Faction CT 2.0
Designed by Faction’s engineers in collaboration with legendary athlete Candide Thovex, the Faction CT 2.0 has the figure of an all-mountain ripper but embodies the soul of a park skier. Built with a poplar and beech core, the ski stays light while Thovex’s Signature Flex—stiff and rockered tips and tails—eliminates off-putting vibrations and provides an inspiring dose of pop and play. Updated construction offers an elliptical radius sidecut for more of that quintessential, surfy Thovex style, and a combination Titanal-rubber “stomp pad” underfoot ensures every landing is confident. The Faction CT 2.0 can be compared a good ‘ol mullet: Riding it is one big party but it knows how to get down to business, too.
FREESKIER tester thoughts:
“Stiffer tails and a damp ride provide plenty of support when carving at high speed. The energetic core and playful shape help the ski perform well in a freestyle setting.”
