evo.com | Faction Skis > Looking for a dedicated powder touring stick for the deepest of days in the BC? Of course you’d look to one of the Indy brands from North America, where people are dumb enough to actually tour on skis wider than 100mm, right? Nope, it’s the maniacs from Verbier who have this covered for 2023 with the Faction La Machine Max Skis. At 126mm in the waist with a ton of tip rocker and weighing less than 2,000 grams per ski, the LMM gets our vote for that special day in Hokkaido or Revelstoke, and we’re glad someone had the guts to do it. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. 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. Lightweight Sustainable Paulownia Wood Core 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. 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. | Faction La Machine Max Skis 2024 – 186
