DANCER 89 TI

The Faction Dancer 89 Ti is an all-mountain alpine ski designed for intermediate to advanced skiers looking for a versatile ski that performs equally well on groomed runs and in varied snow conditions. With a waist width of 89 mm, it strikes a balance between on-piste precision and ease in light off-piste conditions. Its construction combines a poplar wood core with two layers of Titanal to deliver a ride that’s both dynamic and stable. The Faction Dancer 89 Ti is designed for skiers who want a ski that delivers a responsive ride without sacrificing forgiveness or everyday comfort.

A performance-oriented, versatile all-mountain ski

The Faction Dancer 89 Ti is designed for skiers who don’t limit themselves to a single type of terrain. On groomed runs, it delivers precise and responsive handling, with a crisp reaction to input. In packed snow or varied conditions, its 89 mm waist width provides enough float to stay comfortable without getting bogged down. This ski is particularly well-suited for intermediate skiers progressing toward an advanced level, as well as expert skiers looking for a responsive everyday ski that performs on all types of mountain terrain.

Dimensions and radius: a ski designed for wide, committed turns

The Dancer 89 Ti’s sidecut measures 126–89–115 mm, with an elliptical shape that promotes a smooth transition between tip, waist, and tail. The turning radius is 18 m for the 179 cm model and 17 m for the 173 cm model, placing this ski in the medium-to-long radius category. These specifications naturally lend themselves to wide, dynamic turns, with progressive edge grip and good stability at sustained speeds. This profile is particularly well-suited for long turns on blue or red runs, without sacrificing the short, playful feel of a shorter ski in tight sections.

Hybrid profile: rocker and camber for versatility

The Faction Dancer 89 Ti’s profile is based on a combination of tip and tail rocker, paired with a 3 mm central camber. The tip rocker accounts for 18% of the ski’s length, making it easier to initiate turns and improving performance in soft or cold snow. The tail rocker, at 11%, frees up the rear of the ski for a more natural, less sticky turn exit. The central camber, though subtle, maintains grip on hard snow and ensures energy transfer between the edges. This hybrid profile allows the ski to adapt to changing conditions without losing efficiency.

Construction: Titanal and wood core for stability and responsiveness

The Dancer 89 Ti’s construction is based on several complementary technical elements. Here are the key components that define its performance:

• Poplar wood core: Lightweight and responsive, it transmits momentum with agility while absorbing vibrations on uneven terrain.
• Dual Span Titanal: Two sheets of titanal reinforce torsional stiffness and stability at high speeds without adding excessive weight.
• 2.5 mm XL steel edges: a generous edge profile that improves grip on hard snow and durability over time.
• Sintered UHMW Base: a high-density sintered base that absorbs and retains wax for long-lasting, high-performance glide.
• Anti-Chip Micro Cap: reinforced protection at the tips and tails that extends the ski’s lifespan against shocks and impacts.

The skis are manufactured in Austria, using 100% renewable energy and incorporating recycled materials into the manufacturing process.

The Faction Dancer 89 Ti is a solid choice for skiers who move between groomed runs and easy backcountry terrain, are looking for a responsive ski with true grip, and want to improve or maintain an advanced skill level on varied terrain. Available in 166- and 185-cm lengths, it adapts to different body types and skiing styles within the same all-mountain lineup.
