The updated Dictator 2.0 turns the whole mountain into a freeride playground. Dual Titanal layers & a lightweight, energetic woodcore blend power with lightweight responsiveness so that you can trust your skis, whether you’re kick-turning the top of that narrow couloir or arcing high speed turns through the crud below. The paulownia/poplar core makes a good blend, paulownia is light & stable, poplar adds flex & extra pop. An elliptical sidecut brings a long radius underfoot with shorter radius at the tips & tails to ensure skiers are never completely locked into a turn, so they can scrub speed or switch direction on a dime, essential when skiing variable terrain. Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip & control throughout charging turns. Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn into a slarve & won’t hook up in fresh conditions. Surf Zones unite the rocker with taper that moves the widest part closer to the centre to remove unwanted hooking in the turn. Full Strength Sidewalls increase protection for the core & improve edge hold on firmer snow; 2.5m edges add plenty of resistance from rock damage. A Tip & Tail Cap uses sidewalls underfoot for grip & control & wraps the tip/tails with the topsheet to protect them from impacts & to reduce weight. If you want the feel of a modern ski, but the power & control for charging, then the Dictator 2.0 has what you need. ...

The narrowest in the Mana range, the Mana 2 is a high-performance, all-terrain freestyle ski that feels playful & fun but has the stability to ski smoothly in any condition. Boat Flex uses a heavy rocker complemented by solid, stiffer tips & tails, to help settle the skis & power though variable snow, in addition, the stiff tips absorb more vibrations on landings. A touch more flex underfoot allows the skis to load & pop on request. The Full Carbon Weave either side of the poplar core adds stability without weight, stiffening the full length of ski; the Carbon/ Rubber Stomp Pad adds to the strength, boosts vibration absorption & protects from heavy impacts. An Elliptical Sidecut uses a longer radius underfoot & shorter radii in the tip & tail of the ski, the long radius underfoot means you can pivot easily while the shorter radius results in simpler turn initiation. For freestylers & freeskiers who ignore categories & ski everything from tight carves on groomers to fr... ...

The Mana 3 is no-holds-barred skiing, anything is possible: stomp cliffs,  huck wind lips, ski powder or just cruise the mountain having fun.  The modest 112 mm waist width effortlessly balances performance, precision, & playfulness, making the ski a freestyle-inspired quiver-killer for your all-mountain & freeride needs. The sustainably harvested poplar core construction is complemented by generous rocker & a hint of camber, resulting in a ski that presses & pivots with catch-free confidence, without sacrificing edge hold & stability at speed. The Mana 3 comes with Faction's unique rubber/carbon stomp pad to give you the support you need for skiing hard in all conditions. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type They truly shine in softer snow but it is capable anywhere, especially if you have a freestyle mindset.

Whether you’re making sparks on handrails at midnight or dialling-in your style on the biggest features at your local park, the CT 1.0 is going to roll with the hits. Blending a playful shape & flex with strong construction materials, this ski is built to meet all your park skiing needs. If you want to maximize your park ability, then CT 1.0 is going to need to be on your feet. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type It’s a park ski but it peforms surprisingly well all mountain & on groomers where it can lay down clean turns with plenty of energy, keeping up with many piste & firm snow dedicated models. It’s rails, jumps, hips & the like where it’s pop, response & balance really shine. Skier Type This is Candide’s park model, the ski for hitting manmade features. You might not be able to match his effortless style & huge tricks, but at least you won’t be blaming your kit. The CT 1.0 uses the best design & the best materials, no compromise. Overview Shape 92mm underfoot is the sweet spot for a park ski that loses no performance & can rip when all mountain. An 18m (178cm) radius offers stability on landings & rougher or soft snow & still feels easy to use when shredding turns. The near-symmetrical twin shape ensures effortless switch skiing. The CT Signature Shape gives the ski an effortless feel wherever it’s used. Rocker Tip & Tail  Rocker uses traditional camber underfoot for response & good edge grip,  with rocker at the tip & tail to improve manoeuvrability by aiding turn initiation & completion.  Core Full wood core blends harder beech wood & lighter poplar to create a lively, durable & relatively light core. Ideal for a ski that wants to feel poppy and responsive while remaining tough. A Titanal / Rubber Stomp Pad is placed underfoot for additional strength, as well as protecting the wood core against heavy duty impact on rails, the  Titanal and rubber adds stability & vibration. Construction Full Strength Sidewalls place strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge & the topsheet. This provides the best possible edge hold & stability when the ski is engaged in a turn,  as well as protecting the woodcore, edges and topsheet from impact & outside damage.  On top of this is an  Anti-Chip Micro-Cap, a hybrid of a full strength, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With Micro-Cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold & torsional stability,  while the ski’s topsheet wraps around & meets the sidewall protecting the fragile join that can be prone to chipping. Key Features CT Signature Shape, Flex & Stance Designed by the man himself, Candide Thovex, & the very same skis that he rides straight out of the wrapper. Based on the CT 5.0, the shape is retro-fitted to the narrower models in the range. SIGNATURe SHAPe: Moderately tapered tips & tails are complemented by an elliptical Radius sidecut for efficient, precise handling & carving. A combination of generous rocker & modest camber results in a wonderfully playful character, injecting new energy into an otherwise routine day on the mountain. SIGNATURe FLe X: Candide is never not tinkering, tweaking, learning, improving. He’s adamant that bigger rocker is best complemented by solid, stiffer tips & tails to help settle the skis & power through variable snow. in addition, the stiff tips absorb more vibration when skiers touch down after going airborne. Just add a touch more flex under foot & it allows the skis to load up & POP on request. Welcome to the Candide Thovex Signature Flex. SIGNATURe STANCe: The narrowest spot on the ski is the centre of the radius, & it happens to be the most intuitive place from which to initiate pivoting of the funkfreaky-freestyle variety. Mounting here also works wonders for carving & popping off the back & front of your skis.XL 2.5mm edges Thicker edges mean increased durability & impact resistance, crucial for a ski that is built to test the rule book. elliptic Radius Sidecutelliptical Radius  Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot & shorter radii in the tip & tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster & easier, while a shorter radius in the tip & tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turns lengths, angles & mounting positions.e B tester’s comments: Luke (Buying Team) Well suited for someone looking for a high-end freestyle ski with loads of energy.
