evo.com | Faction Skis > There was plenty of call for a freetouring option a bit wider than the popular Mega, and not so much for the uber-fat Max, so Faction decided the Faction La Machine 4 Massive Skis would fill a worthy niche just between them. With a "massive" footprint but weighing in at only 1730 grams in the 185, this ski will enable you to destroy powder stashes far from the beaten track, and leave you with enough energy to really enjoy it. Full Paulownia core, extensive use of carbon fiber, and tons of tip and tail rocker with only the tiniest bit of camber mean you can have your cake and play with it, too. Lightweight Sustainable Paulownia Wood Core Microcap Full Strength Sidewall Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile joint that can be prone to chipping. Tip Height 67mm Full Carbon Weave Between 8 and 12 strips of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski's woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding weight to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski. Elliptical Sidecut Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions. | Faction La Machine 4 Massive Skis 2025 - 179
