Product Info
With a 115mm waist and a lightweight yet burly, dual Titanal-reinforced construction, the Faction Dictator 4.0 Skis were made for charging off cliffs into deep, steep, and powdery landings. A long sidecut in the tail provides straightline-worthy stability while the shorter sidecut and rocker in the tip provide a relatively nimble feel when the run outs are spicy. Ski that steep, technical line you've been eyeing for years, float through the fresh, and blast through the afternoon chunder with the authoritative Faction Dictator 4.0 Skis.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Rocker / Flat / Rocker – 380mm rocker in the tip, 2mm underfoot, and 320mm in the tail.
Flex
Stiff Flex – 9/10 - Designed to provide bite and stability in steep terrain and variable snow.
Sidecut
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.
Core
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.
Laminates
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.
Sidewalls
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
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain:
Big Mountain, Powder

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.
