Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 325mm rocker in the tip, 2mm camber underfoot, and 310mm rocker in the tail.

Medium-Stiff Flex – 6/10 - Stable at speed or on big landings, but still playful enough to butter and press.

Symmetrical Shape – Designed to handle identically forward and switch.

Poplar/Beech Wood Core – Great hold on hard snow with a light and snappy feel.

Carbon Reinforcement Underfoot

Sandwich Construction – Used on most of Faction's 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.

Micro-Cap Protection – Continuing efforts to improve chip-resistance in their skis, Faction incorporated a 'micro' cap where the topsheet meets the sidewall on sandwich constructed skis.

Die-Cut PTEX 3000 Base – Used on most Faction Skis. Sintered PTEX 3000 base material is more porous and holds wax well.

Matte Textured Topsheet – Matte ICP8210 topsheets require no lacquering saving around 100gm/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.
