Faction Prodigy 1 Ski 2027

Description:

The Prodigy 1 is designed for skiers seeking precise handling in the park and on-piste. Featuring an award-winning elliptical sidecut, these skis offer effortless turn initiation at any speed, while full strength sidewalls deliver exceptional edge hold. The Prodigy 1 is 88mm underfoot, enhancing its precision on hard-packed features.

A unique construction of a poplar wood and ash wood core provides the strength needed to withstand heavy hits. For this newest model, we've integrated a carbon/rubber stomp pad to absorb vibrations, making your ride and creative expression smoother and more sure-footed than ever. Paired with XL 2.5mm edges, the Prodigy 1 skis are built for lasting durability.

Built with poplar - The Prodigy Series is equipped with a poplar wood 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. On the Prodigy 1 and Prodigy 2, we’ve integrated a carbon/rubber stomp pad to absorb all hits and
vibrations, making the ride and creative expression smoother and more sure-footed than ever.

A directional twin-tip shape - The Prodigy series is equipped with a Directional Twin shape which is ideal for all-mountain freestyle performance. A considerably skinnier tail width than in the tip provides an ultimate downhill focus for attacking the mountain. The twin tip shape creates a playful and freestyle-minded attitude, meaning you can ride switch with ease.

Features:

Poplar/Ash Core -  Poplar is a light, durable softwood known for its flex, pop, and excellent vibration absorption. Ash, a heavier hardwood, adds stiffness and durability. Together as a duo, they offer great hold on hard snow, a solid base for landings, and enough pop and flex for creative maneuvers.

Carbon and 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.

Mustache 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.

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.

Flex - 6/10
