In short

The Faction Agent 1 is a lightweight all-mountain touring ski designed for skiers who value efficiency on the ascent without compromising performance on the descent. Its Karuba wood core provides responsive flex, while the full carbon weave adds torsional stability for precise edge hold in varied conditions. With an 86 mm waist and an Elliptical Sidecut, the Agent 1 excels in both tight turns and open slopes, making it a reliable choice for off-piste exploration and backcountry adventures.

In detail

Rocker Camber Small Rise
Skis with a rocker in the tip, camber in the middle and a small rise in the tail are very versatile. The ski is easy to turn, and the camber under the foot gives the ski grip on harder snow. The tail is slightly raised, but it is not like a full rocker. This makes for a balanced combination of easy turning and carving, without compromising on stability.

Directional Shape
The tip in this ski is softer than the tail. This makes it easy to turn, while the stiffer tail provides stability and control when steering the turn.

Elliptical Sidecut
The Elliptical Sidecut consists of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot allows for faster and easier pivoting, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail results in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions.

Woodcore
The core consists of specifically selected wood types that are laminated in different compositions into a solid core. This gives the designers control over all the characteristics of the ski.

Carbon Reinforcement
Carbon is integrated into the ski construction to reinforce the core without adding unnecessary weight. Known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, carbon increases responsiveness, stability, and power transmission while keeping the ski light and agile. This results in a more precise and energetic skiing experience.

Titanal Binding Plate
A Titanal plate positioned under the binding provides a robust and durable mounting platform, ensuring direct power transmission to the ski. It increases torsional stiffness and reduces vibrations, resulting in a more stable and controlled skiing experience—especially at higher speeds.

Sidewall Construction
A durable PU sidewall seals and protects the ski’s layered construction while adding structural strength. By improving power transfer from the skier to the edges, sidewall construction delivers better edge grip, increased stability at speed, and more precise handling. It also enhances durability and impact resistance for long-lasting performance.

Faction Mounting Guide
The Faction Collective mounting point recommendation: a subtle difference in mounting position can greatly enhance your skiing experience.

Newschool +3cm: you crave a playful ski for twin-tip-inspired riding.

Progressive +1,5: awesome versatility, carving & slashing, best of both worlds.

Classic offers optimal carving prowess and flotation in deep snow.

Technical

Characteristics

Shape

The shape of a touring ski is designed to provide a good balance between efficient climbing and downhill performance. With 86 mm underfoot, the ski remains manoeuvrable and relatively light while providing sufficient flotation in softer snow.
Profile

A Tip & Tail Rocker profile has an earlier-rising tip and tail with camber underfoot. This makes the ski easier to turn and increases versatility in soft and variable snow.
Ski core

Focused on reducing the overall weight of the ski. This makes the ski feel lighter and requires less effort to steer and carry.
Ski outline

Features a longer and generally wider tip than tail, with the sidecut positioned further back. This makes the shape clearly focused on forward skiing and provides more support and direction when entering and exiting a turn.
Side wall

Combines sidewall and cap construction within the same ski. The sidewall is used where direct power transfer is desired, while the cap construction on other sections can help reduce weight and create a more accessible skiing feel.
Core Tech

Titanal reinforcement adds damping, torsional stiffness and a more composed feel to the ski. This makes the ski feel more precise and stable at higher speeds and on hard snow, although titanal also adds weight.
Core Tech

Lightweight carbon reinforcement can add stiffness and a more direct response without adding much weight. This helps the ski remain light while still providing support, although the exact effect depends strongly on the amount and placement of the carbon.
Core Tech

A reinforcement plate around the binding mounting area. It supports the connection between the ski and binding, distributes forces over a larger area and can provide more direct power transfer underfoot.
Flex

Offers a good balance between easy flexing and sufficient support. This keeps the ski accessible at a relaxed pace while providing more stability and control as speed and load increase.
Radius

With a radius of 19m @ 178cm, this ski offers a good balance between easy turn initiation and stability at speed. It feels predictable in short to medium-length turns and remains stable as the pace increases.
