Product Info
If it's good enough for Olympian Devin Logan, chances are it's good enough for you. The fully symmetrical Faction Ambit Skis are designed for those long days lapping the jumpline and sessioning rails thanks to its medium flex and symmetrical design. If you want to perfect those 540s and finally grease that S-rail, you'll need a tank of a ski to withstand the abuse. The quick turning, cap-constructed Faction Ambit Skis offer the stability you need without feeling overbearing, and the tried-and-true durability and pop of Poplar and Beech through the core.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 10 mm of rocker over 150 mm in the tip, 5 mm of camber underfoot, 5 mm of rocker over 100 mm in the tail.
Flex
Medium Flex – Versatile flex that is both stable and playful.
Shape
Symmetrical Shape – Designed to handle identically forward and switch.
Core
Poplar / Beech Core
Sidewalls
Cap Construction – Unibody construction is slightly less expensive per ski, but complicated to setup. Still using wood cores the cap construction technique removes the sidewalls to save weight and materials. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.
Base
Printed PTEX 4000 Base – Used on most of Faction skis. Sintered PTEX 4000 base material is more porous and holds wax better.
Graphics
Gloss Topsheet – Thicker and harder than previous topsheets, ICP8210 has a natural high-gloss finish which avoids the need for lacquer and helps the ski look better for longer. Better for the workers in the factory and better for the environment. A small but highly impactful change.

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

Terrain
Park & Pipe Park and pipe skis, often called freestyle skis, are for skiers who spend the majority of their time on jumps, rails, and jibs of all kinds. Traditionally park and pipe skis have narrower waists with full camber profiles, but this category is incorporating more rocker patterns and different shapes. You will almost always find these skis with twin tips as well as other park specific features like thicker, more durable edges, dense extruded bases, and butter zones.

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

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.

Turning Radius:
Short

Turning Radius
Short < 16 m radius is best for carving.
- Core/Laminates: Wood

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
