Faction Skis unveils new ski collection with TeXtreme

TeXtreme Technology is based on spreading tows (yarns) into very thin tapes and then weaving these tapes together to create ultralight and ultrathin woven fabrics which take advantage of proven thin ply theory to improve impact performance while reducing weight when compared to conventional woven carbon fibre fabrics.

Sannes continues, “We use TeXtreme in a bias orientation to achieve extreme torsional stiffness. By using TeXtreme as layers within our ski’s laminate, we place TeXtreme at varying angles and axes, thereby spreading stability and stiffness across the whole width and length of the ski.”

Alongside the use of TeXtreme in skis, TeXtreme can be found in Formula 1, America’s Cup, NASCAR, Le Mans, Indy Car, ice hockey, golf, bicycles, tennis, surf boards, table tennis, rowing shells, canoes, skis, snowboards, and various industrial and advanced aerospace applications. (SV)
