evo.com | Faction Skis > Spend most of your ski days on hardpack, but don't want to be locked down by some stodgy carving ski? Step away from the mainstream and check out the Faction Dancer 1 Skis instead. All the goodness of the other Dancer skis - the lightweight Poplar wood core, the two sheets of Titanal, and the XL 2.5mm edges are all here, but in a mid-narrow 86mm package that eats ice and groomers alive. Sintered UHMW Base 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. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. XL 2.5mm Edges Fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges add an extra 25% of height to Faction's standard 2mm edge, making for a stronger and more durable ski. Flex Rating 8 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff) | Faction Dancer 1 Skis 2026 - 162 in Gray
