Product Info

Save your fat skis for the deep days and dive in to the rail jam on a pair of Faction Soma Skis, and start getting creative. Press out your butters, rock up on the tails, spin like a champ. Even if you don't aspire to be the next internet famous personality, the Faction Soma Skis offer the high quality construction -- thanks to a hybrid cap/sidewall construction -- and all-mountain versatility you need to turn the whole mountain into your personal playground.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Rocker / Camber / Rocker10 mm of rocker over 200 mm in the tip, 2 mm of camber underfoot, 5 mm of rocker over 100 mm in the tail.

Flex

Medium-Stiff FlexStable at speed or on big landings, but still playful enough to butter and press.

Sidecut

Dual Radius SidecutBorrowed from world cup race skis, two different radii on the one ski -- a tighter radius forward of the boot center coupled with a 20% larger sidecut behind -- lets Faction increase the edge-to-edge responsiveness so you can carve short turns whilst retaining high speed stability and control through the tail of the ski.

Shape

Transition Zone TechnologyFaction's "Blended Transition Zones" use complex curve geometries where both positive/negative sidecut and where rocker/camber meet to make turn initiation fluid yet the whole ski more stable and controllable in all conditions.

Core

Poplar / Beech Core

Sidewalls

Cap ConstructionUnibody construction is slightly less expensive per ski, but complicated to setup. Still using wood cores the cap construction technique removes the sidewalls to save weight and materials. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.

Base

Die-Cut PTEX 4000 BaseUsed on most Faction Skis. Sintered PTEX 4000 base material is more porous and holds wax well.

Binding Compatibility

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