Product Info
So you're kid has discovered Candide Thovex. He's seen all of the POV Edits, watched the documentary on Youtube, and has even delved into the old Kandide Kamera edits (shoutout if you know about Rhastafaride). Now, he wants to ski like Candide, and with the Candide 4.0 Jr. Skis, he'll be able to click into the same high performance all-mountain shredding machines of his hero. Featuring a wide 100mm waist, and healthy dose of rocker in the tip and tail, this ski will take your young gun to new heights. But that's not a problem, because he'll be tipping in on a symmetrical, stiff flexing machine designed to elevate his skiing far beyond the confines of the park and hardpack.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Rocker / Flat / Rocker – 5mm tip rocker extending back 200mm. Flat underfoot. 5mm tail rocker extending forward 200mm.
Flex
Flex Rating: 4.5 (1 Soft - 6 Stiff) – All-mountain versatility that won't feel overwhelming in difficult situations.
Sidecut
Short Turning Radius – Quick and agile edge to edge at all speeds.
Shape
Twin Tip Shape
Core
Poplar / Ash Core – Poplar is a medium-weight, damp, vibration-absorbing softwood. Ash is a heavier hardwood that compliments the Poplar by increasing stiffness, responsiveness and providing a solid base for the binding screws.
Laminates
Bi-Axial/ Tri-axial Fiberglass – Fiberglass is used in two different formats to aid the compressional strength of the core and esnusre long-lasting pop.
Carbon Reinforcing – Carbon layer used to provide additional strength to the core against use on rails.
Matte ICP8210 Topsheet – Matte ICP8210 topsheets require no lacquering saving around 100 gm/pair, and reduces the use of not-quite-environmentally friendly lacquer. It also shows through the natural structure of the underlying laminate layers.
Sidewalls
Sandwich Construction – Used on most Faction skis. A traditional manufacturing method that provides strength, durability, good grip and edge hold. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.
Base
Die-Cut PTEX 4000 – Used on most Faction skis. Sintered PTEX 4000 base material is more porous and holds wax better than PTEX 2000.
Edges
1.8 mm Edges – Used on 99% of Faction's skis, the 1.8 mm hardened steel edges are strong and dependable.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius
Short < 16 m radius is best for carving.

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
