Fischer S-Bound 98 Crown/Dual Skin Xtralite 2027

Built for skiers who want to tour efficiently and still enjoy confident turns in the backcountry, the Fischer S-Bound 98 Crown/Dual Skin Xtralite offers a versatile blend of glide, grip, and downhill control. A lightweight Paulownia wood core helps reduce weight for longer tours, while the deep sidecut and Nordic rockered tip make the ski easier to steer in variable snow and rolling terrain.

The Offtrack Crown waxless pattern provides dependable grip for everyday touring, while Dual Skin compatibility adds another level of versatility for steeper climbs. Skiers can supplement the crown pattern with either a mid-base Easy Skin 65 or a full-length Super Skin for added traction when the route gets more demanding. From rolling backcountry tours to adventurous off-track descents, the S-Bound 98 is built to help skiers explore farther with confidence.
