Prodigy 2 Capsule skis 2025

About Faction Prodigy 2 Capsule skis 2025

Ride with the spirit of the Rockies with the Prodigy 2 Capsule, our latest collaboration with American artist Elsa Grace. Bringing together elements of Colorado's rich alpine flora, the design celebrates North America's most vast mountainous region.

The Prodigy 2 is a timeless fan favorite and best-seller, and for good reason. It is the ultimate all-mountain ski with park DNA, designed to help you pop, stomp, and surf across any terrain. Its poplar core provides the perfect balance of softness and pop for buttering slushy rollers, while maintaining stiffness underfoot with a 98mm waist for serious carving.

For this newest model, we've integrated a carbon/rubber stomp pad to absorb all hits and vibrations, making your ride and creative expression smoother and more sure-footed than ever.

FEATURES

Directional twin
A considerably skinnier tail width than in the tip provides ultimate downhill performance for attacking the mountain. A twin tip in the tail encourages playfulness and freestyle attitude, meaning you can ride switch with ease.

Poplar core  
Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, and durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. It enhances performance by providing impressive pop, buttering, and stability. Poplar ensures skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on the downhill and in the park.

Carbon and rubber stomp pad  
A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon & rubber inlay adds strength where it matters most. Protecting not only the wood core from heavy-duty impacts, it adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, both for you and your skis.

Recycled materials  
We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability.

Locally sourced materials  
To reduce the impact of our production supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based close to our factories. Reduce distance, reduce emissions, reduce impact.

XL 2.5mm edges  
A ski's edge is critical to its performance and handling. Our skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They're built to last.

Full strength sidewall  
Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL full strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak, and itinerary.

Elliptical sidecut  
The elliptical sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and a shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control.

Anti-chip micro-cap  
The anti-chip micro-cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the micro-cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain.

Moustache flex  
The 'moustache flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish.
