Faction Candide CT 3.0 Skis - 2019

Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 330 mm tip rocker, 2 mm camber, 320 mm subtle tail rocker

Flex: 7 / 10 – (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)

Directional True Twin – There is some tail taper in this ski, but the design is meant to encourage switch skiing and jibbing.

Hybrid Balsa-Poplar-Flax Core – Balsa is a sandy-colored softwood with exceptional strength for its light weight. Reinforce the super lightweight Balsa with earthy-colored, robust Flax fibre plus Poplar strips and you have a durable wood core that holds an edge like skis twice the weight. During the drying process, cells of water in the Balsa wood are driven off, leaving behind a strong core with no excess weight.

Titanal Binding Plate

Full Strength Sidewall Construction with Microcap – Sandwich sidewall construction for power and edgehold, with a topsheet that wraps around and meets the sidewall for durability.

Die-Cut P-Tex 3000

Anti-Scratch Textured Topsheet

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Spend your mornings laying down first tracks then your afternoons airing natural hits and crushing steep freeride lines? The ct 3.0 has a versatile 108mm waist that floats with ease in the deep snow but is also manageable and responsive in choppy and harder conditions. Designed with candide, the freestyle-inspired shape with a tapered sidecut makes the ski easy to press and wash out when you want to jib, but also holds a strong edge when you ask more from it at high speeds. The updated hybrid core keeps the weight down but adds extra durability and life while the titanal plate underfoot makes sure you can rely on your bindings to hold when you demand the most of them. This is the perfect one ski quiver for the rider who is always on the lookout for fresh goods and needs a lightweight, versatile ski to rip up the whole mountain.

Technology:

A considerably skinnier tail width than in the tip provides ultimate downhill performance for attacking the mountain. A twin tip in the tail encourages playfulness and freestyle attitude, meaning you can ride switch without problem.

Anti-chip micro-cap and anti-scratch topsheet adds extra protection and a fresh look

We reinforce the super lightweight Balsa with robust Flax fibres plus Poplar strips crreating a durable wood core that holds an edge like other skis twice its weight.

With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile join that can be prone to chipping.
