Faction - Candide 2.0 x Skis - 166 - Black

These puppies are your all-mountain thundersticks. Faction's engineering teamed up with Candide Thovex to design a ski that excels on any terrain in all conditions, combining Candide's signature shape and flex with a new construction and versatile 102mm waist. Rip the entire mountain in style with the Faction Candide 2.0X Skis. Poplar / Beech Core Poplar is a light-colored, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having great vibration absorption capabilities. The darker hardwood, beech, adds stiffness and rebound. The results are a reasonably light ski that grips and is snappy between turns - always maintaining a soft enough flex to butter all over the mountain. Titanal Binding Plate When you're on a day-long touring trip in the backcountry, you need to rely on your gear. Titanal reinforcement plates are laid up on top of the lightweight cores ensuring that your binding screws hold. This one-piece design fits alpine and touring bindings, adding trustworthy durability to these lightweight cores. Flex Rating: 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff ) XL 2.5mm Edges Extra edge thickness gives the skier a pair of skis that absorb shock and impact much better than skis with standard edges. The result is a ski with a much higher life expectancy.
