Faction

Faction is a Swiss-based ski company that today produces freestyle skis, ski films, ski and snowboard apparel. Faction was founded back in 2006 and has since seen significant growth in their ski collection, simply because they offer a freestyle ski not seen with other ski manufacturers on the market. The foundation was laid by a group of passionate skiers who tested their own products in the epic Verbier in Switzerland. With big names like Candide Thovex, Faction has managed to create an incredibly large fan base worldwide. Faction has created a community of freeride and freestyle riders who love freestyle skiing and all the freedom it entails. For several years, Faction has delivered award-winning freestyle skis, which are also used by some of the biggest ski athletes worldwide. Innovations in lightweight hybrid cores, rocker technologies, cool designs, and recyclable materials have helped develop Faction as one of the strongest forces within the freestyle ski brand, which today focuses heavily on advanced ski technology and visionary people.

Faction is known for their development of progressive freeride and freestyle skis, which year after year have returned with improvements and new designs.

A ski series built for the entire mountain and a collection of the best technologies that reflect an ultra-wild all-mountain twin tip ski, and perhaps even the best on the entire market. Candide has focused on creating a freestyle and freeride ski with a soft flex in tip and tail, but without compromising edge grip on the piste and sidecut width for the backcountry.comes with a weight of just 1950 grams. The Prodigy series is developed for the freerider who loves a powder and surfy freeride ski. Faction's Prodigy series is known for its great rocker and width for powder lovers. Additionally, Faction has designed the Prodigy series with a 3mm camber underfoot, so those days when it's on hard-packed pistes can still be optimally carved on a backcountry ski. The entire Prodigy series is made with a sidecut called directional twintip, which means the front ski is slightly wider than the back ski, as known from regular piste skis. Withyou find an all-mountain freestyle and freeride ski. Faction's Dictator skis are known as the freeride ski that offers extraordinary skiing on the piste. Dictator is made with the classic freerider flat tail with high stiffness, so it can be used all over the mountain. Dictator 2.0 offers double titanal reinforcement plates, sandwich construction, and a lightweight wood core with a 95mm waist, which offers plenty of maneuverability and playfulness on the piste. The Dictator series is intended for freeride, but the modelsandare very useful as all-mountain piste skis.
