Faction Prodigy 2.0 Artist Series
Description
Ride with the spirit of the Rockies with the Prodigy 2 Capsule, our latest collaboration with American artist Elsa Grace. Bringing together elements of Colorado's rich alpine flora, the design celebrates North America's most vast mountainous region.
The Prodigy 2 is a timeless fan favorite and best-seller, for good reason. It is the ultimate all-mountain ski with park DNA, designed to help you pop, stomp, and surf across any terrain. Its poplar core provides the perfect balance of softness and pop for buttering slushy rollers, while maintaining stiffness underfoot with a 98mm waist for serious carving.
For this newest model, we've integrated a carbon/rubber stomp pad to absorb all hits and vibrations, making your ride and creative expression smoother and more sure-footed than ever.The Faction Prodigy 2 Skis let you throw down with confidence regardless of where you are on the mountain - wide open faces, tight trees, groomers or the park, they'll let you flow to the best of your ability and keep coming back for more. With a directional twin shape around a sustainable Poplar wood core, and with a tough sidewall and 2.5mm edges for durability, the Prodigy 2 will keep stomping those lines for years.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Rocker - Camber - Rocker
Flex
Flex Rating – 7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)
Sidecut
Elliptical Sidecut – Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions.
Shape
Directional Twin – A considerably skinnier tail width than in the tip provides ultimate downhill performance for attacking the mountain. A twin tip in the tail encourages playfulness and freestyle attitude, meaning you can ride switch with ease.
Tip Height – 70mm
Tail Height – 56mm
Core
Sustainable Poplar Wood 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 an all-mountain freestyle ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill.
Sidewalls
Microcap Full Strength Sidewall – Micro-cap construction is 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.
Edges
XL 2.5mm Edges – Fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 25% of height on top of our already super-durable standard 2.0mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
