Freeride Titanal

Shape and Construction

1 - Topsheet

2 - Dual Span Titanal

Titanal is one of the most sturdy metals out there. Its isotropic quality—meaning it's equally strong in all directions—means that the ski loves being on an edge, blasts through bumps and feels stable even in changeable snow, making it the perfect chassis for your dream freeride ski.

3 - Lightweight 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.

4 - Sintered Base

1 - 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

2 - Mustache Flex

The "Mustache Flex" offers stability underfoot for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you.

3 - A Freeride Flat-Tail Shape and Profile

Tip and tail rocker + traditional camber, for the perfect blend of high performance edge hold, easy turn initiation, and float in soft snow. This ski combines the stability and drive of a flat tail with carefully tuned rocker that makes pivots and slashes intuitive.

Reviews

Amazing skis

"Have not tried them yet, but I am thrilled for the upcoming season!!!"

Sophia E. (5/5)

Great skis!

"Great skis, I use them for resort/ gate guiding with a marker duke pt 16 binding. It is heavy but that’s what I wanted. Use it like a free ride ski. I used them in New Zealand too and were amazing for steep terrain and handling all types of snow. Can carve well too. Takes high speed so well. I’ve used my studio 3s as a powder/ lighter weight touring ski with dynafits and they’ll be great for my back country guiding."

Matt S. (5/5)

Great comp ski

"Whether it’s crusty chalky moguls or chopped up pow a few hours after open these skis are a Freeride weapon. Cliffs on hard pack or side hits there’s no wrong piece of terrain for these skis."

Ben G. (5/5)

Versatile All Mountain Skis

"These are a great option for a ski touring setup as they a quite light weight."

Sonja P. (5/5)

Freeride ski for hard-packed snow

"Stiff ski, very good with hard packed snow in freeride, kind of heavy tho so keep that in mind (compared to a park ski of course). Pretty fun ski, carves really well (similar to volk mantra M series). Don't expect the best floatability in powder since it's not meant to be a powder ski."

Matias H. (5/5)

Delighted with Faction Dancer

"Was looking for a ski that was more suited to a full range of skiing that included powder and after lots of looking landed on Faction Dancer skis. Was so impressed I bought Dancer skis for the family. We had a great season skiing in Canada and Europe made possible by Faction Skis. Highly recommend to everyone."
