Faction Mana 4 Skis 2023 177 cm $309.99 ~~$949.00~~

Faction Mana 4 Skis 2023

The fattest of the fats in the Faction paddock at 119 millimeters underfoot, the Faction Mana 4 Skis are surprisingly nimble underfoot considering their girth, and lend themselves to the most creative and playful styles in the deepest conditions. The Mana 4 is laid up around a Paulownia-Poplar core with a full Carbon Weave construction for a light but poppy feel and easy handling in variable snow. Face it, a powder day is a rare gift, and "Mana from Heaven" should be on your menu on such a day.

Product Details

Rocker Type:

Rocker-Flat-Rocker: Tip Rocker: 177 = 400mm, 184 = 420mm, 190 = 435mm | Camber: All Sizes = 0 | Tail Rocker: 177 = 365mm, 184 = 380mm, 190 = 392mm

Flex:

Flex Rating: 8 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)

Boat Flex: Boat flex combines a stiffer tip and tail to help settle the skis at speed, with a softer mid section, for big-time pop on request.

Sidecut:

Mana Stance: With regards to the Mana Series, the narrowest point of the ski is the center of the radius, which happens to be the most intuitive place from which to initiate pivoting of the supernatural freestyle variety. Mounting here also works wonders for carving and popping off the back and front of your skis.

Elliptical Sidecut: Elliptical 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:

Mana Progressive Twin Shape: This shape is inspired by symmetrical freestyle ski design, but tweaked for a freeride approach. A slightly skinnier tail width than tip width means this ski is faster and performs better on the downhill than a completely symmetrical ski. It keeps the identical twin tip height for switch skiing and landings. Moderately tapered tips and tails are complemented by an elliptical radius sidecut for efficient, precise handling and carving. A combination of generous rocker and modest camber results in a wonderfully playful character, injecting new energy into an otherwise routine day on the mountain. We designed the Mana shape for the increasingly popular category of high-performance all-mountain skis with freestyle flair.

Tip Height: 71mm

Tail Height: 65mm

Core:

Lightweight Paulownia-Poplar Wood Core

Laminates:

Full Carbon Weave: Between 8 and 12 strips of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding weight to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski.

Sidewalls:

Microcap Full Strength Sidewall: Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, 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.

Additional Features:

Bio-Based Resin

Recycled Materials

Binding Compatibility:

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

Drill Bit: 4.1 x 9mm
