Prodigy 2.0 2020
60 days to change your mind
No subject to promotional offersThe Prodigy 2.0 2020 is an all-mountain Freestyle men's ski from Faction.
The Prodigy range is a Freestyle/All Mountain range, typical of the modern spirit of the Swiss brand Faction yet accessible to intermediate to experienced skiers. With their poplar/beech wooden core construction, Prodigy skis are dynamic, lively and lightweight. The Prodigy range sidecuts are progressive, the widest parts at the tip and tail reducing towards the middle of the ski, in order to improve the ability to float on powder while still being at home carving on the piste. Unthinkable a few years ago, we find here ultra versatile skis that will go anywhere on the mountain. The Prodigy range focuses on a playful spirit while providing good performance if you attack a little. The tails rising to the long rockers give an easy ski to pivot and switch with and giving a resolutely modern style.
2.0: The Prodigy series is available in 4 versions and the Prodigy 2.0 is the most versatile of the range with its 98 mm waist. Big brother to the Prodigy 1.0 X, this one has a sandwich construction to get a better grip on hard snow. Its somewhat softer flex gives it an even more fun personality. On powdery days, the Prodigy 2.0 X and its intermediate dimensions will allow you to have fun with a good capacity to take off and float. In the air, the Prodigy 2.0 is well balanced and its tip and tail have a very playful character. Less exclusive than the Candide 2.0, they are more accessible to intermediate to advanced skiers. More fun at a more affordable price!

Shape:
Directional Twin:
The tail is considerably thinner than the tip for increased performance. The twin tip makes them perfect for freestyle and riding in switch.
Construction:
Poplar core:
Poplar is a soft, light-coloured, lightweight and strong wood that has good flex and pop, as well as a high capacity to absorb vibrations. When used alone, this wood provides pop, makes it easy to make butters and offers great stability when landing, three attributes necessary for a park ski, but also the torsional stability to ensure good grip on the pistes.
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.
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 curves to be started more gently. These sidecuts are perfectly suited to a wide range of curve angles and lengths.
Surf Zones:
SurfZone technology is designed to combine the Rocker with the tapered shape of the tips to ensure that these two key characteristics are in perfect harmony. The Rocker provides lift and helps in the pivoting of the ski, while the Tapered Tip allows the widest part of the ski to be closer to the centre and thus reduce the risk of unwanted gripping by the edge. This technology gives an excellent lift and a gentle feel, whatever the conditions.
XL 2.5 mm edges:
You might think that seven-tenths of a millimetre is not much, but when it comes to edges, everything is important. The 2.5 mm edges are 35% thicker than our standard 1.8 mm edges, which are already very sturdy. This addition of steel makes the ski more resistant to "aggressions" related to certain practices for longer.
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 flake off in the event of impact.
The Prodigy 2.0 maintains the same fun and versatile spirit as last year. Comfortable in fresh snow (not too deep), at ease in freestyle mode, it has a very playful behaviour, especially at the tip and tail, making it perfect for learning how to butter and ski in switch.
For every day of the season, all over the mountain.
The Pros: Maximum versatility, super fun, new core that behaves very well on the piste
The Cons: Not the same performance as the Candide range but so much more accessible to skiers who do not necessarily have an expert level
