Product Info

The Faction Dancer 79 Skis are Faction's first ever pure piste skis built for riders who live for perfectly groomed corduroy. They feature minimal rocker, classic parabolic shaping, and a Titanal powered layup that delivers unrelenting grip and stability on hardpack. With a touch of freeski soul wrapped in a progressive design, the Dancer 79 proves that the frontside is where the real action is.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Rocker - Camber - Rocker

Flex

Flex Rating8 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)

Mustache FlexThis flex works best for most skiers. Enjoy stability in front of and behind the binding area to provide solid edge hold. Then, we transition to smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris on the mountain. This flex allows for an easier turn initiation and finish.

Sidecut

Elliptical SidecutElliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions.

Shape

Progressive Flat TailInnovative design, which blends the turn stability and speed of a traditional flat tail shape with a generous amount of perfectly calculated tail rocker, engineered to reward pivots and slashes. Stable to ski at high speeds, playful and easy to initiate turns at lower speeds – this shape exceeds expectations

Core

Lightweight Poplar Wood CorePoplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like an all-mountain freestyle ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill.

Laminates

Dual Span TitanalTwo sheets of Titanal add stability, power and dampness to the ride

Anti-Chip Micro CapMicro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With microcap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile joint that can be prone to chipping.

Sidewalls

Full Strength SidewallA construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet.

Base

Sintered UHMW Base

Edges

XL 2.5mm EdgesFractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges add an extra 25% of height to Faction's standard 2mm edge, making for a stronger and more durable ski.

Binding Compatibility

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