Consumer Reports

With respectable scores across the board, the Faction Dictator 2.0 earns recognition for its solid all-around performance and excellent value. The Dictator 2.0 is one of the more accessible in our lineup. Touted by Faction as "easy to turn in all conditions,” our testers liked the Dictator 2.0's reliable qualities. The overall ride quality pleasantly surprised our testers in powder and soft snow, even considering its relatively narrower waist. It encouraged us to explore new paths and get airborne. Priced to sell, we think the Dictator 2.0 is a value-filled steal.
While the Dictator 2.0 excels in soft snow conditions because of its soft flex, it conversely struggled through chop and crud. Our testers had difficulty staying on track and keeping control of the ski. However, the Dictator 2.0 is versatile enough to handle most snow conditions and is a blast to cruise around the mountain through bumps, jumps, and soft powder stashes.

The People's Ski Test - Faction Dictator 2.0

 My name is Dylan Strelayev, I'm 40 years old from Roslyn, BC.

 I find that this ski is a high performer in mixed hard snow and cruddy conditions.

 The thing I really enjoyed about this ski is that it felt like a traditional ski.

 Ski is a bit of a longer radius, has a really strong edge, carves like a maniac and busts

 I would recommend this ski to expert skiers with a technical skiing background.

 It demands a lot of performance out of the skier.

The Volkl Kenja 88 sets the bar as being the quintessential front side all mountain ski for advanced to expert skiers. The Kenja 88 offers the precise and smooth feel that so many of us have come to know and love from Volkl. Starting with Volkl’s classic construction featuring a multilayer wood core and a Titanal Frame, The Kenja 88 draws its power and smoothness from two laminates of laying on top of and underneath the wood. The laminate on the bottom comes in the form of a full sheet which offers tremendous stability, while the frame of Titanal laying over the core allows the ski to flex naturally while providing a lot of torsional stiffness and driving power into the edges of the ski for those deep trenching arcs on firm snow. At 88 millimeters under the boot, you get premium on-trail performance with a little bit of versatility and forgiveness when things get a bit soft or variable. A subtle tip and tail rocker profile in the Kenja 88 give it the necessary float and maneuverability for skiing any sort of off piste terrain as long as you’re not in chest deep powder. Another feature that gives the Kenja 88 a unique feel is Volkl’s 3D radius Sidecut which incorporates three different length arcs into the sidecut of the ski for easy turn shape manipulation. Depending on how you weight the ski and drive it into a turn, you can ride out some longer arcs or drive it into a quicker turn which brings a whole new meaning to just going and making some turns.

 When we talk about who this is for it's definitely more towards an advanced lady with that metal in there. It is a stiff ski, it's not as forgiving as the other skis out there but they have reduced the weight from their previous versions so classically trained skiers might like the weight of it. You know it's similar to an old school ski that's got that heavy feel but they still have used the technology to make it maneuverable and easy to ski. Again advanced, high intermediate, advanced skier this is definitely for them

 It's a great all-mountain ski that really just is a carver. When we talk about the construction they use their titanal frame that they use in a lot of their skis and you can see it actually in the construction. The raised edges on the tips and the tails and the full binding reinforcement underneath the foot. That's going to help keep that carving that turn, give you that stability and speed that you want

2021 SkiEssentials.com Ski Test - Volkl Kenja 88

 Hi skiers, Allie here with the 2021 ski test from SkiEssentials.com.

 In front of me I have Volkl's 2021 Kenja 88.

 This is probably my favorite ski in the Volkl series.

 It's a great all-mountain ski that really just is a carver.

 When we talk about the construction they use their titanal frame that they use in a lot

 of their skis and you can see it actually in the construction.

 The raised edges on the tips and the tails and the full binding reinforcement underneath

 That's going to help keep that carving that turn, give you that stability and speed that

 It's also going to allow the ski to be a little bit lighter where you want it in the tips

 and the tails so you can release when you want to but hold that edge when you need to.

 Shape of the ski, again it's a pretty classic shape for an all-mountain groomer ski.

 It's got a nice tip rise though, wide tip, definitely will be able to go over the crud.

 A little bit of tail release compared to some groomer skis which I really like because it
