Ever find yourself having a great day on the slopes, feeling confident in your riding, only to be discouraged when a kid half your size rips by and drops something four times his size? We're sorry you had to see that, but in case you were wondering, he was riding the Faction Candide 2.0 Skis. A ski for big kids with big dreams, they're the perfect setup for lil' rippers who cruised through their beginner hand-me-downs and need something that'll keep up with their high-flying antics.
410mm Tip Rocker / Flat Camber / 390mm Progressive Tail Rocker
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Directional True Twin
Poplar 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 a park ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill.
Full Strength Sidewall – This construction places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the wood core, edges and topsheet from impacts and outside damage.
Micro Cap – 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.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
