evo.com | Faction Skis > A more park-oriented version of the Prodigy 2, the Faction Prodigy 1 Skis are 10mm narrower and have denser Ash laminates added to the core for more strength, as well as the new Carbon Rubber Stomp Pads. A ski that you can session the park all day long on and still hang with your freeride bros for a few laps in the back bowls when the urge strikes. 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 7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff) | Faction Prodigy 1 Skis 2025 - 171 | Rubber
