Balsa D250 Core – Balsa is an exceptionally light hardwood. Laminated vertically together divided by strips of woven flax (aka linseed), to provide additional torsional and compression strength. New D250 series cores for 15/16 are even stronger than 14/15.

Phenol Binding Plates – Phenol is a hard plastic material that secures the binding screws. The one-piece design fits most touring bindings with center screws.

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

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.
