Newschoolers' Quick Review:

The Sir Francis Bacon is BACK! Don't get me wrong, I liked the version of this ski that ran from 2015-2018 but it wasn't a true SFB, and this new ski most certainly is. Soft in the tips/tails (not Blend soft but softer than most) and with convex tips, these are butter/surf machines. They are just about light enough to spin round on most features, despite the monster 143mm tips and I managed to ski park on them, despite them being long for me too in a 184. The short sidecut rips, they are nice and poppy and most-importantly, the Bacon feels "fun-first" again. You do want to ski them long though, at 174cm tall, I skied the 176 and they felt super soft and I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable skiing all mountain on that size. Even in a bigger size, they don't really hold up to charging too well, but that isn't what the Bacon is meant to be about. These are a super fun, play-oriented all mountain/pow ski, that's easily light enough to tour on. If you miss the older Sir Francis Bacons, this one is for you. - Twig
