Faction Studio 0 83mm GU 177 2023 Smuči

Inspired by ski superstar Elieen Gu, designed for you 

The Faction Studio 0 83 mm GU freeski are the first choice of Olympic champion and ski superstar Elieen Gu. They come with a twin tip shape and are designed for park and pipe riding. The core made of poplar and ash is basically already reactive, agile and reliable, but here it is additionally supported by rubber and carbon. 
This ski can handle every kicker landing, every ride in the pipe and every rail line. 

Riding style
This ski is designed for riders who only use the slope to get to the park and pipe. Pure freestyle. 

Shape
The Studio 0 comes with a symmetrical twin shape with centred binding mount. It drives forward and switch exactly the same. 

Profile
This ski comes with a classic Camber under the binding and an even Rocker in nose and tail. This profile is perfect for any terrain. Precision and pop for park and slope, good uplift in soft snow. The Rocker in the nose and tail also creates an additional, loose, tilt-free riding experience.

Flex
The harder flex ensures absolute stability at high speeds, best edge hold and lots of support for difficult landings.

Construction
The poplar and ash woodcore offers good pop and flex as well as excellent vibration dampening. It also has enough torsional flex for impressive grip on the descent. The Carbon/Rubber Stomp Pad is a reinforcement made of carbon and rubber under the binding. It protects the woodcore from strong impacts and absorbs vibrations. Faction uses a more sustainable approach with this ski. The topsheet is made from bio-based resin and Faction uses a proportion of recycled materials to make the Studio 0.
