Traditional Camber – Full-length traditional camber gives control and stability on-piste, as well as maximum rebound and quick turn initiation.

Medium-Stiff Flex – Stable, solid ride at speed. Less forgiving than a softer ski.

Full Length Sidecut – Classic, smooth sidecut for full contact when edging in all conditions.

All-Mountain Twin – A wider all-mountain platform that retains a symmetrical shape, ideal for freeriding and backcountry freestyle.

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.

Die-Cut Ptex 2000 – Extruded P-Tex 2000 base material combines performance and value.

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.
