Line Traveling Circus Binding mount??

So I bought these skis hoping to centre mount the bindings. It's the first pair of skis I will have centre mounted bindings on so I'm a little confused to as why the marking that says CENTRE isn't completely central.

For messing around in the park, do I mount them on that point or is there another "true centre point" further forwards?

Trust the mark, even if it's not absolute true center, it's probably where they will ride best.

Thanks, I'll take your advice but of course more opinions are appreciated.

Sometimes Line does that with their skis. I have the 2015 TC's and I put one ski backwards next to the forward facing ski and its maybe 4 mm difference, but it's not much. You won't even notice the difference. My friend has a pair of the 2014 Blends, and what says center is actually a little further back, but it doesn't make much of a difference at all.

Yeah I sat mine forward n backward to see the centre. Again on the TC 2015.
So that 4mm... Could I mount them true centre n not notice the 4mm forward.

I would just mount them where it says center on the ski because honestly that's probably where it rides best and neither you nor anyone else will notice a difference with how it looks or rides.

If you're using them for park, take them to the shop and ask for true center.
The center mark on your skis is just the core center.

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO THIS

the topsheet is probably printed a bit off from center. Measure the actual center and mount them their if they are going to be park skis

A misprint like that would probably be considered a blem and not be sold publicly.

Pretty much every ski I've had has had discrepancies between the two center lines, not more then a cm but enough to definitely make a difference. It's always best to measure it out yourself and know exactly where your want them to go.

Are you guys measuring form the recommended because mine true center is the same when I put them next to each other in different directions

No I put mine back to back and there was a tiny difference at center but nothing that I'd notice while riding them. Maybe it's a manufacturing flaw

So there is recommended mounting then there is centre marked on the ski.


But the "centre" isn't the very centre

I've never trusted the mark on a topsheet, always measure yourself.
