...The Honey Badger is the go-to ski for park, freestyle & jibbing all over the mountain. Handrails, bonks, hard landings, it doesn’t care. It can take it all & it won’t break your bank in the process. If you’re after a super-playful, jibby ski that is lightweight for quick movements & style in your tricks, then Honey Badger is going to be the one. An Aspen Veneer Core uses aspen stringers to create a lightweight, snappy & engaged feel. This works perfectly with the Carbon Ollieb&, pre-stretched carbon stringers running down the ski centre for added pop & play. The flex is soft, making it ideal for butters & presses, but thanks to the quality build & decent camber underfoot it still feels good on jumps. To ensure it feels as good switch as it does skiing forward, Line use a symmetric flex, giving it the same feel in front & behind & the binding. The 5 Cut Multi Radius Sidecut blends 5 different radii so that the ski is comfortable in a variety of turns & keeps an intuitive feel. Any ski that is aimed at jibbing & playing-about needs to be tough, & just because the Honey Badger is light doesn’t mean that Line have skimped on the durability. In fact the opposite is true. 4D Fibrecap construction uses 4 directions of fibreglass, woven across the top of the core for added durability, & a cap construction for toughness. The Fatty Base & edge employ a 30% thicker base & edges, giving a 1.7mm thick base & 2mm wide edges that are 2.5mm high, meaning better resistance to potential damage & a longer tuning life. essential for this kind of ski. This is a ski that will perfectly suit park or urban skiers, meaning it is ideal for dome & dryslope regulars wanting a light, tough & fun ski, for jibs, jumps & rails, more so than many freestyle skis that are bigger & heavier. It won’t suit an all mountain skier as it doesn’t have the grip on hard snow or the width for powder seekers, but it will make the right choice for skiers looking for something park specific with light handling & a poppy feel.
