Product Description
The Studio Grom FR is the all-mountain freeride passport for young rippers ready to push beyond the groomers. A wider directional twin shape, combined with an Elliptical Sidecut and a rocker-camber-rocker profile, keeps turns intuitive across variable terrain while leaving plenty of room for creativity. The lightweight poplar core and reinforced carbon stringers deliver pop and stability without the penalty of extra grams. Built for young all-mountain freeriders with growing ambitions.
Product Details
| Rocker Type | Tip and tail rocker with camber underfoot (2.5mm). The rocker sections at both ends ease turn initiation and float in soft snow, while the camber underfoot delivers edge grip and rebound. |
| Shape / Sidecut | Directional Twin: tip is wider than tail for forward-focused performance, with a twin-tip tail for freestyle versatility and switch skiing. Elliptical Sidecut provides a longer radius underfoot for fast, easy pivoting and a shorter radius at tip and tail for effortless turn initiation across a wide range of turn lengths. |
| Flex | 7 / 10 |
| Binding Compatibility | Drill: 3.6 x 7 mm |
| Core | Lightweight Poplar Core: ultra-lightweight poplar wood formulated for the Studio and Grom series. Light and energetic, delivers flex, pop, and good vibration absorption. |
| Laminates | Carbon Stringers: 8 to 12 unidirectional carbon bands on each side of the core, woven into the fiberglass. Provide torsional stiffness and stability along the full length of the ski without adding weight. |
| Edges | XL 2.2MM Edges: 2.2mm thick steel edges, enhanced for durability in the youth Grom series. |
| Topsheet | Corund Topsheet |
| Series | Studio Series 26/27, celebrating Faction's 20th anniversary |
Studio Grom Fr Skis 2027 FAQ
My kid rides all over the mountain and is getting into off-piste — is the Grom FR the right pick?
Yes. The Studio Grom FR is Faction's youth all-mountain freeride twin-tip, built for young skiers who explore beyond the groomers. Its directional twin shape (slightly wider tip than tail) and 93 mm waist give it float and freeride attitude, while the rocker-camber-rocker profile keeps turns fluid on any terrain. Flex 7 means it has some backbone for confident young riders.
What's the difference between the Grom FR and the Grom FS?
The Studio Grom FR is a directional twin built for all-mountain freeride: wider waist (93 mm), longer rocker in the tip, and a shape that performs best pointing downhill. The Studio Grom FS is a symmetrical twin with an 81 mm waist, shorter radii, and a softer flex (6), optimized for halfpipe and park. Pick FR for the mountain; pick FS for the pipe and jib features.
Are these skis tough enough for a kid who is hard on gear?
The Studio Grom FR uses XL 2.2 mm edges, thicker than the standard 2.0 mm, for extra resistance to impacts and rock strikes. Carbon Stringers run longitudinally through the fiberglass layers for torsional stiffness without added weight. The construction is the same tier as Faction's adult Studio Series — it is built to take a beating through a full season.
What sizes are available, and how should I pick the right one?
The Studio Grom FR comes in 147 cm and 155 cm. As a general guide, a ski that reaches chin to nose height is a solid starting point for a growing all-mountain freeskier. The 147 cm works for lighter and shorter riders or those who want a more playful, maneuverable feel; the 155 cm suits taller, heavier, or faster-progressing kids.
Do bindings come with these skis?
No, the Studio Grom FR ships as a flat ski. Bindings must be purchased and mounted separately. The drill pattern is 3.6 x 7 mm, which is standard for youth ski bindings — check with your shop to confirm binding compatibility for your child's boot sole length and weight.
