Faction Men's Prodigy 2.0 Collab Freestyle Skis 2021

Product Description

The Prodigy 2.0 is the ultimate all-mountain shred-tool & this limited edition Collab version with Wells Lamont ramps the style up to match the performance. It's packing the right ingredients to help you jump, stomp & surf all over the mountain. The poplar core is soft & poppy to butter slushy rollers while maintaining stiffness underfoot, meaning the only way to beat your last run, is to go back up for another one. Tip & tail rocker are reduced compared to the 1.0 & 3.0 models, giving this 2.0 a more solid feel, without affecting the float & easy pivoting. Surf zones mellow the handling & make buttering easy; the elliptic Radius Sidecut gives the ski a dynamic feel for mixing up the turn shapes. Venture into the park & the hardened 2.5mm edges ensures the ski is durable on rails; the 98mm waist helps you stomp landings. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type Skiing everything with a bias towards playing around on the pistes & off the sides.  Skier Type Advanced & intermediate freestyle skiers who want to ski all mountain. It’s not hard to use, with a flex that’s firm enough to work in rougher conditions and still soft enough for easy handling, butters & smears as well as riding in fresh snow.  Overview Shape It’s a directional twin with a tail quite a bit narrower than than tip,  built for carving & slarving with occasional switch landings and skiing backwards. The tail rocker is smaller than on the CT 2.0, making the ski feel more supportive. 98mm in the waist works in a variety of terrain, not too wide or narrow; the 20m (183cm) helps keep things stable. 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 A poplar core is a great balance of lightness with durability & good pop, perfect features for an all mountain freestyle ski.  It makes the Prodigy 2.0 slightly softer than the CT 2.0, adding to the ease of use. Construction Full Strength Sidewalls run the length of the ski & optimise the precision & edge hold. On top of this is a Anti-Chip Micro-Cap that rounds off the topsheet where it meets the sidewall, increasing durability & better resisting the little dings & bangs.   Key Features Surf Zones Surf  Zones ensure smooth,  playful transitions, blending the softer tip & tail flex with the firmer flex underfoot.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: Mark (Trainer) A one ski quiver for freestylers. They’re dialled-in for messing about on, surprisingly capable on hard pack and fun off to the side in variable conditions.  Technical Specifications Size (cm) Tip Width (mm) Waist Width (mm) Tail Width (mm) Radius (m) Weight (g)1771279811918181018312798119201860 General Information Skier Ability: Intermediate/ Advanced/expert Terrain Type: Freestyle Rocker: Tip/ Tail Rocker Radius: Medium Base: Sintered Bindings: n/a DIN: n/a Construction: Mini Cap Full Sidewall Core: Wood Demo: No Sizing Description: eye level for the maximum ease of spinning & rail tricks, but you need to go bigger for extra stability or speed & for all mountain versatility, especially important on the wider models that are designed to spend more time away from the park.
