Product description

The Agent Series is the solution of Faction for the modern, lightweight touring ski that’s highly efficient on the way up and absolutely epic going down.

Using a Karuba wood core for responsive, rebounding flex and a carbon weave to boost rigidity and stability, the Agent models are your best friend whether you’re searching for early season backcountry treasures or have your eyes set on that springtime couloir mission. So, go ahead: escape the crowds and earn yourself the untouched goods. When the pow day of your dreams presents itself, don't let the wrong tool spoil the occasion. Boasting more pronounced rocker than its sibling, the Agent 3, this lightweight charger is perfectly balanced for nimble turns and big, beautiful arcs on the apron. The Elliptical Sidecut allows the Agent 4 to be mounted further forward for a freestyle-minded ride. Camber and a carbon weave allow it to preform phenomenally on piste, too.

Lightweight Balsa Pachaco Core
Lightweight Balsa Pachaco Core:
Karuba is an extremely lightweight wood core with good strength properties. Little known Karuba offers good flex and excellent vibration damping without adding weight. This makes it a perfect wood core for a touring ski that delivers full performance both downhill and uphill.
Carbon Stringer
Carbon Stringer:
A carbon weave sandwiches the ski’s wood core, providing extra stability and torsional rigidity without adding bulk to the build. Feel confident when you're about to pop to the Moon. Between 8 and 12 strips of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding bulk to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski.
XL 2.5mm Edges
XL 2.5mm Edges:
7 fractions of a millimetre might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 35% of height on top of Factions already super-durable standard 1.8mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
Full Strength Sidewall
Full Strength Sidewall:
A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the woodcore, edges and topsheet from impact and outside damage.
Elliptical Radius Sidecut
Elliptical Radius Sidecut:
Elliptical Radius 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 seamless turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turns lengths and angles.
 Anti-Chip Micro Cap
Anti-Chip Micro Cap:
Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile join that can be prone to chipping.
Mustache Flex
Mustache Flex:
The "Mustache Flex" offers stability underfoot for solid edge hold, with a 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 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 progression and for an easier turn initiation and finish
Freeride Flat Tail
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.
Resistant Cover Sheet
Resistant Cover Sheet:
We process only the best topsheet materials available and test them extensively to guarantee they will stand up to the toughest use. For a greener supply chain, materials are sourced from near our factories in Europe.
Sustainability
Sustainably-Harvested Wood Core
Sustainably-Harvested Wood Core:
The Faction poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near the European Faction factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances. The raw materials are FSC accredited. This means that the forests from which their wood is sourced are managed to support environmental and societal sustainability.
Recycled Materials
Recycled Materials:
Built with recycled materials, never sacrificing durability. Faction is working with their production partners to eliminate material waste. They now mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring the same level of quality & durability. As a fun fact, by integrating recycled materials into their ski bases, they reduce the ecological impact of our bases by 75%.
Locally Sourced Materials
Locally Sourced Materials:
In an effort to reduce the impact of their supply chain, Faction strives to source materials from European companies that are based near their factories.
1% for the Planet
1% for the Planet:
As a proud partner of 1% for the Planet, Faction donates 1% of all sales of their Agent, La Machine and Dancer Series skis to approved environmental non-profits. 1% for the Planet’s mission is to build, support and activate an alliance of businesses that are financially committed to mitigating human-driven climate change.
100% Renewable Energy Factory
100% Renewable Energy Factory:
This ski is produced in a cutting-edge facility that runs on electrical power that is 100% renewable. Additionally, its heating energy comes solely from biomass. The factory no longer uses oil, resulting in annual CO2 emissions reductions of a whopping 10 million kilograms.
