Built with the shape of the frontside specialist Dancer series, but with a heart of ultralight Karuba wood, a carbon-enhanced layup with Titanal only under the bindings, and skintrack-ready flat, notched tail, the Faction Agent 2 Skis are a top “touring” choice for technical backcountry skiers, but also excel on steep technical terrain, forests, and bumps. An excellent choice to mount up with a hybrid or full tech binding and take advantage of whatever seems the best option on any particular day.

Rocker Type
      Â
   Rocker-Camber-Rocker–        Tip Rocker: 163 = 320mm, 171 = 330mm, 177 = 340mm, 182 = 350mm, 187 = 360mm | Camber: All Sizes = 4mm | Tail Rocker: 163 = 190mm, 171 = 200mm, 177 = 200mm, 182 = 210mm, 187 = 220mm

Flex
      Â
   Flex Rating–        7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)
      Â
      Â
   Moustache Flex–        This flex works best for most skiers. Enjoy stability in front of, and behind the binding area to providesolid edge hold. Then, we transition to smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorball the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you. This flex allows for an easierturn initiation and finish.
      Â
Sidecut
      Â
   Elliptical Sidecut–        Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski.The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tailresult in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mountingpositions.
      Â
Shape
      Â
   Freeride Flat Tail–        Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns.Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn intoa slarve and won’t hook up in fresh conditions.
      Â
Core
      Â
   Lightweight Karuba Core–        Karuba is an extremely lightweight woodcore with good strength properties. Despite being little-known,Karuba provides excellent flex and vibration absorption capabilities without adding weight, making it anideal woodcore for a touring ski that performs just as well on the uphill as on the downhill.
      Â
Laminates
      Â
   Full Carbon Weave–        Between 8 and 12 strips of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding weight to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski.
      Â
      Â
   Titanal Binding Plate–        Adds pullout strength with minimal weight gain.
      Â
Sidewalls
      Â
   Microcap Full Strength Sidewall–        Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight,durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold andtorsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile jointthat can be prone to chipping.
      Â
Edges
      Â
   XL 2.5mm Edges–        Fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The2.5mm edges add an extra 25% of height to Faction’s standard 2mm edge, making for a stronger and more durable ski.

-    Terrain:    All-Mountain, Alpine Touring                                    All-MountainAll-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.                    Alpine TouringAlso known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.           Â
