Prodigy 2 Youth 2024
The
The skis in the Prodigy range are designed for all-mountain use, but with certain freestyle or freeride specificities depending on the model. All Prodigy models are built in the same way with the same technologies. They 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. Only the core and the side cuts vary from one model to another.
With its 96mm waist and 149cm length, the
The 2.2mm edges, the ultra-solid edges and the micro-cap anti-chip coating guarantee a long life for the ski and performance that remains the same over time.
Unthinkable a few years ago, we find ultra versatile skis that will go anywhere on the mountain! The
This makes the
Turn radius / Sidecut / weight (per pair):
149 cm: 12 m / 127-96-123 mm / 2700 g
Shape:
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.
2.2 mm edges
You might think that seven tenths of a millimetre isn't much, but that's where you'd be wrong! When it comes to edges, everything is important! The 2.2 mm edges are thicker than our standard 2.0 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 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.
At Faction, there are three possible mounting options: Classic / Progressive (+1.5cm) / Newschool (+3cm). By default, assemblies will be carried out in accordance with the brand's recommendations, i.e. Classic on the Dancer and Agent, Progressive on the Machine and Prodigy and Newschool on the Mana.
