Product Info

The Faction Mana 3 Skis hit the sweet spot between powder plaything and freestyle ripper with a resounding "ding" - this is the ski you're looking for if you have your bag of tricks dialed and are looking to push the envelope further up the mountain. Carefully chosen lightweight Poplar cores and a Carbon-Rubber stomp pad underfoot give you the luxury of low swing weight with the ability to sustain hard landings without the sting.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Rocker-Camber-Rocker

Flex

Flex Rating7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)

Boat FlexBoat 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.

Sidecut

Mana StanceWith regards to the Mana Series, the narrowest point of the ski is the center of the radius, which happens to be the most intuitive place from which to initiate pivoting of the supernatural freestyle variety. Mounting here also works wonders for carving and popping off the back and front of your skis.

Shape

Mana Progressive Twin ShapeThis shape is inspired by symmetrical freestyle ski design, but tweaked for a freeride approach. A slightly skinnier tail width than tip width means this ski is faster and performs better on the downhill than a completely symmetrical ski. It keeps the identical twin tip height for switch skiing and landings. Moderately tapered tips and tails are complemented by an elliptical radius sidecut for efficient, precise handling and carving. A combination of generous rocker and modest camber results in a wonderfully playful character, injecting new energy into an otherwise routine day on the mountain. We designed the Mana shape for the increasingly popular category of high-performance all-mountain skis with freestyle flair.

Core

Sustainable Lightweight Poplar Wood CorePoplar 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.

Laminates

Carbon-Rubber Stomp PadA 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon/rubber reinforcement underfoot, above the edge, adds strength where it matters most to this playful all-mountain 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.

Sidewalls

Microcap Full Strength SidewallMicro-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.

Edges

XL 2.5mm EdgesFractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges add an extra 25% of height to Faction's standard 2mm edge, making for a stronger and more durable ski.
