Handmade in Austria with quality, durability, reinforced edges and a full sidewall, the Faction Mana 2 is built to last. This is a premium twin-tip ski that’s full of freestyle spirit, but with the performance of a directional ski. Perhaps ideal for the "more discerning" twin-tip skier. Stiffer in the tip and tail for full stability at speed, more flex under the foot for playfulness. Versatile to carve super hard and fast, but then go full freestyle thanks to a Carbon-and-rubber Stomp Pad under the foot that absorbs vibration when you launch to the Moon. Made in a 100 per cent renewable energy factory, the Mana 2 incorporates recycled materials and a sustainably-harvested wood core. Faction is a Certified B Corp, putting people and planet first.
