SYMMETRICAL TWIN
PRODUCT FEATURES
POPLAR CORE
Poplar, a light, durable softwood, provides flex, pop, and vibration absorption. It enables all-mountain freestyle skiing, combining pop and have enough torsional stability for a solid downhill grip.
FULL CARBON WEAVE
Between 8-12 carbon strips sandwiched on either side of the woodcore enhance ski stability without extra bulk. Woven into fiberglass for full-length strength and stiffness.
CARBON AND RUBBER STOMP PAD
A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon/rubber reinforcement underfoot, above the edge. In addition to protecting the wood core from heavy-duty impact on rails, the carbon and rubber inlay adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots.
SUSTAINABLE WOOD CORES
Faction's poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near their European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances.
XL 2.5MM EDGES
The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 25% of height on top of Faction's already super-durable standard 2.0mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
FULL STRENGTH SIDEWALL
A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the woodcore and edges.
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, the shorter radius result in easier turn initiation.
ANTI-CHIP MICRO-CAP
Micro-cap is a hybrid of premium sandwich sidewall fused with durable lightweight cap construction. Provides strong edge hold, torsional stability, and protects joint prone to chipping.
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.
HIGH RESISTANCE TOPSHEET
Faction uses the highest quality topsheet material available, and test it rigorously to ensure it stands up to regular abuse. Sourced near their factories in Europe for a friendlier supply chain.
