The 2027 Line Optic 104 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the most versatile freeride ski in the Optic Collection, delivering all-mountain authority with a freestyle twist. An aspen veneer core, chevron-shaped titanal layup, and refined rocker profile combine for a ski that charges big-mountain laps and cruises corduroy with equal confidence. We paired the Optic 104 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive is the construction story defining the Optic line. That chevron-shaped titanal layout delivers the edge grip and stability of a metal-laminate ski without the dead, dull feel one usually brings, and this is the most balanced expression of the philosophy.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert freeride skiers who want a one-quiver-leaning ski that handles serious terrain and daily resort skiing alike. A great call for skiers who like the stability of metal but want freestyle-tinged personality.

Highlights:

Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive is the headline: a chevron-shaped titanal piece running underfoot and expanding into the forebody and tail, providing real edge grip and stability without the heavy feel of full-sheet titanal. An aspen veneer core is the starting point, giving a snappy, alive feel that contrasts with the deadness of many metal-laminate freeride skis. The rocker profile stays moderate, forgiving enough in variable snow yet cambered enough underfoot for real edge contact when you tip the ski over. A 104 mm waist is the sweet spot for an all-mountain freeride ski, wide enough for storm days and chop but narrow enough to feel manageable on groomers, and the turn shape is happy making medium to long arcs and cruising at speed, which is exactly what this ski was built for. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

This width is wider than ideal for skiers who mostly stay on groomers. If your home mountain is more about hardpack and corduroy, the Optic 96 or 88 is a better fit. There is freeride-leaning weight here too, so skiers who want something lighter and quicker may find it substantial.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Lengths are true to size and standard sizing applies, so skiers who want more stability in chop and at speed can go up while those who prioritize quickness can drop one.
