5 mm Camber – Maximum rebound and quick turn initiation.

Medium Flex – A comfortable flex for intermediates through expert skiers.

Short Turning Radius – Quick and nimble edge-to-edge.

Freestyle/All-Mountain Twin

Poplar / Ash Core – Faction's standard core material. 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.

Fibreglass – Laminates like fibreglass are used to compliment the properties of the core material by increasing torsional strength, edge-grip and rebound.

Gloss Lacquered ICP2112 Topsheet – Used on most Faction skis, gloss lacquered ICP2112 topsheets are colourfast and look great. The lacquer is applied to the ski after pressing.

Cap Construction – Still using wood cores, the cap technique removes the sidewall to save weight and materials. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.

Printed Ptex 4000 – Sintered PTEX 4000 base material is more porous and holds wax better.

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

Digital Printing – Used on Faction's core and women's models, digital printing provides greater flexibility for designing complex graphics and requires no setup process, however the colors are not as bright or strong as the silkscreen method.

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