Faction Studio 1 Men's Skis 25/26

Built with a poplar and ash core, Studio 1 provides an impeccable mix of lightness and stiffness, ensuring quick response and excellent control on landings. The carbon stringers add torsional stiffness without increasing weight, providing a solid, precise feel in every maneuver. For maximum durability, the area under the bindings includes a carbon plate with a rubber insert, which absorbs impact shocks and protects the ski's structure during hard landings.

The fully symmetrical shape allows switch skiing with the same stability and fluidity as in the normal stance, while 7 mm XL sidewalls ensure firm edge grip and increased protection for the wood core. The result is a powerful, durable and balanced ski, ideal for those seeking progress, style and performance in the park.

Ideal for: freestyle skiers who prioritize precision, stability and durability in the halfpipe, on kickers or during creative snowpark sessions.


Technologies

Poplar Core
The core made from poplar wood provides an excellent combination of low weight, elasticity and strength. This soft but durable material ensures efficient vibration absorption and quick response in turns. Natural flex and edge stability make poplar the ideal choice for consistent performance in the park, on the slopes or in light freeride.

Carbon Stringers
Integrated into the ski's structure are unidirectional carbon strips positioned on both sides of the wood core. These increase torsional stiffness and stability at high speed without adding significant weight. The result is a lightweight but precise and powerful ski, with excellent control along its full length.

Boat Flex
The profile of Boat flex provides stability at speed and explosive energy in jumps. The stiffer tip and tail ensure support on landings, while the softer area under the bindings allows cushioning and control in the air. Ideal for freestyle skiers seeking a balance between pop and stability.

Elliptical Sidecut
The design Elliptical Sidecut combines a long radius underfoot for quick, controlled turns with shorter radii in the tip and tail for easy turn initiation. This innovative geometry provides maximum versatility, allowing fluid adaptation between short and wide turns depending on the terrain.

Carbon & Rubber Stomp Pad
Under the binding mounting area, an insert made from carbon and rubber 600 mm long ensures additional strength and protects the wood core on hard landings. This plate adds stability and vibration absorption, reducing impact on the legs and extending the ski's lifespan.

Recycled Materials
Faction uses recycled materials in the production process, reducing waste and carbon emissions. Base, sidewall and topsheet scraps are reintroduced into the manufacturing process, maintaining the same high quality and durability standards.

XL 2.5mm Edges
The edges XL 2.5 mm are 25% wider than the industry standard, providing superior durability and better grip on hard snow or ice. The robust construction extends the ski's life even in intense park or all-mountain conditions.

Full Strength Sidewall
The construction Full Strength Sidewall adds protective strips along the core, providing excellent edge stability and protecting the wood, edges and topsheet from impacts or wear. This structure increases durability and consistency of performance over time.

Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
The system Anti-Chip Micro-Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from chipping and damage. This fine edge where the topsheet meets the sidewall is specially reinforced to withstand impact and friction, maintaining the ski's appearance and integrity season after season.
