Prodigy 2 2024
60 days to change your mindThe Prodigy 2 2024 is a ski from Faction, designed for freestyle all-mountain use and intended for intermediate to advanced skiers.
The skis in the Prodigy range are designed for all-mountain use, but with certain freestyle or freeride features depending on the model. All
With a 98mm waist, the
The XL edges, the ultra-solid edges and the micro-cap anti-chip coating guarantee a long life for the ski and performance that remains the same over time.
Unthinkable a few years ago, we find ultra versatile skis that will go anywhere on the mountain! The Prodigy range focuses on a playful spirit while providing good performance if you fancy giving it your all.
The Prodigy 2 is a real versatile ski! In the air, it is well balanced and its tip and tail have a very playful character. Once you leave the groomed slopes, it finds itself at home in the powder. The middle ground dimensions allow you to have a lot of fun with a ski that has good float. Being less exclusive than the Mana 2, it will be more accessible to intermediate to advanced skiers, with a more fun DNA at a more affordable price.

Shape:
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/Ash core:
Poplar is a soft, light-coloured and strong wood that has good flex and pop, as well as a high capacity to absorb vibrations. Ash is a heavier and harder wood that combines well with poplar because it provides more rigidity and durability. This mix offers excellent edge hold on hard snow and a solid platform for big parties, and plenty of pop and flex to unleash your creativity.
Side cuts with elliptic radii
The sidecuts with elliptic radii consist of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radius 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. These sidecuts are perfectly suited to a wide range of turn angles and sizes.
XL 2.5 mm Edges
One might think that seven tenths of a millimetre doesn't have much of an effect, but when it comes to edges, everything matters. The 2.5 mm edges are 35% thicker than our standard 1.8 mm edges, which are already very sturdy. This addition of steel allows the riders to have a ski that will resist longer to the "stresses" associated with certain techniques.
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.
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.
At Faction, there are three possible mounting options: Classic / Progressive (+1.5cm) / Newschool (+3cm). By default, assemblies will be carried out in accordance with the brand's recommendations, i.e. Classic on the Dancer and Agent, Progressive on the Machine and Prodigy and Newschool on the Mana.
The Prodigy 2 keeps the same spirit as previous years: it's fun and versatile. It's pleasant in fresh snow that's not too deep, it's at ease in freestyle, and its behaviour is very playful, particularly in the tip and tail!
This ski is a blast! For every day of the season, all over the mountain.
Pros: Maximum versatility, great fun, core behaves very well on the slopes
Cons: A little less comfortable in deep powder.
