A purpose-built deep powder touring machine suitable for the likes of interior British Columbia or the island of Hokkaido, the Faction Agent 4 Skis combine an ultra-fat profile with a flatter tail for better edge contact on the skin track and improved skin compatibility. Tons of tip rocker and a softer flex up front mean easy-peasy flotation in anything untracked, and the overall weight is impressive for the width of the ski. You know how crazy the scene is at the area on a powder day, get the Agent 4 and a good tech binding and get those fresh tracks without all the competition.

Rocker Type

Rocker-Camber-Rocker– Tip Rocker: 179 = 410mm, 185 = 430mm, 191 = 450mm | Camber: All Sizes = 2mm | Tail Rocker: 179 = 250mm, 185 = 260mm, 191 = 270mm

Flex

Flex Rating– 7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)

Moustache Flex– This flex works best for most skiers. Enjoy stability in front of, and behind the binding area to providesolid edge hold. Then, we transition to smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorball the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you. This flex allows for an easierturn initiation and finish.

Sidecut

Elliptical Sidecut– Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski.The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tailresult in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mountingpositions.

Shape

Freeride Flat Tail– Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns.Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn intoa slarve and won’t hook up in fresh conditions.

Tip Height– 73mm

Tail Height– 27mm

Core

Lightweight Karuba Core– Karuba is an extremely lightweight woodcore with good strength properties. Despite being little-known,Karuba provides excellent flex and vibration absorption capabilities without adding weight, making it anideal woodcore for a touring ski that performs just as well on the uphill as on the downhill.

Laminates

Full Carbon Weave– Between 8 and 12 strips of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding weight to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski.

Titanal Binding Plate– Adds pullout strength with minimal weight gain.

Sidewalls

Microcap Full Strength Sidewall– Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight,durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold andtorsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile jointthat can be prone to chipping.

Edges

XL 2.5mm Edges– Fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The2.5mm edges add an extra 25% of height to Faction’s standard 2mm edge, making for a stronger and more durable ski.

Terrain: Big Mountain, Powder, Alpine Touring Big MountainBig mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. PowderThese skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow. Alpine TouringAlso known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced Intermediate-AdvancedWhether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius: Long Long> 22 m radius is best for powder and big-mountain.

Core/Laminates: Carbon, Wood

Tail Type: Flat FlatThis is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
