M-Pro 108 F-Team 2023

Turn radius/Sidecut/weight (per pair):

182 cm: 20 m / 139-108-129 mm / 4400 g

Shape:

Freeride Flat Tail
This type of traditional flat tail is designed to offer maximum speed, edge control and stability when turning at full throttle. The light rocker adds a touch of modernity, and this shape will allow you to execute your turns even more easily and will avoid any snagging in fresh snow.

Construction:

Poplar lightweight core
Poplar is a soft, light-coloured, lightweight and strong wood that has good flex and pop, as well as a high capacity to absorb vibrations. When used alone, this wood provides pop, makes it easy to make butters and offers great stability when landing, three attributes necessary for a park ski, but also the torsional stability to ensure good grip on the pistes.

Ultra-solid edge sandwich construction
Protective strips placed on both sides of the core, between the edge and the topsheet. The sidewalls provide optimal edge hold and stability when the ski is cornered, and also protect the core, edges and topsheet from impact.

Sidecuts with elliptic radii
The sidecuts with elliptic radii consist of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radius on the front and rear parts of the ski. The long radius underfoot allows for faster and easier pivoting, while the shorter radii allow turns to be started more gently. These sidecuts are perfectly suited to a wide range of turn angles and sizes.

XL 2.5 mm Edges
One might think that seven tenths of a millimetre doesn't have much of an effect, but when it comes to edges, everything matters. The 2.5 mm edges are 35% thicker than our standard 1.8 mm edges, which are already very sturdy. This addition of steel allows the riders to have a ski that will resist longer to the "stresses" associated with certain techniques.

Surf Zones:
Surf Zone technology is designed to combine the Rocker with the tapered shape of the tips to ensure that these two key characteristics are in perfect harmony. The Rocker provides lift and helps in the pivoting of the ski, while the Tapered Tip allows the widest part of the ski to be closer to the centre and thus reduce the risk of unwanted gripping by the edge. This technology provides excellent lift and a smooth ride in all conditions.

Full Strength Sidewall
The full strength sidewall is a construction that applies layers of protective material along the edges of the sidewall, between the edge and the topsheet from above. The edges offer the best possible stability and grip when turning, while protecting the wooden core, edges and cover sheet from possible external impacts and damage.

Tip and tail cap
On skis equipped with the tip and tail cap construction, Faction place ultra-solid sidewalls at the central part of the ski but wrap the topsheet around the edge of the ski to the tip and tail edges. This protects the ski from impacts and thus improves its durability, while reducing the total weight of the ski, favouring freestyle and ski touring.

Titanal Double Titanal
is one of the strongest materials in the industry. Its isotropic characteristics (it has the same mechanical properties in all directions) makes the ski ultra-comfortable on the edge, able to tear through moguls and remain stable even in variable snow: perfect for creating agressive freeride skis.
