Quick Overview
The Faction Candide 1.0 is your go to freestyle jib ski. This ski is tough built so it can handle everything from urban handrails to the biggest jumps in your park. By the use of XL 2.5mm edges, the Carbon Stomp Pads and the Anti-chip Micro-cap construction these skis are not afraid to take some hits. These true symetrical skis feel very lively thanks to the Poplar/Beech sandwich wood core. Very fun ski, great to carve the pistes and jib everything you see.
