Faction Nine5 Skis 2017

There's a magical place in Vermont where the lifts turn slow, there's no such thing as snow making, and the illustrious Single Chair liftline is the ultimate proving ground. When things are blown out and you're relegated to the clear-cut swaths of Mad River's designated trails, you'll want a stiff, hard-charging, directional ski to prove your worth. Enter the Faction Nine5 Skis; with a touch of rocker in the tip and tail, a sheet of Titanal, and a dual radius design, you'll be able to tackle those massive moguls, air into chunder, and grip with confidence amidst the chairlift catcalls and hollywood hits, from Vermont to Verbier, the West Coast and everywhere in between.

Product Details

Rocker Type:
Rocker / Camber / Rocker: 10 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:
Stiff Flex: 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.
Shape:
Transition Zone Technology: Faction'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. Transition Zone Technology
Core:
Poplar / Beech Core
Laminates:
Titanal Layer: Titanal has the same properties in all directions and excellent dampening properties. Faction skis with Titanal have excellent torsional strength and responsiveness.
Sidewalls:
Sandwich Construction: Used on most of Faction's skis. A traditional manufacturing method that provides strength, durability, good grip, and edge hold. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core. Sandwich Construction
Base:
Die-Cut PTEX 4000 Base: Used on most Faction Skis. Sintered PTEX 4000 base material is more porous and holds wax well. Die-Cut PTEX 4000 Base
Graphics:
Brushed Topsheet
Binding Compatibility:
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
