What's with all these rockered park skis? Sometimes you want that real feel, solid popping, edge-gripping ski experience. You want to go fast, air big out of the pipe, and feel comfortable as you're nuking into that 60-foot park table. Enter the Faction Silas Skis. These skis fall on the stiffer side of the spectrum, so when you get a little backseat coming out of that switch 9, you won't fold back. Squat things out, go big, and still have the maneuverability to crush the rail line.
5 mm Camber – Maximum rebound and quick turn initiation.
Stiff – Reliable at high speeds and in choppy conditions.
Short Turning Radius – Quick and nimble edge-to-edge.
Freestyle Twin – Symmetrical construction for incomparable forward and switch riding and landings.
Poplar / Ash Core – Faction's standard core material. Poplar is a medium-weight, damp, vibration-absorbing softwood. Ash is a heavier hardwood that compliments the Poplar by increasing stiffness, responsiveness and providing a solid base for the binding screws.
Fibreglass – Laminates like fibreglass are used to compliment the properties of the core material by increasing torsional strength, edge-grip and rebound.
Carbon Reinforcing – Used to provide additional strength to the core against use on rails.
Gloss Lacquered ICP2112 Topsheet – Used on most Faction skis, gloss lacquered ICP2112 topsheets are colourfast and look great. The lacquer is applied to the ski after pressing.
Sandwich Construction – Used on most Faction 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.
Die-Cut Ptex 4000 – Sintered PTEX 4000 base material is more porous and holds wax better than PTEX 2000.
1.8 mm Edges – Used on 99% of Faction skis, the 1.8 mm hardened steel edges are strong and dependable.
Silkscreen Printing – Used on 90% of Faction skis, silkscreen printing provides bright, strong colours that help our skis pop in-store and on-snow. Unlike the sublimation process used by many competitors, very little waste is created using this method, and water-based inks are used to reduce environmental impacts.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
