Faction 3.Zero vs Faction Candide 4.0

How they compare

Both target freeride and powder terrain, while the Faction 3.Zero leans more all mountain. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Faction 3.Zero has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Faction Candide 4.0 uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). At $299.95 vs $415.9 MSRP, the Faction Candide 4.0 is the more budget-friendly option.
