New 2023 Faction Agent 1.0, Size: 170 cm

Faction's Agent ski are their ski touring models. Rather like Black Crows' Freebird series, but even more so, the Agents are not the lightest models in their category but offer excellent downhill performance and will appeal to tourers whose emphasis is on the descent. The Agent 1.0 is their narrowest touring model, with a versatile 120-86-110 mm shape. Built with moderate tip and tail rocker and a relatively stiff flex for a touring ski, the Agent is durable and stable. The rockered tip aids turn initiation and gives float in soft snow while the stiffer turn supports a strong exit from the turn on hard snow. The Agent 1.0 is designed for tourers seeking alpine levels of performance in the backcountry and the ultimate strength to light-weight ratio. The Agent 1.0 has a progressive shape, lightweight Karuba Wood Core and a Full Carbon Weave to make the uphill a breeze and the downhill, well, everything you dreamed of. Adept in any conditions, the Faction Skis Agent 1.0 is your go-to tool for exploring the margins, Off The Beaten Track Designed & tested at Faction's home in Verbier, Switzerland, handmade in Austria at the finest manufacturing facilities in the world. Built to last.
