Greetings Everyone!
I am selling a pair of 190cm Faction Royale's. No BS, they are my favorite ski I have ever skied! They haven't been compromised whatsoever…and they still perform 100% as they did on the first day when I skied them. There are no core shots…as it is a burly boss ski! The skis are ready to go with a full tune the other day! I have had so much fun on these skis, I have never skied a ski that can rail turns on hardpack, ski deep pow with ease, and maintain stability when dropping cliffs onto hard pack and charging in the worst conditions (hopefully you will always see softer conditions!).
2012 Royale 190cm (great shape, no core shots, no compromise)
Salomon STH 16 (Great working shape, no problems)
$350 OBO + Shipping (Feel free to email me: wetzel@lightpoleclothing.com)
Faction Royale Skis 2012: The Faction Royale Skis do it all, but are happiest floating through deep powder or over pillows or through trees or cutting the crud or looking epic in lift lines or making your day. Stiffer than most BC-freestyle rockers, the Royale is stable at speed while maintaining a lightweight 4700gm/pair so you can get freestyle with them.
Shape
BC-freestyle Rocker: symmetrical tip & tail rocker and flat camber underfoot on the Royale provide float riding normal or switch, as well as instantaneous edge control - 15/300mm tip rocker, zero camber underfoot, 15/300mm tail rocker.
Construction
Rider-Centric Technology: the dimensions, specs, materials, cores and flexes of all Faction skis are designed around rider specifications, not market segments. This way, the products benefit from the best performance possible with maximum versatility.
The Echo Initiative: the production house, logistics and offices are all assessed for compliance to ISO 14001, and Faction is initiating projects in select resorts to start reclaiming and recycling old skis as part of its environmental policy.
Sandwich construction
P-tex 4000 die-cut bases
