The Volkl has pretty much the exact same dimensions as the Faction ski, with a slightly wider tip, same waist and tail, and almost the exact same turn radius on them. The Liberty has a smaller tip than the Volkl, but wider than the Faction, and also has a wider waist and tail, but not by much. Dimensions are: Volkl= 130/92/112 Faction=122/92/112 Liberty=130/94/119 The Bridge performs well in pretty much all conditions, but Volkl's tend to have a problem with breaking, more so than any other brand I have ever tried. It also has the stiffest flex of the bunch. The Liberty is a good ll around ski for those not searching for the big fat ones, and has a lively medium flexing core. Solid ski. The Faction is probably my favourite ski, mostly because it really does do everything and all while looking damn fine. The core is super responsive, and almost a mid point between the other 2, medium-stiff lets say. In my opinion, I would say the Faction is the better of the bunch.
