The Studio 4 is the new iteration of Faction's most storied ski. The key elements that have earned this special shape a cult following all remain in play: a poplar core that balances strength and light weight; an ultra-wide platform for dream floatation in powder; a carbon\/rubber stomp pad for vibration absorption; and a unique blend of full rocker and elliptical sidecut to unlock effortless smearing and turn initiation. The magic of old blends with the new to make the Studio 4 a lock for your quiver: the ski now boasts premium Austrian quality, powered 100% by renewable energy. For skiers seeking a mix of true performance and pure play, this one's simply drool-inducing. Built with recycled materials, never sacrificing durability. Faction is working with their production partners to eliminate material waste. They now mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring the same level of quality \u0026amp; durability.; Locally Sourced Materials: In an effort to reduce the impact of our supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based near our factories.; 100% Renewable Energy Factory: This ski is produced in a cutting-edge facility that runs on electrical power that is 100% renewable. Additionally, its heating energy comes solely from biomass. The factory no longer uses oil, resulting in annual CO2 emissions reductions of a whopping 10 million kilograms.; XL 2.5mm Edges, compared to 2 mm industry average, built to last; Full Strength Sidewall, for the best-possible edge hold and protection of the wood core. A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the woodcore, edges and topsheet from impact and outside damage.; Anti-Chip Micro Cap protects the tips and tails from wear and tear, their construction keeps durability and reliable performance front and center.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT CONDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"UnNewText\"\u003eThis UnNew \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"displayNameDesc\"\u003eFaction Studio 4 Skis 2025 - 191cm\u003c\/span\u003e is in \u003cspan class=\"condition\"\u003eGood\u003c\/span\u003e condition.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"conditionText\"\u003eProducts in Good condition have been well loved, but still have life left in them.

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. Ultra-light paulownia wood is also integrated into this ski to save weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon Stringers: Carbon stringers sandwiches the ski's wood core, providing extra stability and torsional rigidity without adding bulk to the build. Feel confident when you're about to pop to the Moon. 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon and rubber Stomp Pad absorbs vibration at high speeds and upon landing big airs. A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon\/rubber reinforcement underfoot, above the edge, adds strength where it matters most to this performance oriented ski. In addition to protecting the wood core from heavy-duty impact on rails, the carbon and rubber inlay adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, both for you and your skis.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eElliptical Sidecut, longer radius underfoot for long, stable arcs and shorter radius in the tip and tail for awesome versatility, effortless turn initiation. Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii 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\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBoat Flex: \"Boat flex\" combines a stiffer tip and tail to help settle the skis at speed, with a softer mid section, for big-time pop on request\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePremium All-Mountain Twin Tip\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eScratch resistant topsheet - gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTerrain: Premium Lightweight Powder\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"geartrade","offers":[{"title":"191cm \/ Pink\/Blue","offer_id":54159613100337,"sku":"JOSEPH33385","price":667.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/9133\/1121\/files\/6e5fd018-6b69-4a53-b4da-736cd71fd755.webp?v=1779689767","url":"https:\/\/geartrade.com\/products\/faction-studio-4-skis-2025-191cm-1679187","provider":"Geartrade.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
