evo.com | Faction Skis > A full fledged powder shape with tons of rocker at each end, the Faction Prodigy 4 Skis let you lay down some seriously creative tracks when the going gets deep. Built around a lightweight Poplar wood core with Faction's trademark XL 2.5mm edges and elliptical sidecut, the Prodigy is the perfect choice for tip butter and slash specialists when the snow is over a foot deep. Sintered UHMW Base 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 tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. 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. Flex Rating 8 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff) | Faction Prodigy 4 Skis 2025 - 179
