Prodigy 1X 2023
Product not eligible for returnThe Prodigy 1X 2023 is a ski from Faction, designed for freestyle / all-mountain use and intended for intermediate skiers.
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 an 88mm waist, the Prodigy 1X 2023 is the second narrowest ski in the female range. Thanks to its hybrid poplar-ash core construction, it is light, dynamic and offers a solid and durable platform for big landings. The XL edges and the ultra solid rims provide very good behaviour in the park and on hard snow and considerably extend the life of the ski.
Thus, the Prodigy 1X is a true all-mountain ski with a preference for freestyle! At ease on and off-piste, it is even more so in the park. In the air, the Prodigy 1X is well balanced, the tip and tail have a very playful character. Slightly less exclusive than the Mana, they will be more accessible to intermediate to advanced skiers, with a more fun DNA at a more affordable price.
Turn radius/Sidecut/weight (per pair):

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.
Full Strength 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.
Le Prodigy 1X 2023 est encore plus fun et maniable que son modèle précédent. Son comportement en freestyle est toujours au top, le ski est extrêmement joueur sans que cela n'altère trop la stabilité. Un vrai ski polyvalent, moderne et sacrément fun !
Les Plus : Fun, maniabilité, légèreté
