Faction Candide 3.0 Skis 2015

The Faction Candide 3.0 Skis are ideal for the multi-faceted skier in search of pow, and are just as comfortable skiing glorious fluff to what looked like a great chute until closer inspection. Because sluffed-out coulies and ice are a thing, and we can't all go heli-skiing, the Candide 3.0 is there for you, with 1 mm camber and a full sidewall construction for solid edging on the hard stuff. Plus, the ultra-light balsa/flax core means you will notice a difference in swing weight and leg fatigue. Flowing from the best lines of the season in the morning, to the chopped up stuff of the afternoon without skipping a beat, the Faction Candide 3.0 holds it down.

Product Details

Rocker Type:

1 mm Camber: Positive turn initiation on-piste, quick edge-response off-piste.

L Tip Rocker: 10 mm of Rocker over 200 mm of length.

M Tail Rocker: 5 mm of Rocker over 150 mm of length.

Flex:

Medium-Stiff Flex: Stable, solid ride at speed. Less forgiving than a softer ski.

Sidecut:

Full Length Sidecut: Classic, smooth sidecut for full contact when edging in all conditions.

Shape:

Lightweight Freeride Twin: Light and nimble for it's size, ideal for chutes, spines and pow but comfortable all over the mountain.

Core:

Balsa/Flax Core: Balsa is an exceptionally light hardwood. Laminated vertically together divided by strips of woven flax (also known as linseed), to provide additional torsional and compression strength. Lighter than Poplar/Ash but more expensive.

Laminates:

Matte EC4060 Topsheet: Matte EC4060 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.

Phenol Binding Plate: Phenol is a hard plastic material that secures the binding screws. The one-piece design fits most touring bindings with centre screws.

Fibreglass: Laminates like fibreglass are used to compliment the properties of the core material by increasing torsional strength, edge-grip and rebound.

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: 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 skis, the 1.8 mm hardened steel edges are strong and dependable.

Graphics:

Silkscreen Printing: Used on 90% of Faction skis, silkscreen printing provides bright, strong colours that help our skis pop in-store and on-snow. Unlike the sublimation process used by many competitors, very little waste is created using this method, and water-based inks are used to reduce environmental impacts.
