Easy Skin Compatible (Skin not Included).Weight: 2090 grams per pair at 179 cm length.Nordic enthusiasts will love the performance and value of the Traverse 78 skis with bindings. With the Fischer Traverse 78 BC skis with bindings, you will be sure that you're on the proper ski gear. When you head out on the trail, the last thing you want to be thinking about is your equipment. Nordic skiing is the perfect way to get exercise while enjoying the outdoors. ![]() When you're heading down, this rocker allows you to turn easier and control your speed even better. They've opened the tip up slightly so that when climbing through soft snow, it stays on top and allows you to easily scale any and all slopes. Rocker has even taken hold in the Nordic world with the Nordic Rocker Camber. Milled into the wood core are air-tec channels that reduce weight even further without lessening performance. These skis even border on the lightweight telemark setup that is super versatile and easy to use.

IMO Fischer nailed the 78s.2019 Fischer Traverse 78 Cross Country Skis with BCX Magnum Bindings They are fast and confidence inspiring and turn well considering how cambered and narrow they are. The skis glide exceptionally well for scaled skis and they track very straight IME. Im skiing the 2019/20 version of the 78s at 199 and I would not consider the NR to be too much. This was a conversation from before you signed on, I believe, you might find interesting. Something happened at Fischer and they really ramped it up, especially on some skis that are tuned to go straight mostly like the T78 and E99. This is the problem with the concept of excessive nordic rocker. This is why I'm always beating people up to go the next length up from Fischer's recs. When you factor in the Nordic rocker there's only a couple inches of effective forward glide zone. I'm glad I didn't go any shorter than the 199. Its crazy to me how short the glide zone is on the 88. (BTW- a 210cm E99 Crown would be my pick if it had a more stable shovel, stiffer, higher tip, and less tip rocker.) In the end- the 78 is my personal pick over the 88. It is faster, lighter and just as good in wet, icy, transformed snow, crap, crud and breakable crust. The 78 is a better XC ski on consolidated snow. The 78 is the ski that I am using- not the 88. So it is the 88 that is not getting any use- at least not from me (it is still getting use from family, friends, and guests). I have MUCH better deep snow XC/XCd/XCD/xcD skis than the 88 (e.g. Over time it is the 88 that has proven to be utterly redundant- because I do not have one ski. If one wants just one BC-XC ski- one ski that is good in all snow conditions- and is on the heavier side- the 88 is more versatile than the 78.
