Candide may be gone, but that means there's a spot for you on top of the Faction Prodigy 3X Skis this season. This all-mountain, all-snow twinnish-tipped freeride monster is still out there, ready to kill it for the right skier, and itching to stomp some big lines. Classic Poplar wood core construction with Multi-axial fiberglass and plenty of rocker at both ends mean hard charging goodness going both ways.
Rocker-Camber-Rocker – Tip Rocker: 164 = 370mm, 172 = 380mm, 178 = 390mm | Camber: All Sizes = 3mm | Tail Rocker: 164 = 290mm, 172 = 300mm, 178 = 310mm
Flex Rating – 7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)
Directional Twin – A considerably skinnier tail width than in the tip provides ultimate downhill performance for attacking the mountain. A twin tip in the tail encourages playfulness and freestyle attitude, meaning you can ride switch with ease.
Tip Height – 72mm
Tail Height – 57mm
Sustainable Poplar Wood Core – Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like an all-mountain freestyle ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill.
Microcap Full Strength Sidewall – Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile joint that can be prone to chipping.
XL 2.5mm Edges – Fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 25% of height on top of our already super-durable standard 2.0mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
