Faction CT 5.0 2020
Faction and the enigma that is Candide Thovex reworked the original CT 4.0 to produce the new Faction CT 5.0 2020. Thovex’s widest pro model features an ultralight balsa and pacheco—a lesser-known hardwood—wood core that produces an easy-to-maneuver yet solid feel. While the CT 5.0 boasts a super playful flex, its beefy 25 meter turn radius really allows you to lay ‘em out in open terrain.
FREESKIER tester thoughts: “Fat boy brilliance. Frontwards and backwards, this ski rips the big stuff with ease. Point and send with a center-mounted binding, just pop over anything and find transitions to your heart’s content.”
“Confidence-inspiring, super playful and poppy. Try to ski like Candide on these and you won’t be disappointed.”
