Faction Candide 5.0 vs Faction Prime 4.0

How they compare

Both skis are designed for freeride and powder riding. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Faction Candide 5.0 has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Faction Prime 4.0 uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile).
