Description
The Faction Studio 1 is a ski specifically designed for high-level Freestyle, intended for advanced to expert skiers who spend the majority of their time in the Snowpark (jumps, rails, pipe).
It is a ski that prioritizes precision, pop (rebound) and extreme durability to withstand the impacts and stresses of the park.
Here is an overview of its key features (2026 model):
Faction Studio 1
| Feature | Specification | Key Advantage |
| Main Purpose | Park & Pipe / Freestyle | Precision tool, ideal for tricks, switch, and heavy landings. |
| Sidecut | 120 / 90/ 120 mm (@ 178 cm) | Symmetrical shape (120/90/120) for perfect balance in the air and for effortless switch skiing. The $\mathbf{90}$ mm waist offers excellent grip on groomed slopes and ramps. |
| Core | Poplar & Ash Core + Carbon Stringers | Mix of lightweight Poplar for pop and denser Ash for power and stiffness. Carbon reinforcements add torsional stability without unnecessary weight. |
| Damping | Carbon/Rubber Stomp Pad | Carbon and rubber pad under the binding area to absorb shocks and vibrations from landings, protecting the core. |
| Construction | XL 2.5 mm Edges & 7 mm Full Sidewall | Extra-thick edges and sidewalls for maximum durability against rails and impacts. |
| Profile | Rocker/Camber/Rocker with Pronounced Camber | The main camber provides energy and rebound for jumps, while the slight rockers facilitate buttering and turn initiation. |
| Flex | 7/10 (Medium-Stiff) | Stiff enough for high-speed stability and big landings, but enough flex in the tip/tail for freestyle maneuvers (Boat Flex). |
The Studio 1 is for you if:
You spend 70 to 100% of your time in the snowpark, on rails or in the halfpipe.
You are looking for a symmetrical and very balanced platform for switch (backward) maneuvers.
You need a ski capable of handling very big landings thanks to reinforced damping.
If you are looking for a more versatile Faction ski to venture off-piste as well, the Prodigy 2 (which we saw previously) or the Studio 2 (wider) might be better options.
