Consumer Reports

The Faction Dictator 2.0X is an ideal ski for the value-seeking ripper-chick. It loves to roll around at high speeds, providing outstanding edge-hold and stability, and carves a clean arc with the best of the skis in our test. In choppy snow and difficult conditions, the Dictator mounts a military coup, razing down everything in its path. Faction is offering a powerful ski for an affordable price.
The Dictator needs a highly competent skier to drive it precisely. This ski is not a great choice for beginner to intermediate skiers who are still gaining confidence; these skis are bossy. You need to tell them who is actually in charge rather than allowing them to rule with impunity. This ski also lacks the exceptional flotation in powder that some skis in our review boast. However, if you are a highly skilled and assertive skier who wants a dependable ski for a good price, look no further than the Faction Dictator.

 At 95mm underfoot, the Dictator 2.0X is a versatile off-piste performer that's more than capable in deep snow but you might want something a little wider if you're heading in the direction of Japanese powder. All in all, a really solid, if not particularly playful ski that will satisfy powerful, confident female skiers. Whilst it definitely requires a solid drive, if you like to be in the front then you'll be pleased with how the Dictator 2

0X is a classic freeride, flat tail ski that demands to be skied with power, commitment and grandes cojones (or the female equivalent). With two layers of Titanal surrounding a lightweight poplar/paulownia core, the Dictator 2.0X has been built with strength and stability in mind and delivers excellent edge hold if you fully commit to the carve.

Hello,

I've been looking for new skis (First pair, only rented until now) and I'm a bit confused. I ski for about 9-10 years, but very occasionally, sometimes 2 times a year, sometimes once in 4 years. I'd call myself intermediate (here in Czech Republic i can easily ski a red, struggling a bit on the blacks but mostly manage to get them down without a fall). I ski on groomers, so the typical ski resort slope, but recently I started getting a bit bored on carving skis (Wide nose and tail, minimum under foot) and I'd love to throw in some tricks (once i learn them haha), hit some jumps, ski switch etc. But I'll mostly still ski groomers.

&amp;#x200B;

My question is, are there any twin tipped skis, or atleast partially twin twipped skis that I can use for normal carving on groomers and at the same time do the above mentionted? And which length would be great for me? (Intermediate, 55kg, 181cm). Is it too much to ask from one pair of skis?

&amp;#x200B;

Thank you all.

Desperate with choosing new skis (M, 22YO, 55kg, 181cm)

Check out the liberty origin 96. It's a similar ski but costs a couple hundred less. I got a pair of 101s this spring and like them.

My current skis are the cheapest ones I could find in Decathlon (173cm 68mm wide) so I'm more than ready to up my game. I've almost never left the groomers so I was looking for a ski that could let me learn to ski through powder while at the same time going down through pistes with relative speed. Would something like Skivek Loken 91 or 99 and 180cm length fulfill my desires?

I'm 180cm and 72kg, tend to be agressive and not afraid of challenges

Intermediate skier looking for new experiences

 So check this thing out, the upgraded Liberty Origin 96 at SkiEssentials.com, and we'll see you out there on the hill. Bye.

 So a good amount of this ski here is a tip rocker, a little bit gentle to start, then with a little bit of kick at the end. That's what's giving it the float and the playfulness. A well-rounded ski should have a well-rounded shape, and that's what we see here. Very smooth, not too dramatic or bulbous with the taper

 That's going to give it the playful, freeride feel that we've really enjoyed about this ski in the past. Just a nice, compliant tail allows you to surf and smear out of the snow. For a mid-90s ski, this thing floats and drifts a lot better than some of the other skis out there with multiple sheets of horizontal metal. Having this shape with that vertical metal strut is just a huge improvement over the Origin 96 from previous years in terms of dampness and stability and performance

 Welcome to our 2022 ski test. We've got a Liberty Origin 96 for you. This ski gets a little bit of an upgrade for this year. It's been a real fan favorite of us for the past few years, so just having a little bit of extra energy put into it is definitely a good thing that we've found

2022 Liberty Origin 96 - SkiEssentials.com Ski Test

 Hey skiers, it's Bob with SkiEssentials.com.

 This ski gets a little bit of an upgrade for this year.

 It's been a real fan favorite of us for the past few years, so just having a little bit

 of extra energy put into it is definitely a good thing that we've found.

 This is now the narrowest Origin, they've done away with the 90 and added a 101, so

 there is another step in between this and the 106, but if you're spending a good amount

 of your time on trail, on the mountain, but also want that extra width and flex for more

 freeride skiing, this is a fantastic choice.

 So the new upgrade is the VMT 1.0 core, so we have, as we've had in the past, a blend

 of bamboo and poplar wood in the core, also two strips of carbon that run the length of

 the ski, but the bamboo is a pretty unique wood in how much Liberty uses of it, which

 It is lighter and a little bit more flexible, so having that carbon does make a difference

 in terms of the flex, as well as the poplar adding energy and dampness.

 But the big thing is the vertical metal strut that they're putting in, so we've seen it

 on the Evolve and the V-Series skis from Liberty in the past, now it gets into the Origin as

 So by taking that vertical metal strut, sandwiching it between two strips of poplar running the

 length of the ski really gives this Origin 106 a new level of energy as well as dampness.

 That's one of the things that we've noticed about the Evolves and the V-Series skis in

 the past, is just how damp and quiet and stable they are.
