hey NS,
Im looking for a ski that can take a beating. My first pair of skis were the line invaders. are this years line chronics as durable as the invaders? i know there is a new cap wall construction but will that chip because its half cap half sandwich construction. overall how are they?


++K good feedback

Having owned both og chronics and line invaders, i can tell you that chronics are a lot more durable. My line invaders have some core showing but my chronics are in 9/10 condition after two years of skiing on them. I'm not sure how the capwall construction would affect durability but im assuming it's still pretty great

If you are worried about topsheet durability, I have found the Line Capwall to be very durable. My Bacons from last year held up like champs, the Chronics and Blends I've ridden so far this year are also holding up really well. The Chrons are a far better ski than the invader in pretty much all ways too.

Can't speak for this years, but last years held up against tons of rails and skiing across parking lots

all i can say is that we've sold out of chronics at my shop like a million times and have to keep re-ordering. its hands down one of the most popular skis on the market. light, wide, easy to turn/butter/spin, good edge hold, solid mounting plate, good graphic, fatty edge/base... the list goes on and on. cant go wrong with the chron-don

Love my chronics so far. Honestly I think most line skis can take a fair beating. You should see my old old old masterminds. Still in fine working condition after years of rails and urban

I've rode my chronics for 3 seasons and they are still in great condition.

Capwall of the new Chronic mised with our fatty base and edge for bashing makes them much more durable. When any ski is slammed into wood, concrete, rails, rocks over time they'll break down obviously but with our added tech, the Chronic will be great. thanks!
