Factory 96

Extrem Factory 96: one ski for everything

The Factory 96 is a lively all-mountain ski for anyone looking for a ski for every day and every terrain. It skis cleanly and powerfully on groomed pistes, yet stays versatile and playful off the piste too. The wood core provides a damped yet lively ride feel.

With a waist width of 95 mm and a radius of 16 to 18 metres (depending on length), it is designed for longer, wide turns and is also easy to control in open terrain. The rocker in tip and tail makes it agile and makes turn initiation easier. Depending on length, it weighs 1,800 to 2,050 grams per ski.
