Looking for a frontside ski that eats blue ice and crud for breakfast? Then the Faction Dictator 1.0 Skis are your answer. Laid up with two layers of Titanal metal that sandwich the lightweight Paulownia/Poplar core, the Dictator 1.0 Skis live to go fast and lay trenches in the hardpack. A World Cup inspired dual-radius sidecut allows these skis to retain a quick edge-to-edge responsiveness while also being incredibly stable and controlled at high speeds. For warp speed groomer laps, thigh-burning mogul runs, and off-piste chunder charging, the Faction Dictator 1.0 Skis lay down the law.
Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 360mm rocker in the tip, 3mm camber underfoot, and 200mm rocker in the tail.
Stiff Flex – 7/10 - Designed to provide bite and stability in steep terrain and variable snow.
Dual-Radius Sidecut – Borrowed 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.
Paulownia / Poplar Core – A lightweight wood core with excellent responsiveness and rebound, complimenting and offsetting the two full layers of Titanal metal that they sandwich on either side of it.
Dual Titanal – Equally strong in all directions, Titanal's strength and isotropic qualities mean that the ski loves being on edge, blasts through bumps and feels stable even in changeable snow.
Microcap Construction – Sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold while the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, adding durability to the fragile join that can be prone to chipping.
Brushed Topsheet
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
