Studio 2

The 2027 Faction Studio 2 is a 102 mm freestyle all-mountain twin for skiers who want park pop and switch skiing alongside real off-piste and groomer use. The Studio line gives it a more freestyle-focused identity than Faction’s Dancer series, while the 102 mm platform gives more flotation than a narrow park ski.

A poplar and fiberglass core is reinforced with 8–12 full-length carbon stringers, which add stiffness and response without adding metal-laminate mass. A carbon/rubber stomp pad sits underfoot to absorb impact, and the raised twin tail supports switch landings. SkiEssentials testers described it as light, responsive and playful, with strong pop and a stable feel through the turn; its 102 mm width and freestyle shape make it less quick edge-to-edge than narrower skis.

Choose the Studio 2 if you want to use the whole resort as a freestyle playground, from park jumps and side hits to trees and softer snow. It fits intermediate through expert skiers who value pop, switch capability and a balanced twin-tip feel. If firm-snow carving and fast edge changes matter most, the narrower Dancer models are more suitable; if deep powder is the priority, move to a wider ski.
