The 2027 Line Bacon Shorty with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a youth-sized version of Line's all-mountain freestyle Bacon line, packing an aspen core and symmetric twin tip shape into a kid-friendly platform. A wide waist and playful flex pattern give young skiers a real Bacon experience in a length range that actually fits. We paired the Bacon Shorty with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

Most kids' skis at this age are watered-down adult skis or skinny carving shapes. This one is a real Bacon, just shorter, with the same all-mountain freestyle DNA and the same playful personality, sized for shredders who have not hit their growth spurt.

Who it's for:

Junior skiers, intermediate through advanced, who want to slash powder, butter groomers, and ride switch the way they see their parents and the Line athletes do it. Best for kids in the ten to fourteen age range who are progressing fast.

Highlights:

The standout dimension is a 107 mm waist, genuinely wide for a junior platform, and that is exactly the point: junior skiers who want to play in soft snow, slash side hits, and ride switch get the surface area to do it. An aspen core gives the ski a snappy, alive feel that works well at junior weights, and the symmetric flex pattern is what makes it playful in the way young freestyle skiers want. Rocker is balanced equally for switch riding and forward skiing, and a quick turn shape suits junior speeds and skill levels. The available lengths cover the typical junior progression nicely. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

Freestyle ski first, so junior skiers still learning basic carving technique may benefit more from a narrower frontside-focused junior ski. Kids who spend their days on hardpack will find the extra surface area more than they need.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Junior sizing applies, so pick the length matching the skier's height and weight using standard junior guidelines from your local shop, keeping in mind that the rockered tips and tails make this shape run a bit long.
