Faction Studio 1 Ski 2027

Description:

The Studio 1 is a best-in-class freestyle ski designed specifically for terrain park enthusiasts. This twin-tip ski is the result of collaboration between our star-studded athlete roster and expert engineers, delivering precision performance with effortless style.

The Studio 1 is perfect for those who settle for nothing less than the “perfect shot” or flawless trick execution. It features a Poplar and Ash core with Carbon Stringers, providing the ideal balance of lightweight agility and rigid power. A carbon-rubber stomp pad under the binding area ensures durability during heavy landings, and its symmetrical shape allows for smooth switch skiing. Additionally, the 7mm XL sidewall offers exceptional edge hold and protects the wood core. Choose the Studio 1 for unmatched performance and style in the terrain park.

Built with carbon - The Studio Series is equipped with carbon fiber to provide premium performance with a feather-like weight. Ski light and stable with 8-12 unidirectional carbon strips on either side of the poplar wood core. Seamlessly woven into the fiberglass, they boost ski stability without adding bulk. Reap the benefits of strength & stiffness throughout the full length of your skis with minimal weight penalty.

Shape and flex pattern - The Studio 2, 3, and 4 use our Progressive Twin for superior downhill power, while the Studio 0 and 1 run a Symmetrical Twin shape for perfect park balance and switch control. Progressive Twin shapes pair a wider tip with a narrower tail for extra stability and bite, while the Symmetrical Twin delivers predictable landings and even flex for spins and technical tricks. Generous rocker, modest camber, and elliptical sidecut technology keeps every model lively, responsive, ready to carve, and delight in the process.

Features:

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.

Carbon stringers - 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.

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.

Elliptical Sidecut - The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius 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.
