The Faction Dictator 4.0 Skis are the big dogs, a pow ski with no speed limit designed to rule freeride comps or just ski like you could. The 115 mm waist and ample tip rocker provide the float, two sheets of Titanal provide the backbone and dampness, and the Paulownia/Poplar core helps keep the weight down. If bottomless deep days, speed and huge drops are in your future, the Dictator 4.0 should be, too.
Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 380 mm tip rocker, 2 mm camber, 320 mm subtle tail rocker
Flex: 9 / 10 – (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)
Dual Radius Sidecut – Offers two different radii along a single edge. In front, a shorter radius provides quick response and control for tighter turns while a longer radius in the tail section is stable at high speeds. The result is a ski that surfs seamlessly between different turn angles and never drags.
Freeride Flat Tail – Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns. Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn into a slarve and won't hook up in fresh conditions.
Surf Zones – Unites rocker and tip taper ensuring these two key features work in harmony. Rocker provides float and facilitates pivoting, while a tapered tip moves the widest part of the ski closer to the center and removes unwanted hooking. Surf Zones promise a floaty, seamless ride in all conditions.
Lightweight Paulownia/Poplar Core – Paulownia is a lightweight hardwood, combined with the softwood Poplar to add some flex and extra pop to the proceedings. The mix of these two woods results in a lightweight core with excellent responsiveness and rebound, complimenting and offsetting the two full layers of Titanal metal that are sandwiched to either side of it.
Dual Span Titanal – Two layers of Titanal aluminum alloy dampens the ride and rewards aggressive skiing.
Full Strength Sidewall Construction with Microcap – Sandwich sidewall construction for power and edgehold, with a topsheet that wraps around and meets the sidewall for durability.
Die-Cut P-Tex 3000
Scratch Resistant Brushed Topsheet
