About the Studio series

At Faction, we're celebrating our 20th anniversary, and the Studio Series is leading the tribute. At its center, is the Roman numeral for 20; XX, realized in a textured bitmap glitch overlay. The Studio Series is the flagship descendent of two decades of riding, innovation and design that all started with our freeride-focused prototypes in 2006. In these two decades, we've worked through countless versions, prototypes and molds to reach today's series of premium, world-class skis. This series spans the spectrum from high-level park skiing, to high-energy all-mountain riding, and right to the top: the otherworldly demands of competitive freeride skiing.
