Prodigy 0X 2023
The Prodigy 0X is an all-mountain ski from Faction designed for novice skiers.
The latest addition to the Prodigy range, the Prodigy 0X is built on the same base as the other models. Only the core and the side cuts vary from one model to another. All have a Twin Directional shape with two rockers at the ends which give it good behaviour and handling on all types of snow, both forward and backward.
The XL edges and the sandwich construction with ultra solid edges bring strength and durability to the skis and the elliptical radius side cuts allow for different types of turns, from carving on piste to big soft turns in fresh snow.
The Prodigy 0X is an excellent ski for learning to ski in general, but especially for discovering what you like best about skiing. Without excelling in one area, the Prodigy 0X is very versatile and allows you to try freeride, carving and snowpark. Once you have found what suits you best, feel free to buy a specific pair and keep the Prodigy 0X as your everyday skis.
Its soft flex of 6/10 and the Surf Zones technology make it a ski that forgives small mistakes and erases the slight edge errors that are inevitable when learning and improving skiing.
The Prodigy 0X from Faction is a brand new ski, designed for the new female skier who wants to take on the adventure.
Turn radius/Sidecut/weight (per pair):
143 cm: 11 m / 117-85-109 mm / 3120 g
150 cm: 12 m / 117-85-109 mm / 3220 g

164 cm: 15 m / 117-85-109 mm / 3420 g
Shape:
Directional Twin:
The tail is considerably thinner than the tip for increased performance. The twin tip makes them perfect for freestyle and riding in switch.
Construction:
Poplar/Ash core:
Poplar is a soft, light-coloured and strong wood that has good flex and pop, as well as a high capacity to absorb vibrations. Ash is a heavier and harder wood that combines well with poplar because it provides more rigidity and durability. This mix offers excellent edge hold on hard snow and a solid platform for big parties, and plenty of pop and flex to unleash your creativity.
Side cuts 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 turns to be started more gently. These sidecuts are perfectly suited to a wide range of turn angles and sizes.
XL 2.5 mm Edges
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 allows the riders to have a ski that will resist longer to the "stresses" associated with certain techniques.
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 off in the event of impact.
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.
