Faction Dictator 3.0X
The all-new Faction Dictator 3.0X is destined to become a fat fave among female freeriders bossing the big mountains.
Freeride World Tour competitor’s Elizabeth Gerritzen’s ski of choice for her winning line on the legendary Becs des Rosses, the Dictator 3.0X is a classic freeride flat tail with a poplar wood core running tip to tail and two layers of titanal.
Combined this with a lardy 106mm platform underfoot, and you’re looking at a big-ass ski that likes to roll from edge to edge, hard and fast. Incredible in wide open spaces it chews up any terrain in its path but still reacts at high speeds thanks to its 16m radius.
Amy was impressed by its versatility at this year’s Test: “despite bulldozing through the chop it was still manoeuvrable in the tight rocky/heathery sections that dominated the Scottish test terrain”.
Responsive and controllable yet with real power and purpose, the Dictator 3.0X is a ski for experienced off-piste riders whose charging style lies at the hard and fast end of the spectrum.
From sidecountry party laps with your crew to seizing the moment when big lines come into condition, this ski is designed to facilitate your objective.
“Joyous to ride and oh so darn cool looking, the Dictator 3.0X makes you ski like a badass, line after big mountain line” says Keren.
Verdict
A ski for experienced off-piste riders whose charging style lies at the hard and fast end of the spectrum.
