Faction's best selling ski- the Prodigy 2. The ultimate all-mountain ski with park DNA, designed to help you pop, stomp, and surf across any terrain. Made with a poplar core to give the right balance of softness and pop for buttering slushy rollers, while also being stiff enough for some serious carving. New to this model Faction has introduced a carbon/rubber stomp pad to absorb hits an vibration to give you more confidence and a smoother ride.
Construction & Technologies
- Poplar Core
- Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, and durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. It enhances performance by providing impressive pop, buttering, and stability. Poplar ensures skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on the downhill and in the park.
- Carbon & Rubber Stomp Pad
- A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon & rubber inlay adds strength where it matters most. Protecting not only the wood core from heavy-duty impacts, it adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, both for you and your skis.
- XL 2.5mm Edges
- A ski's edge is critical to its performance and handling. Faction's skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They're built to last.
- Full Strength Sidewall
- Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary.
- Elliptical Sidecut
- The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control.
- Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
- The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain.
- Moustache Flex
- The 'Moustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish.
Shape & Profile
- Directional Shape
- 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.
