Faction Studio 2 Skis - Unisex

The Studio 2 is the ultimate versatile all-mountain twin-tip ski with a 102 mm waist, perfect for transitioning from all-mountain to backside to park. This ski effortlessly responds to your movements and commands, with a lightweight poplar core and carbon stringers. It provides excellent pop off booters, smooth butters over rollers, and quick, effortless turns. The integrated carbon/rubber Stomp Pad ensures durability, allowing it to withstand repeated impacts. This ski belongs in your quiver for unparalleled true all-mountain versatility and quality. You'll love this if… You like to hit every feature that you can find (the mountain is your playground) You like to carve tighter style turns You want to be able to go backwards or land switch You prefer a stiffer tip and tail for stability at speed, with flex underfoot to pop

Features
• Profile: Tip and tail rocker + traditional camber, for the perfect blend of high performance edge hold, easy turn initiation, and float in soft snow.
• Poplar & Fiberglass Core: Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like an all-mountain freestyle ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill. It's set between two layers of fiberglass for strength, rigidity and durability.
• Carbon and Rubber Stomp Pads: A carbon/rubber reinforcement underfoot adds strength where it matters most. In addition to protecting the wood core from heavy-duty impacts, it adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so stomping landings feel better; both for you and your skis.
• Elliptical Sidecut: Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radius in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions
• Premium All-Mountain Freeride Twin Tip: The slightly skinnier tail and wider tip lead to superior downhill performance vs a symmetrical twin. Tip & tail height are identical, however, for optimal switch skiing. The generous rocker and modest camber lead to a wonderfully playful character, while the moderate taper and Elliptical Sidecut provide precise handling and carving.

Materials
• Lightweight Poplar: Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like an all-mountain freestyle ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill
• Carbon Stringers: Between 8 and 12 stringers of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding bulk to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski
• XL 2.5mm Edges: XL 2.5 mm edges, compared to 2 mm industry average, built to last
• Sidewall: Full Strength Sidewall
• Boat Flex: Heavy rocker is best complemented by solid, stiffer tips and tails, to help settle the skis and power through variable snow. Additionally, the stiff tips absorb more vibration when skiers touch down after going airborne. Just add a touch more flex underfoot and it allows the skis to load up and POP on request
