Details
Ski Shape: Freeride flat tail - Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns. Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn into a slarve and won’t hook up in fresh conditions.
The "Mustache Flex" offers stability underfoot for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you
Rocker Type: Rocker - Camber - Rocker - Tip: 310mm / Camber: 4mm / Tail: 180mm
Flex Rating: 7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)
Core: Lightweight Karuba - Karuba is an extremely lightweight wood core with excellent strength properties. Karuba provides beautiful flex and vibration absorption without adding bulk, making it an ideal wood core for a touring ski that performs just as well on the uphill as on the downhill.
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.
Sidecut: Elliptical Sidecut – Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski.
Sidewalls: Full Strength Sidewall – A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet.
Anti-Chip Micro Cap - protects the tips and tails from wear and tear
Base: Sintered UHMW Base
Edges: XL 2.5mm Edges – Fractions of a milimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges add an extra 25% of height to Faction's standard 2mm edge, making for a stronger and more durable ski.
