Ski pack Faction Agent 3 (2024) + binding - men

Discover Faction Agent 3, an ultra-versatile ski with karuba wood core, balanced flex and rocker designed for off-piste freeride adventures.

Ultra-Versatile Free-Routing Ski for Off-Track Freerider Adventures

The Faction Agent 3 is a versatile ski featuring a lightweight karuba wood core, progressive shape, carbon weave, balanced flex and engineered rocker. Its 106 mm waist width enhances climbing ease and downhill performance.

Features:

• Lightweight, progressive design with a karuba wood core and high-tech carbon frame.
• Balanced flex and perfectly designed rocker for ease of ascent and exceptional downhill performance.
• Ultra-versatile, ideal for freeride skiers looking to get off the beaten track.

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 in all 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.
• Pair weight: 3.5 kg

Robust Touring Binding with Wide Frame for Powerful Skiers

The F12 TOUR EPF from Marker is a solid touring binding with high DIN adjustment and the advantages of a wider EPF frame. It allows you to control the widest touring skis on any terrain, thanks to improved power transmission.

It's ideal for powerful touring skiers looking for safety. Features include Backcountry technology, stainless steel AFD, Triple Pivot Light stop and Hollow Linkage heel retainer for optimum support.

Benefits :

• Robustness and high DIN adjustment for optimum control on all terrains, even with the widest touring skis.
• Backcountry technology for rapid transition from ascent to descent, and improved balance thanks to the 40 mm rearward shift of the binding in BC mode.
• Triple Pivot Light stop and Hollow Linkage heel retainer for precise release, optimum hold and maximized torsional stiffness, without superfluous weight.

Technical specifications :

• DIN: 4-12
• Recommended skier weight: < 120 kg
• Brake width: 110mm
• Base length S: 265-325mm
• EPF - Extended Power frame: incredible power transfer in all situations.
• Climbing wedges integrated into the bindings allow you to alternate quickly between ascending and descending. The climbing wedge can be set to 7° or 13°. A 40 mm backward shift of the binding in BC mode ensures better balance and easier conversions.
• AFD stainless steel: all Marker bindings feature a movable AFD (Anti Friction Device) and guarantee the highest precision release, virtually unaffected by dirt, snow or ice.
• Triple Pivot Light: particularly compact, with a horizontally mounted spring. The combination of anti-friction plate and anti-friction elements integrated into the sole supports ensures particularly precise release behavior.
• Hollow Linkage heel retainer: this heel retainer is designed to guarantee optimum support for all types of sole, whether hiking or alpine.
• Pair weight: 2.36 kg
