Name: Faction Prodigy 2 Mens Snow Skis
SKU: 195899

One ski to do it all — freeride, pow, groomers and hit the park at the end of each lap — is a tall order, and a bit overhyped, but if there ever was such a thing it's the Faction Prodigy 2 Skis. Clocking in at 98mm underfoot and with a do-it-all directional twin shape that outskis many purpose-built groomer skis but still spins and switches with the best, the Faction Prodigy 2 Skis Strive 11 GW Bindings make anything possible, run after run after run.

Rocker Type

Rocker / Camber / Rocker

Flex

Flex Rating – 7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)

Sidecut

Elliptical Sidecut – Elliptical 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.

Shape

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 – 70mm

Tail Height – 56mm

Core

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.

Sidewalls

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.

Edges

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.
