Faction STUDIO GROM Skis

FEATURES

• __________
• PREMIUM FREERIDE TWIN TIP - The Studio GROM is the go-to for aspiring freeride groms whose send is disproportionate to their size. These rippers will be excited to have the YTH edition knowing that the ski is more or less a replica of the Studio 2, but in shorter lengths. Poplar and Beech wood offer high-energy carving and absorption on landings; Elliptic Sidecut and smooth Rocker allow for effortless turning and buttering; and the trio of Full-Strength Sidewall, tip & tail cap and 2.2 mm edges ensure this ski is built to last.
• __________
• STUDIO SERIES - The Faction Studio Series represents the space where creativity flourishes — where inspired vision takes tangible form. Crafted in close collaboration with our top athletes, the Studio Series comprises a family of premium twin-tips that blend high-speed, all-mountain freeski performance with free-flowing, nimble freestyle spirit, emphasizing pure self-expression on snow. Because your inventiveness is ever-evolving from season to season, the skis are built to last, with reinforced wood cores, stomp pads for heavy landings; carbon for lightweight rigidity; and 7mm XL sidewalls. Power and play collide in the Studio – step inside and start creating.
• __________
• PROFILE - Tip and tail rocker + traditional camber, for the perfect blend of high performance edge hold, easy turn initiation, and float in soft snow.
• __________
• POPLAR / ASH CORE - Poplar is a light-colored, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having great vibration absorption capabilities. Ash is a heavier hardwood, that complements Poplar by adding stiffness and durability. This duo provides excellent hold on hard snow, a solid base for stomping landings and enough pop and flex to get creative with.
• __________
• XL FULL STRENGTH SIDEWALL - 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.
• __________
• ELLIPTICAL SIDECUT - 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
• __________
• ANTI-CHIP MICRO CAP - Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile joint that can be prone to chipping.
• __________
• BOAT FLEX - Heavy rocker is best complemented by solid, stiffer tips and tails, to help settle the skis and power through variable snow. Additionally, the stiff tips absorb more vibration when skiers touch down after going airborne. Just add a touch more flex underfoot and it allows the skis to load up and POP on request
