The Faction Agent 2 is built for skiers who crave freedom — freedom from lift lines, from tracked-out snow, and from the same-old daily laps. With a 96mm waist, lightweight touring construction, and downhill performance that punches far above its weight, the Agent 2 is the ski that opens the door to bigger days, longer missions, and untouched terrain. Whether you’re chasing mid-winter powder in remote bowls or slicing spring couloirs after a long approach, the Agent 2 offers the perfect balance of uphill efficiency and downhill power.
At its heart is a Karuba wood core, chosen for its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, lively flex, and terrain-smoothing vibration absorption. Paired with a full-length carbon weave, the Agent 2 remains feather-light on the skintrack while delivering dependable stability and composure at speed. Add tip and tail rocker for intuitive turn initiation and a forgiving ride in variable snow, and you get a ski that feels ready for any line you’ve dreamed up.
Handcrafted with recycled materials and backed by Faction’s commitment to responsible production, the Agent 2 delivers durability, sustainability, and trustworthy performance for seasons of big missions.
Karuba wood offers exceptional stability and rebound without unnecessary weight. Its natural vibration dampening makes uphill travel efficient and downhill skiing smooth, predictable, and strong. Ideal for long days in mixed conditions.
8–12 carbon strips run along the length of the ski, boosting torsional stiffness, stability, and power transmission. This high-tech reinforcement gives the Agent 2 a calm, confident ride — all while keeping the ski incredibly light for touring.
Faction’s signature flex pattern provides stronger flex in front of and behind the binding for secure edge hold, with a smoother, more progressive flex in the tips and tails. This absorbs bumps, improves maneuverability, and ensures turn initiation is intuitive even in challenging snow.
A timeless flat-tail design built for power, edge grip, and confidence at speed — modernized with a subtle tail rocker that encourages playful slashes, smooth slarves, and predictable release in soft conditions. The result is reliable control when charging, without any unwanted hookiness in deeper snow or tight terrain.
A multi-radius design that blends long underfoot radii for stability and easy pivoting with shorter radii in the tip and tail for crisp, effortless turn entry. This sidecut increases versatility across terrain, snowpack, and skiing styles.
Reinforced, extra-thick edges offer 25% more durability than the industry standard, extending ski lifespan and improving reliability on hardpack, rocky entrances, or sketchy early-season coverage.
Reinforced sidewalls protect the core, improve edge grip, and add torsional strength. Built to endure heavy use, season after season, without compromising performance.
A protective micro-cap at the tip and tail reduces topsheet chipping, improving longevity and maintaining a clean aesthetic even after repeated tours and tight tree skiing.
