Any info on these S-bounds?

Post by Telecat » Mon Sep 27, 2021 12:32 pm

Was just perusing Ebay and saw these s-bounds. But I can't find any info on them.

The seller claims they are 2022 model, but thats obviously not true, seems like they got them from an auction.

Just been thinking about getting a more groomed trail/track oriented ski than my E99 and ingstads

The sidecut seems similar the current Adventure 62.

Im also just noticing that there are no metal edges. Id probably only buy if he came down a lot in price

I hope this is helpful. I think these are the same skis that someone called "Fischer S-Bound Adventure's (60-50-54/189cm) " here:

The author says the skis "were always a disappointment".

I am going to take a wild guess and say these skis are the ancestors of what is today marketed as the "Fischer Adventure 62 Crown". I certainly could be wrong. The dimensions are not the same.

Those are what I started skiing on last year. They were gifted to me by someone who is probably 165lbs, and for some reason they are just 179cm. They are still in my garage all shredded up.

To put it in context he says "they were always a disappointment, they just weren't beefy enough... I went about trying to buy some fatter skis". So it sounds more like a case not using them how they were intended to be used. They're just a XC ski without metal edges.
