Lightweight Karuba Core
Karuba is an extremely lightweight wood core with excellent strength properties. Provides beautiful flex and vibration absorption, making it an ideal wood core for a touring ski that performs just as well on the uphill as on the downhill.
Full Carbon Weave
Between 8-12 carbon strips sandwiched on either side of the woodcore enhance ski stability without extra bulk. Woven into fiberglass for full-length strength and stiffness.
Recycled Materials
We are working with our production partners to eliminate material waste. We now mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring the same level of quality & durability.
Locally Sourced Materials
In an effort to reduce the impact of our supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based near our factories.
1% For The Planet
We donate 1% of all sales to approved environmental non-profits. 1% for the Planet’s mission is to build, support and activate an alliance of businesses that are financially committed to mitigating human-driven climate change.
Sustainable Wood Cores
Our poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near our European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances.
100% Renewable Energy Factory
This ski is produced in a cutting-edge facility that runs on electrical power that is 100% renewable. The factory no longer uses oil, resulting in annual CO2 emissions reductions of a whopping 10 million kilograms.
XL 2.5mm Edges
The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 25% of height on top of our already super-durable standard 2.0mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
Full Strength Sidewall
A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the woodcore and edges.
Elliptical Sidecut
Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, the shorter radius result in easier turn initiation.
Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
Micro-cap is a hybrid of premium sandwich sidewall fused with durable lightweight cap construction. Provides strong edge hold, torsional stability, and protects joint prone to chipping.
Mustache Flex
Enjoy stability in front of, and behind the binding area to provide solid edge hold. Then, we transition to smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps. This flex allows for progression and for an easier turn initiation and finish.
High Resistance Topsheet
We use the highest quality topsheet material available, and we test it rigorously to ensure it stands up to regular abuse. Sourced near our factories in Europe for a friendlier supply chain

description
The Faction Agent 2X ski is the one-stop solution for touring skiers. The lightweight karuba wood core is backed by a carbon weave and the versatile 96 mm waist width combined with tip and tail rocker make the ski light on the ascent and thrilling on the descent.Whether you’re after the treats of a powder-laden field or rush of a steep couloir, every hard-earned turn will feel that much better with the Agent 2X under your feet. The Agent 2X features the same construction as the Agent 1, with an alternate topsheet to celebrate women in skiing.
You'll love this ski if:
- You want a modern tip that will help you rise above the snow and easily initiate the turn
- You think light weight is important, but downhill performance and durability are better
- You prefer a modern shape with a stiffer tail that supports a strong finish to the turn
- You need a free-touring ski to reliably handle variable snow and variable terrain
