Prodigy 2 (26/27)

The best-seller in the fusion freeride/freestyle Prodigy Series stays largely unchanged for the new season. With their 98mm waist and near-twin shaping, the Faction Prodigy 2 Skis blast like a missile forwards, backwards and around the bend without missing a beat, and get our nod for one of the best daily drivers in the business.

Rocker Type:

Rocker-Camber-Rocker: 20% Tip Rocker, 3mm Camber, 16% Tail Rocker

Flex:

Flex Rating: 7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)

Shape:

Directional Twin

Core:

Lightweight Poplar Core: Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like an all-mountain freestyle ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill.

Laminates:

Carbon/Rubber Stomp Pad: Adds to response and dampens shocks

Base:

Sintered UHMW Base

Edges:

XL 2.5mm Edges: Fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges add an extra 25% of height to Faction's standard 2mm edge, making for a stronger and more durable ski.
