Discover the Agent 1, an ultra-light touring ski from Faction. High-performance on both ascents and descents, it offers stability, durability and easy pivoting.

Ultra-light, high-performance men's touring ski for optimal ascent and descent

The Agent 1 is a touring ski Faction. It features an ultra-light Karuba core for optimal uphill and downhill performance, and carbon strips for added stability and rigidity. Its sandwich construction improves ground contact and terrain adaptation, while titanium reinforcement plates ensure secure attachment and increased core durability.

It's also equipped with Surf Zones technology for improved load-bearing capacity and ease of pivoting. Its tapered tips ensure gliding without untimely snags. With 86 mm at the base, standard camber and rockers in the tip and tail, the Agent 1 is ideal for exploring your favorite spots in search of fresh snow and springtime couloirs.

Features:

• High-performance on ascents and descents thanks to its ultra-light Karuba core and carbon strips for added stability.
• Sandwich construction for better ground contact and titanium reinforcement plates for increased durability.
• Surf Zones technology for improved load-bearing capacity and ease of pivoting, ideal for fresh snow and spring couloirs.

Technical specifications:

• Karuba core: an exceptionally light and extremely strong type of wood. Although little-known, it offers excellent flex and the ability to absorb vibrations without increasing weight. This makes it an ideal choice for a touring ski core, ensuring exceptional performance on both ascents and descents.
• Elliptical radius sidecut features a longer radius under the foot and shorter radii on the front and rear of the ski. The longer radius makes pivoting quicker and easier, while the shorter radii allow for smoother cornering.
• XL 2.5mm edges: 35% thicker than standard 1.8mm edges, which are already very tough. This added steel gives riders a ski that will withstand the "aggression" of certain sports longer.
• Surf zones: this technology has been designed to combine rocker and tapered tip shape, ensuring that these two key parameters work in perfect harmony. It provides excellent lift and a smooth feel, whatever the conditions.
• CAP construction in tip and tail: ultra-strong sidewalls in the central part of the ski and a coated topsheet, which protects the ski from impact and improves its durability, while reducing the ski's overall weight, making it ideal for freestyle and touring.
• Double titanal layer : its isotropic characteristics mean that the ski loves to be on edge, rips through bumps and remains stable even in variable snow conditions.
• Carbon bands: a total of 8 to 12 carbon bands are carefully arranged on either side of the core in a unidirectional manner, providing added stability without weighing the ski down. Each of these carbon strips is woven with great precision to guarantee optimum strength and rigidity in all directions.
