The Faction Studio 0 GU is a freestyle-oriented limited edition ski, designed in collaboration with the freeskiing sensation Eileen Gu.
Rely on the Studio 0 GU for true precision; it’s built to withstand the G forces and off-centered landings that are unique to halfpipe riding, to help you take your freestyle game to the next level. These skis are intended for someone looking for a narrower park ski for precision edging and impact absorption. Built with a carbon/rubber reinforcement under the binding area to withstand heavy stomps; a carbon weave for torsional strength without added bulk; a symmetrical shape for effortless switch skiing; and a 7mm XL sidewall for supreme edge hold and protection of the wood core.
The phoenix artwork on the skis, proposed by Eileen herself, and created by Chinese artist Liu Zhicheng, is a fusion of different cultures; of traditional and contemporary design. In some cultures, the phoenix is a bird of fire that can be reborn; but in China, it is the five-colored king and queen of birds who brings good omens. Despite the differences, the phoenix can be appreciated by all cultures; just like Eileen Gu.
