Women's Faction Agent 1X (2024) skis

Ultra-lightweight, high-performance women's touring ski for optimal ascent and descent

The Agent 1X 2024 is a women's touring ski from Faction. It features an ultra-light Karuba core for optimum climbing and descending performance, carbon strips for added stability and rigidity, sandwich construction for improved terrain adaptation, titanium reinforcement plates for enhanced durability, and Surf Zones technology for improved lift and ease of pivoting. At 86 mm at the skate, the Agent 1X is ideal for fresh snow and spring couloirs.

Features :

• Reasonable weight and ultra-light Karuba core for optimum climbing and descending performance.
• Sandwich construction and titanium reinforcements for enhanced durability and terrain adaptation.
• 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.
• The elliptical spoke 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.
• Pair weight: 2.58 kg
• Don't forget the SKI-N-GO clip for easy transport of your skis and poles! You'll find the different colors available on the SKI-N-GO brand page on Alpinstore.
