Sup guys,

These are my first Faction, so I don’t know how best to mount bindings. Some speak on the CT line, some speak -1.5 cm from it. I think I will ride them 50/50 park/almnt

Faction 2020 - 184cm

What is the best way for me to do?

Thanks for the help and have a nice day.

CT line. It’s a symmetrical ski so mounting too fat back will result in you fighting the side cut of the ski

CT line is 2-3cm back from center. I have a pair mounted there and they’re perfect. You can mount center but you’ll lose some stability when you’re not in the park

I ride park, and love the CT line, iirc the CT line is like 1cm 1,5?? behind true center on the CT 2.0 depending on year, @skidemon22 probably knows exact or you could measure.



But just mount CT line, call it a day, Candide knows his stuff.

I've always mounted on the CT line for the 2.0 and it skis great for park and all-mountain. CT line is 3.5cm back from true center on the 2.0 184 (19/20 model)

on the side of the ski you will see a triangle/mark, put your boot in the binding, your boot will also have a mark, thoose marks should line up.

I’d mount true centred. That where I mounted mine and I am a ski coach so I ride about 40 % park and 60% all mountain.
