Description

A more park-oriented version of the Prodigy 2, the Faction Prodigy 1 Skis are 10mm narrower and have denser Ash laminates added to the core for more strength, as well as the new Carbon Rubber Stomp Pads. A ski that you can session the park all day long on and still hang with your freeride bros for a few laps in the back bowls when the urge strikes.

Flex

Flex Rating7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)

Sidecut

Elliptical SidecutElliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions.

Core

Poplar and Ash Wood Core

Laminates

Carbon Rubber Stomp PadFor extra absorption on those huge hits.

Sidewalls

Full Strength SidewallA construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet.

Base

Sintered UHMW Base

Edges

XL 2.5mm EdgesFractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges add an extra 25% of height to Faction’s standard 2mm edge, making for a stronger and more durable ski.

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
