Studio 1 Skis
Sold out
The Faction Studio 1 was designed in collaboration with Faction’s stacked freestyle athlete roster to engineer a park specific freestyle ski that delivers precision performance with effortless, oozing style. Featuring a poplar and ash core for the ideal blend of lightweight spring and rigid power while the carbon reinforcement under the binding area help withstand heavy stomps. The symmetrical shape allows for effortless switch skiing, while the carbon weave provides torsional strength without added bulk and the 7mm XL sidewall delivered supreme edge hold and protection of the wood core.
Features
• Terrain: Park & Pipe
• Ability: Advanced, Expert
• Poplar Core: Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight and durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. It enhances performance by providing impressive pop, buttering and stability. Poplar ensures skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on the downhill and in the park
• Full Carbon Weave: Ski light and stable with 8-12 unidirectional carbon strips on either side of the wood core. These are seamlessly woven into the fiberglass, boosting ski stability without adding bulk. Reap the benefits of strength & stiffness throughout the full length of your skis with minimal weight penalty
• Carbon And Rubber Stomp Pad: A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon & rubber inlay adds strength where it matters most. Protecting not only the wood core from heavy-duty impacts, it adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, both for you and your skis
• Recycled Materials: We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability
• Locally Sourced Materials: To reduce the impact of our production supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based close our factories. Reduce distance, reduce emissions, reduce impact
• Sustainable Wood Cores: Our poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near our European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances
• 100% Renewable Energy Factory: Our skis are crafted in a state-of-the-art facility powered entirely by renewable electricity and heated with biomass energy. By eliminating oil use, our production process cuts millions of kilograms of CO₂ emissions annually. Eco-friendly performance with every run
• XL 2.5mm Edges: A ski's edge is critical to its performance and handling. Our skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They're built to last
• Full Strength Sidewall: Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary
• Elliptical Sidecut: The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots and shorter radii in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control
• Anti-Chip Micro-Cap: The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain
• Boat Flex: For high-speed stability and maximum pop in aerial maneuvers, the Boat Flex ski pattern is unmatched. Featuring a stiffer tip and tail combined with a softer mid-ski section under the binding, it is perfect for those seeking a true freeride master
• High Resistance Topsheet: We use the highest quality topsheet material available and we test it rigorously to ensure it stands up to regular abuse. Sourced near our factories in Europe for a friendlier supply chain
• Shape(Symmetrical Twin): A symmetrical twin-tip shape, subtle tip and tail rocker and pronounced camber offers riders optimal precision and edge hold
• Handmade in Austria
