evo.com | Faction Skis > The Faction Prodigy 3 Skis are the ideal big mountain "compromise" that excel in deeper snow but handle chop and hardpack with grace. The 106mm waisted Prodigy 3 loves speed but doesn't hesitate to spin or slarve in the moment, and lends itself to progressive freeride styles like nothing else in the industry. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. 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. 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) The Salomon Strive 14 MNC Ski Bindings and their LDN design put you close to the snow for maximum contact and response, enhancing power transmission and a natural on-snow feel. Lighter than previous designs like the Warden 13 and STH2 13, with multi-norm compatibility and 45mm of elastic travel to keep you in until you really need out, the Strive 14 MNC is the way of the future. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Low Profile Chassis A low stand height improves your feel for the terrain and enhances power transmission to the ski. LDN Toe (Low, Direct, Neutral) Low profile toe, very close to snow. Locking Brakes Multi Norm (MN) Compatible with ISO 5355 Alpine, ISO 9523 Touring, WTR (Walk to Ride) and GripWalk Soles. Not compatible with non-ISO 9523 standard touring soles with shortened toe and heel lugs. | Faction Prodigy 3 Skis 2026 - 178 Package (178 cm) + 100 Adult Alpine Bindings in Black Size 178/100
