Specific Shape Candide Thovex:
Between Candide and the first CT 5.0, it was love at first sight. After two seasons of good and loyal service, the CT 5.0's shape has been modified to perfection: a mix of new ideas with the original concept. The iconic silhouette of this multi-primed model can now be found throughout the CT range. Its slightly tapered tip and heel are combined with elliptical radius sidecut lines for maximum control and efficient, precise carving. A generous rocker combined with a light camber brings wonderful sensations and gives new energy to transform your day. The new CT range has been designed to adapt the shape to different practices, from big powder with the 5.0 to trampled slopes with the 1.0.

Construction :

Light paulownia/ poplar core:
Paulownia is a stable and lightweight wood. It is combined with softer poplar to boost flex and ski pop. The mixture of these two woods results in an ultra-light core that has maximum reactivity and dynamism, complementing and counterbalancing the attributes of the two integral layers of Titanal that sandwich the core.

Candide Thovex Specific Flex
Our living legend is constantly tweaking, adjusting, improving their designs and learning. Candide is convinced that to get the best out of a big rocker, it must be combined with a powerful and rigid heel and tip, to bring more stability and power to the ski in variable snow conditions. In addition, the rigid tips absorb vibrations better when landing jumps. Stiffening the flex underfoot increases the pop of the skis. This is the specific flex of Candid Thovex

Titanium reinforcement plates under the bindings:
When you go for a day's hiking in the backcountry, you must have complete faith in your equipment. Titanium reinforcing plates are placed over our lightweight cores to ensure a totally secure grip of the fastener screws. These monocoque plates are designed to accept either alpine or hiking bindings, thus improving the durability of these ultra-light cores.

Candide Thovex specific stance
As if Candide Thovex' specific flex and shape weren't enough, the world's best skier discovered a new single fitting point for the bindings. The narrowest part of the ski is the centre of the turn radius, and it happens to be the most intuitive place to trigger a "funky-freestyle" pivoting of the ski. This fitting point is also great for carving and sending ollies using tip or heel.

Sidecuts with elliptic radii:
The sidecuts with elliptic radii consist of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii on the front and rear parts of the ski. The long radius underfoot allows for faster and easier pivoting, while the shorter radii allow turns to be started more gently.

Full Strength Sidewall:
The full strength sidewall is a construction that applies layers of protective material along the edges of the sidewall, between the edge and the topsheet from above. The edges offer the best possible stability and grip when turning, while protecting the wooden core, edges and cover sheet from possible external impacts and damage.

Anti-Chip Micro-Cap:
The micro cap is a hybrid construction that combines the sandwich construction with premium edges, which is fused with a lightweight and durable cap construction. Thanks to the micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides exceptional edge hold and torsional stability, while the topsheet partially covers the edge, protecting the fragile edge that could otherwise chip off in the event of impact.
