Specific Shape Candide Thovex:
Between Candide and the first CT 5.0, it was love at first sight. After two seasons of good and loyal service, the CT 5.0's shape has been modified to perfection: a mix of new ideas with the original concept. The iconic silhouette of this multi-primed model can now be found throughout the CT range. Its slightly tapered tip and heel are combined with elliptical radius sidecut lines for maximum control and efficient, precise carving. A generous rocker combined with a light camber brings wonderful sensations and gives new energy to transform your day. The new CT range has been designed to adapt the shape to different practices, from big powder with the 5.0 to trampled slopes with the 1.0.

Construction :

Poplar core, beech:
Poplar is a soft, light-coloured and strong wood that has good flex and pop, as well as a high capacity to absorb vibrations. Beech is a darker coloured hardwood that is heavier and adds rigidity and dynamism. This allows us to obtain rather light skis that have excellent grip and are dynamic between turns, while maintaining a flex that is flexible enough to do ollies, slashs and butters on all the terrain that the mountain has to offer.

Flex specific Candide Thovex
Our living legend is constantly tweaking, adjusting, improving his designs and learning. Candide is convinced that to get the best out of a big rocker, it must be combined with a powerful and rigid heel and tip, to bring more stability and power to the ski in variable snow conditions. In addition, the rigid tips absorb vibrations better when landing jumps. Stiffening the flex underfoot increases the pop of the skis. This is the specific flex of Candid Thovex

Candide Thovex specific stance
As if Candide Thovex' specific flex and shape weren't enough, the world's best skier discovered a new single fitting point for the bindings. The narrowest part of the ski is the centre of the turn radius, and it happens to be the most intuitive place to trigger a "funky-freestyle" pivoting of the ski. This fitting point is also great for carving and sending ollies using tip or heel.

Ttaniul: rubber Stomp Pad:
Titanium and rubber reinforcements under the foot increase the resistance of our freestyle skis where it is most critical. In addition to protecting the wooden core from impacts when landing on rails, this carbon reinforcement adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, allowing you and your skis to land smoothly.

Sidecuts with elliptic radii:
The sidecuts with elliptic radii consist of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radius on the front and rear parts of the ski. The long radius underfoot allows for faster and easier pivoting, while the shorter radii allow curves to be started more gently.

Full Sidewall :
The full strength sidewall is a construction that applies layers of protective material along the edges of the sidewall, between the edge and the topsheet from above. The edges offer the best possible stability and grip when turning, while protecting the wooden core, edges and cover sheet from possible external impacts and damage.

Edges XL 2,5 mm:
One might think that seven tenths of a millimetre doesn't have much of an effect, but when it comes to edges, everything matters. The 2.5 mm edges are 35% thicker than our standard 1.8 mm edges, which are already very sturdy. This addition of steel makes the ski more resistant to abrasion for longer.

Anti Chip Micro-Cap:
The micro cap is a hybrid construction that combines the sandwich construction with premium edges, which is fused with a lightweight and durable cap construction. Thanks to the micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides exceptional edge hold and torsional stability, while the topsheet partially covers the edge, protecting the fragile edge that could otherwise chip in the event of impact.
