This flex works best for most skiers. Enjoy stability in front of, and behind the binding area to provide solid edge hold. Then, we transition to smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you. This flex allows for an easier turn initiation and finish.
Elliptical Sidecut – Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions.
Freeride Flat Tail – Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns. Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn into a slarve and won’t hook up in fresh conditions.
Tip Height – 73mm
Tail Height – 27mm
Lightweight Karuba Core – Karuba is an extremely lightweight woodcore with good strength properties. Despite being little-known, Karuba provides excellent flex and vibration absorption capabilities without adding weight, making it an ideal woodcore for a touring ski that performs just as well on the uphill as on the downhill.
A purpose-built deep powder touring machine suitable for the likes of interior British Columbia or the island of Hokkaido, the Faction Agent 4 Skis combine an ultra-fat profile with a flatter tail for better edge contact on the skin track and improved skin compatibility. Tons of tip rocker and a softer flex up front mean easy-peasy flotation in anything untracked, and the overall weight is impressive for the width of the ski. You know how crazy the scene is at the area on a powder day, get the Agent 4 and a good tech binding and get those fresh tracks without all the competition.
