Here at The Faction Collective we have developed what we call “Rocker 2.0”. Combining traditional camber together with rocker in differing combinations helps us design skis that are more highly tuned to the riders needs, whilst making them even more versatile. “Rocker 2.0” is used on four of our skis this year - the Alias, 3.Zero, Royale and Thirteen. For those who prefer the feel of ‘traditional’ camber, the Alias and 3.Zero models are now available in Traditional versions as well. All-mountain rocker. Tip rocker only and traditional camber is combined on the Alias Rocker, providing great on-piste feel with increased float off-piste.
Rocker 5mm rise over 150mm
All-mountain powder-bias rocker. Tip & tail rocker and traditional camber on the 2010/11 3.Zero Rocker combine to create an off-piste bias ski that floats amazingly yet is still quick edge-to-edge.
Rocker 5mm rise over 150mm
BC freestyle rocker. Symmetrical tip & tail rocker and flat camber underfoot on the Royale provide float riding normal or switch, as well as instantaneous edge control.
Rocker 15mm rise over 300mm
