Faction Candide 4.0 Skis 2017

The crown jewel of the CT Signature Line, the Candide Thovex 4.0 Skis are back with a new rocker profile, slimmer waist, and a multiple sidecut design. It still features that same loose feel that wants to go fast, be in the air, and send 'er, but now features a few design tweaks. At 118 underfoot, the new Faction Candide 4.0 Skis are a bit more manageable in the air and in variable conditions, and the added camber underfoot provides that extra bit of bite when things are firm. Toss in a slarve-friendly sidecut, and you've got a pow ski that won't fold when you decide to get ultra-sendy with the boys.

Product Details

Rocker Type:

Rocker / Camber / Rocker: 15 mm of rocker over 300 mm in the tip, 1 mm of camber underfoot, 10 mm of rocker over 250 mm in the tail.

Sidecut:

Multi-Radius Sidecuts: Instead of going directly from sidecut to taper, Faction uses multiple sidecuts to straighten out the ski before the taper. This creates a fluid ride with smooth transitions from carve to slide.

Core:

Balsa Flax Core: Balsa is an exceptionally light hardwood. The core is laminated vertically and divided by strips of woven Flax to provide additional torsional and compression strength.

Laminates:

Titanal Plates: Titanal plates secure the binding screws. The one peice design fits most touring bindings with center screws.

Sidewalls:

Sandwich Construction: Used on most of Faction's 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.

Micro-Cap Protection: Continuing efforts to improve chip-resistance in their skis, Faction incorporated a 'micro' cap where the topsheet meets the sidewall on sandwich constructed skis.

Base:

Die-Cut PTEX 4000 Base: Used on most Faction Skis. Sintered PTEX 4000 base material is more porous and holds wax well.

Graphics:

Matte Topsheet: Matte ICP8210 topsheets require no lacquering saving around 100gm/pair, and reduces the use of not-quite-environmentally friendly lacquer. It also shows through the natural structure of the underlying laminate layers.
