and uses their properties to absorb maximum vibrations and provides amazing cushioning, without weighing down the skis. In addition, they are all designed to have the Partly Cloudy Core, an ultra-light and very strong core that provides strength and stability.
They also have a shape similar to the Sick Day 94, and a more consistent double rocker (9-2-7) for more downhill versatility. They also feature a wider sidecut and a more flex construction for a playful and enjoyable ski compared to what we are used to seeing for light touring.
Whether you're freetouring or freeriding, the Vision 98 will delight lovers of versatility wanting to every discover nook and cranny of the mountains. They are light when climbing, powerful when descending and perfect for backcountry lines!

Technologies:
THC ™construction:
A combination of three materials, aramid, carbon and fibreglass, which have different vibration frequencies and provide cushioning to the skis regardless of the terrain or speed.
Sidewall:
Ultra-high-density polyethylene walls at the edges absorb vibration for maximum durability, giving a feeling of stability
Thin Tip:
The core has been lightened and the edges thinned out.
Early Rise
The rise of the tip and tail starts sooner as the skis' profile moves away from the centre, making turning easier and helping to keep the skis stable. It also means effortless flotation in softer snow!
Early Taper
The widest point of the sidecut comes in sooner in the tip and tail, reducing powdering and providing stability.
Directional Flex:
The softer tip allows for easy pivoting and float while the stiffer tail provides power, stability and control at high speed.
5-Cut
5 different turns radiuses for a more intuitive and agile pair of skis.
Actuellement on voit beaucoup de skis très légers sur le marché mais avec un construction très rigide et on comportement strict.
Le Vision 98 est vraiment le ski qu'on attendait pour intégrer cette catégorie des super-légers mais en restant avant tout un ski hyper joueur pour tracer des lignes de folie en descente. A l'aise en poudre et dans les airs, un bon rocker sur le tail pour des réceptions impeccables en switch. 100% sensations, 100% plaisir, on est chez Line après tout !
Monté freerando, la montagne vous appartient !
Les Plus : ultra-léger, joueur et fun
Les Moins : R.A.S
