Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 10 mm rocker in the tip / 2 mm camber underfoot / 5 mm rocker in the tail

Flex Rating: 2.5 / 5 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)

Symmetrical Sidecut – The same width at the tip and tail gives these skis a generous, symmetrical sidecut which translates to a shorter turn radius and snappy feeling between turns.

Poplar / Ash Core – Poplar is a medium-weight, damp, vibration-absorbing softwood. Ash is a heavier hardwood that compliments the Poplar by increasing stiffness, responsiveness and providing a solid base for the binding screws.

Triaxial Fibreglass – Fibreglass is used in two different formats to aid the compressional strength of the core and ensure long-lasting pop.

Carbon Reinforcing – Carbon layer used to provide additional strength to the core against use on rails.

Sandwich Construction – Used on most Faction skis. A traditional manufacturing method that provides strength, durability, good grip and edge hold. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.

Die-Cut PTEX 4000 – Used on most Faction skis. Sintered PTEX 4000 base material is more porous and holds wax better than PTEX 2000.

1.8 mm Edges – Used on 99% of Faction's skis, the 1.8 mm hardened steel edges are strong and dependable.

Matte ICP8210 Topsheet – Matte ICP8210 topsheets require no lacquering saving around 100 gm/pair, and reduces the use of not-quite-environmentally friendly lacquer. It also shows through the natural structure of the underlying laminate layers.

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
