Powder Magazine Dream Trip Faction Skis Candide Thovex 4.0

FACTION SKIS CANDIDE THOVEX 4.0

$1,099.00

Shop Rat Description

For my Dream Trip, I’m taking the Faction Candide 4.0 to the land of birch trees, sushi, and deep powder. Really deep powder. New for 2014, the Candide 4.0 is a refined version of the Royale that has been widely popular the last few winters. The core is a lightweight balsa/flax, which is durable, damp, and by no means lacking in stability or rigidity. Solid in and out of the turn, lively in the pow, and lightweight, which greatly reduces fatigue throughout a long day. Zero camber underfoot and tip and tail rocker give this ski a playful, surfy feel. These skis are 800 grams lighter than the Royale, a huge difference since they don’t give up any performance. —Brit Barnes

Features

Lightweight Hybrid Core, Full Sandwich Construction, XL Tip and Tail Rocker, Flat Camber, Custom Matte Finish

Manufacturer's Description

“I loved the award-winning Royale, however, I wanted to make some minor tweaks to the flex and lighten it up. So we changed the core to a lightweight hybrid and refined the flex. The Candide 4.0 is unbelievably versatile considering its width and the firmer flex makes it perform in chopped-up snow, big mountain lines and pillows.” – Candide Thovex
