Prodigy 2 2023
Product not eligible for returnThe Prodigy 2 2023 is a ski from Faction, designed for freestyle all-mountain use and intended for intermediate to advanced 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 a 98mm waist, the Prodigy 2 are the most versatile skis in the range. Thanks to its poplar core, it is lively, light and has a very good pop, essential for a backcountry freestyle use worthy of the name. With this, all you have to do is press a little on the slats to enjoy great energy return and thus make bigger and bigger jumps and bar crossings.
The XL edges, the ultra-solid rims 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 Prodigy range focuses on a playful spirit while providing good performance if you fancy giving it your all.
The Prodigy 2 is a real versatile ski! In the air, it is well balanced and its tip and tail have a very playful character. Once you leave the groomed slopes, it finds itself at home in the powder. The middle ground dimensions allow you to have a lot of fun with a ski that has good float. Being less exclusive than the Mana 2, it will be more accessible to intermediate to advanced skiers, with a more fun DNA at a more affordable price.

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.
Le Prodigy 2 garde le même esprit que les années précédentes : du fun et de la polyvalence. Agréable en neige fraîche pas trop profonde, à l'aise en freestyle, son comportement est très joueur notamment en spatule et talon, parfait pour apprendre les butters et le switch.
Un ski qui met la banane ! Pour tous les jours de la saison, sur toute la montagne.
Les Plus : Polyvalence maximale, ultra-fun, noyau qui se comporte très bien sur piste
Les Moins : Un peu moins à l'aise en grosse poudreuse
