Features

• Poplar Core: Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, and durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. It enhances performance by providing impressive pop, buttering, and stability. Poplar ensures skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on the downhill and in the park
• Carbon Stringers: Ski light and stable with 8-12 unidirectional carbon strips on either side of the wood core. These are seamlessly woven into the fiberglass, boosting ski stability without adding bulk. Reap the benefits of strength & stiffness throughout the full length of your skis with minimal weight penalty
• Boat Flex: For high-speed stability and maximum pop in aerial maneuvers, the ‘Boat Flex’ ski pattern is unmatched. Featuring a stiffer tip and tail combined with a softer mid-ski section under the binding, it is perfect for those seeking a true freeride master
• Elliptical Sidecut: The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control
• Carbon and Rubber Stomp Pad: A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon/rubber reinforcement underfoot, above the edge, adds strength where it matters most to this performance oriented ski. In addition to protecting the wood core from heavy-duty impact on rails, the carbon and rubber inlay adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, both for you and your skis
• Recycled Materials: Faction is working with production partners to eliminate material waste. They now mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring the same level of quality & durability
• XL 2.5mm Edges: A ski’s edge is critical to its performance and handling. Faction skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They’re built to last
• Full Strength Sidewall: Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds prtective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary
• Anti-Chip Micro-Cap: The Anti-chip Micro-cap protects the ski’s tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro-cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain
