Lightweight Paulownia Core

Paulownia is an ultra-lightweight wood core with excellent strength, offering great flex and vibration absorption without bulk. Perfect for touring skis, Paulownia excels both uphill and downhill. Full Carbon Layers - Two full-length sheets of carbon fiber sandwich the wood core, for a lightweight, yet responsive and torsionally rigid ski. 

Faction Material Recycling – Faction mixes trimmings from the base, sides, and topsheet and returns them to the core production material, reducing carbon emissions while maintaining the same level of quality and durability. Raw materials are sourced from European companies close to their manufacturing plants, reducing the environmental footprint. Eco-Friendly Bio-Based Resin – These skis are made with eco-friendly bio-based resin, containing 35% plant-derived materials. XL Full Strength Sidewall – A construction with protective strips along the core, shielding the wood, edges, and topsheet from impacts and damage.
Elliptical Sidecut – Offers a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots and a shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. Anti-chip Micro Cap – Protects the tips and tails of the skis from wear and tear. Moustache Flex – Provides stability in front and behind the bindings for solid edge hold, with smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris.

Ski shape

Extended tip & tail rocker

We employ Extended Rocker, a reverse camber shape in the tip and tails, which along with waist width, is the most important element in providing float in fresh snow. Extended rocker also makes pivoting and turn initiation easier and means you have less chance of catching an edge.
