Faction Studio 1 Flat Ski 2025

Faction Studio 1 2025 Freestyle Skis

The Faction Studio 1 is a symmetrical twin-tip freestyle ski built for terrain park laps, switch skiing and precise trick execution. With a 90 mm waist, a poplar and ash wood core, and carbon stringers, it balances lightweight agility with the strength and stability needed for committed landings.

From lining up a jump to riding away switch, the Studio 1 combines a playful feel with dependable edge hold. Subtle tip and tail rocker and pronounced camber support control, while reinforced construction helps protect the skis through repeated park sessions.

Key Features

• Symmetrical twin-tip shape: Matching tip and tail dimensions support smooth switch skiing and freestyle progression.
• Poplar and ash wood core: Balances flex, pop and vibration absorption for buttering and stable park performance.
• Carbon stringers: Unidirectional carbon strips woven into the fiberglass add strength and stiffness with minimal additional weight.
• Carbon and rubber stomp pad: A 600 mm-long, 15 mm-wide underfoot inlay reinforces the binding area and absorbs vibration on heavy landings.
• XL 2.5 mm edges: Durable edges built to withstand repeated use.
• 7 mm XL Full Strength sidewall: Supports edge hold while protecting the wood core, edges and topsheet from impacts.
• Elliptical sidecut: A longer radius underfoot supports easier pivots, while shorter radii toward the tip and tail help initiate turns.
• Anti-Chip Micro-Cap: Protects the topsheet-to-sidewall transition at the tips and tails against chipping and wear.
• Boat Flex: Stiffer tips and tails combine with a softer section under the binding to support stability and pop.
