The Agent Series
The Faction Agent series includes modern and lightweight touring skis that are easy on the ascent but perform just as well on the descent. The Karuba wood core provides a responsive and resilient flex and the carbon stringers provide more rigidity and stability. The Agent models are your best friend - whether you're searching for white gold in the backcountry at the start of the season or waiting for the couloir mission in spring.
Technology
Carbon Stringer
Between 8 and 12 unidirectional carbon strips enclose both sides of the wood core, giving the ski additional stability without increasing its weight. Each carbon strip is woven into the fibreglass for added stability and stiffness throughout the ski.
Lightweight Karuba core
Karuba is an extremely light wood core with good strength properties. The little known Karuba offers good flex and excellent vibration dampening without adding weight. This makes it a a perfect wood core for a touring ski that delivers full performance both downhill and uphill.
XL 2.5 mm edges
0.7 mm may not seem like much, but when it comes to edges, they make all the difference. At 2.5 mm, our already super-durable 1.8mm standard edges are a further 35 % wider. This extra steel gives riders a pair of skis that can withstand higher loads and are more durable.
Elliptical sidecut
The sidecut with an elliptical radius consists of a longer radius under the foot and shorter radii in the shovel and tail. The wide radius in the centre increases the ease of turning, while the shorter radius in the tip and tail enables easier turn initiation. This sidecut guarantees a wide range of turn lengths, radii and mounting positions.
