How they compare
Both target freestyle / park terrain, while the Faction Soma leans more all mountain. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile.
