Faction Men’s Candide 3.0 2017/2018 Downhill Skis – Flat Ski Only, 182cm

You can trust in the Candide 3.0 when staring down giant backcountry booters or waist-deep pillow lines. A lightweight and responsive hybrid balsa flax core and progressive sidecut design make the ski easy to maneuver and equally at home whether ploughing through fresh snow or sending it through the air. A 108 mm waist width, camber underfoot and rocker provide float in pow and a solid edge hold that will rock the hard pack. Titanal reinforcement underfoot adds trustworthy durability when tapping trees and taking landings deep. Ideal for advanced to expert skiers. Versatile enough for all mountain skiing, the Candide 3.0 also shines in backcountry terrain.

Product Features

• HYBRID BALSA/FLAX CORE – Reinforce the lightweight, super strong Balsa with layers of robust flax fibres and you are left with a durable wood core that holds an edge like other skis twice its weight
• REDUCED TAPER SIDECUT – Moves the widest part of the ski away from the tip and tail, so that you don’t hook up your noses or feel drag on your tails when the conditions are prime
• MULTI-DIMENSION SIDECUT – A shorter radius underfoot keeps the ski nimble on the steep and narrow, and a longer radii blended to the tips and tails ensure a stable feel when you’re flying out the bottom
• TITANAL REINFORCEMENT – Titanal plates laid up on top of our hybrid balsa/flax cores ensure binding screws hold like nothing else and add durability to these super lightweight cores
• MICROCAP CONSTRUCTION – Sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, adding durability to the fragile join that can be prone to chipping
