Product Description
Built for riders who live in the terrain park, the Studio 1 pairs a poplar/ash core with carbon stringers to deliver lightweight snap without sacrificing landing stability. A perfectly symmetrical twin shape makes switch skiing feel as natural as forward, while the Studio Stance mounting point puts the pivot exactly where freestyle skiing demands it. For park-focused skiers who want a responsive, durable platform for rails, jumps and everything in between.
Product Details
| Core | Poplar / Ash Core: a mix of poplar softwood and ash hardwood. Poplar flexes and pops with excellent vibration absorption; ash adds stiffness and durability. Together they provide solid edge hold on hard snow, a reliable base for stomping landings, and enough pop and flex to get creative. |
| Carbon Stringers | Between 8 and 12 unidirectional carbon bands woven on each side of the core into the fiberglass layers, running the full length of the ski. Adds torsional rigidity and stability without extra weight. |
| Edges | XL 2.5MM Edges: steel edges 2.5 mm thick, 25% heavier than standard 2.0 mm edges, for greater impact resistance and extended lifespan. |
| Stomp Pad | Carbon/Rubber Stomp Pad: a 600 mm x 15 mm reinforcement strip positioned under the binding area, above the edge. Protects the core on rail impacts; the carbon and rubber combination adds stability and vibration absorption underfoot. |
| Sidewall | Full Strength Sidewall: protective material running along both sides of the core between the edge and the topsheet. Improves edge hold and turn stability, and shields the core, edges, and topsheet from impacts. |
| Shape | Symmetrical Twin Tip: perfectly symmetrical tip and tail geometry, optimized for switch skiing in the park and halfpipe. |
| Flex Pattern | Mustache Flex: progressive flex with stable zones in front of and behind the binding (edge hold) and progressive flex at tip and tail (bump and debris absorption). Facilitates turn initiation and completion. |
| Mounting | Studio Stance: the narrowest point of the ski equals the center of the sidecut radius, placing the pivot point exactly where freestyle skiing is most intuitive. Also suited for carving and popping. In 26/27, the reference mark moves from topsheet to sidewall for a cleaner single reference point. |
| Topsheet | Matte finish. |
| Drill | 4.1 x 9 mm |

Studio 1 Skis 2027 FAQ
I mostly ski park and pipe — is the Studio 1 the right ski for that?
Yes. The Studio 1 is Faction's dedicated terrain park twin-tip, designed with input from their pro athlete team. It has a 90 mm waist, a symmetrical twin shape, and a 4 mm camber underfoot for edge hold and pop on landings. At flex 7, it has enough backbone for stomping big airs without being punishing on smaller features.
I'm worried about the ski core cracking after hard landings — what's protecting it?
The Studio 1 has a Carbon/Rubber Stomp Pad: a 600 mm long, 15 mm wide reinforcement strip placed directly underfoot, above the edge. The carbon layer adds structural strength, and the rubber absorbs vibration from heavy landings. It is specifically designed to protect the poplar/ash core from rail and jump impacts across a full season of park riding.
Are these tough enough for rails and boxes, or will the edges and tips chip quickly?
The Studio 1 uses XL 2.5 mm edges — 25% thicker than the standard 2.0 mm — which resist impact damage and last longer before needing sharpening. The Full Strength Sidewall runs the full length of the ski, protecting the core, edges, and topsheet from side impacts. Both are meaningful upgrades for heavy park use.
What mounting position should I use in the park?
Faction offers three positions on the Studio 1. Newschool (+3 cm forward of factory) gives a centered, symmetrical twin feel with maximum playfulness for switch tricks. Progressive (+1.5 cm) balances park versatility with carving. Classic (factory line) gives the most stability and edge hold. Most park riders start at Newschool or Progressive.
What sizes does the Studio 1 come in, and how do I choose?
The Studio 1 comes in 164 cm (1480 g/ski), 171 cm (1560 g/ski), 178 cm (1630 g/ski), and 183 cm (1680 g/ski). For park skiing, many riders go slightly shorter than their normal all-mountain length for quicker spin and easier jib maneuvers. A ski reaching chin to nose height is a common reference; go shorter for jib focus, longer for big air and half pipe.
Do bindings come included with the Studio 1?
No, bindings are sold separately. The Studio 1 is a flat ski with a 4.1 x 9 mm drill pattern, which is compatible with standard adult alpine bindings. Your shop will mount them at your chosen position: Newschool, Progressive, or Classic.
