Quick overview

The Faction Candide 4.0 is a lightweight backcountry ski that sails through the powder and rips big mountain lines. The fine tailored early taper, rocker in the tip and tails plus a multi dimension sidecut make this 118mm waisted ski a very versatile and fun freeride ski. The Titanal plate in the middle part of the ski combined with the slight camber underfoot gives the 4.0 some extra traction to make shure it can handle the more serious lines and high speed turns in not ideal conditions. The weight is kept low buy the use of Balsa, Flax and Poplar in the Hybrid Core. A true Candide Thovex style ski to shred everywhere in the backcountry!

Details

Tapered True Twin
The ski is directional but has some taper in the tail aswell to encourage switch rides and landings.

Multi-dimension sidecut
Instead of one radius multiple radii are blended into one to give this a more versatile ride.

Anti-chip Micro-cap
Micro-cap construction on the topsheet increases the durability. No more topsheet chipping!

Titanal binding plate
In the middle part of the ski there is a Titanal plate laminated on the core to give the ski some extra strenght to make shure it can handle high speed turns in harsh conditions. 

Anti-scratch (textured) topsheet
The textured topsheet does not scratch like a smooth shiny topsheet. It sheds off snow very easily aswell. 

Die-cut ptex 3000
Very fast and durable base.

Camber
A 1mm camber gives this ski a little extra grip to make it more versatile and ready for some bigger lines.
 
Core
