The Faction La Machine is called "Massive". That leaves no doubt as to where it belongs. Namely in the deepest pow you can find. And with 1700 g/ski you are agile enough to find it. 

Faction La Machine Massive 4 bridges the gap between the 3 and the über-fat 5. La Machine 4’s construction mirrors that of the 3. This 117 mm beauty perfectly suits the skier who craves a wide yet light free-touring ski for extended backcountry missions, when soft snow is on the menu.

La Machine 5 is the dream heli or cat tool, while the 4 holds its own edging on firmer snow, providing trustworthiness when one finds oneself in a hairy spot off the grid.

Recommended mounting points (acc. to manufacturer)

A mounting point further back on the ski promotes stability, float, and carving performance. This is generally preferred by those with a traditional technique, who ski in a  forward stance or with lots of pressure on the front of their boots through the whole turn

CLASSIC
The Classic line offers optimal carving ability. Choose this position if you like to heavily pressure the front of your ski boots and ski shovels through your turns. Mounting at the Classic mark will optimize float in deep snow, giving you the most tip length of any of our three recommended positions. 

Best for: those skiing with a traditional stance, ex-racers, big-mountain chargers.

PROGRESSIVE
Progressive is the Faction  recommended mount position for the Prodigy, Dancer, La Machine, and Agent lines. Progressive is the most versatile position on the ski, and provides the perfect balance of carving performance and manoeuvrability. This is the position Faction recommend, if you’re unsure where you want to put your bindings, or if you’re simply looking for the most all-around solution. 

Best for: all-rounders, those drawing on both freeride and freestyle inspiration in their skiing. 

NEWSCHOOL
The Newschool position is for those who ski with a playful, freestyle-influenced style, wanting to maximize pivot ability and potential for butters, tricks, and spins. Skiers preferring New School will likely have a more ‘centred’ and neutral stance, with less pressure on the shins through turns. Newschool is the Faction recommended mount point for the Mana series.

Best for: Freestylers, those who ski with a centred stance, those wanting to maximize manoeuvrability.
