Faction Candide 3.0 vs Faction Candide 5.0

How they compare

Both target freeride terrain, while the Faction Candide 3.0 leans more all mountain, while the Faction Candide 5.0 leans more powder. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Faction Candide 3.0 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 5.0 uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel).
