Men's Faction Dancer 3 (2024) skis

High-performance men's ski for freeride and all-mountain use, ideal for sliding down steep couloirs and floating in powder.

The Dancer 3 is a men's ski from Faction, designed for freeride and all-mountain. Replacing the Dictator, the Dancer range offers high-performance skis with an almost flat tail, suitable for all-mountain and freeride. The four Dancer models are designed to get you down steep slopes fast, through trafficked snow and float in powder.

Thanks to two Titanal plates, Dancer skis are extremely stable at high speeds and absorb vibrations in difficult snow conditions. With a poplar wood core, they offer a balance between lightness and dynamism. The Dancer 3, with its 106 mm skate, performs well in freeride and ensures serene transitions on piste. It's designed for advanced to expert skiers who prefer off-piste.

Features:

• High performance for all-mountain to freeride use, with exceptional stability at high speeds thanks to the use of two Titanal plates.
• Outstanding lightness/dynamic balance thanks to a poplar wood core for good edge grip on piste.
• A resolutely freeride design with a long rocker for better lift-off in fresh snow and enhanced maneuverability on piste.

Technical specifications:

• Poplar core: a soft, light-colored wood, light and resistant, with good flex and pop, as well as a great capacity to absorb vibrations. This wood offers great stability on landing and in torsion, providing good edge grip on the slopes.
• The elliptical radius sidecut features a longer radius under the foot and shorter radii at the front and rear of the ski. The longer radius makes pivoting quicker and easier, while the shorter radii allow for smoother cornering.
• XL 2.5mm edges: 35% thicker than standard 1.8mm edges, which are already very tough. This added steel gives riders a ski that will withstand the "aggression" of certain sports longer.
• Surf zones: this technology has been designed to combine rocker and tapered tip shape, ensuring that these two key parameters work in perfect harmony. It provides excellent lift and a smooth feel, whatever the conditions.
• CAP construction in tip and tail: ultra-strong sidewalls in the central part of the ski and a coated topsheet, which protects the ski from impact and improves its durability, while reducing the ski's overall weight, making it ideal for freestyle and touring.
• Double titanal layer : its isotropic characteristics mean that the ski loves to be on edge, rips through bumps and remains stable even in variable snow conditions.
• Flat heel: specially designed to give you maximum speed, excellent edge grip and optimal control when linking turns at high speed.
• Pair weight: 4.2 kg
