Overview
The Prodigy 1.0X is a park-orientated model that makes progression simple. This poplar-cored, freestyle twin, has buckets of pop and flex while maintaining real performance on the downhill. Generous rocker at the nose and tail make handling intuitive whatever the snow and aid butters. The directional shape ensures that you have more control throughout your turn and can blend those carves into butters easily. A bombproof set of sticks that lay the tracks for modern-day, do-it-all park skis.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Loads of time in the park and searching out natural hits on the mountain and side of the piste. Itll handle powder days too as well as a few runs down the groomers chasing piste skiers.Skier TypeSkiers looking to progress on a ski that will butter as well as it pops. It wont suit the heaviest skiers but its no lightweight either.OverviewShapeThe Prodigy 1.0X is a directional twin, with a wider nose than tail, making it feel super-stable and boosting control. 90mm underfoot is perfect for the park, feeling quick from edge-to-edge yet still wide enough for float in softer snow. The 12m (164cm) radius boosts the stability on landings and in rougher snow, as well as remaining easy to turn. The set-back contact points create long tips and tails, improving the handling in softer snow and making butters smoother.RockerTip and Tail Rocker uses traditional camber underfoot for response and good edge grip, with rocker at the tip and tail to improve manoeuvrability by aiding turn initiation and completion. CoreA poplar core is a great balance of lightness with durability and good pop, perfect features for an all mountain freestyle ski. It makes the Prodigy 1.0 slightly softer than the CT 1.0, adding to the ease of use.ConstructionFull Strength Sidewalls run the length of the ski and optimise the precision and edge hold. On top of this is an Anti-Chip Micro-Cap that rounds off the topsheet where it meets the sidewall, increasing durability and better resisting the little dings and bangs. Key FeaturesSurf ZonesSurf Zones ensure smooth, playful transitions, blending the softer tip and tail flex with the firmer flex underfoot.XL 2.5mm edgesThicker edges mean increased durability and impact resistance, crucial for a ski that is built to test the rule book. eB testers comments: Mark (Trainer) It's a bit of a one quiver ski for someone who really likes a twin tip. They are fun to mess around on, but surprisingly capable on hard pack and fun off to the side in variable conditions.Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)152120901121015501581209011211158016412090112121640No luxe image General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate/AdvancedTerrain Type: Freestyle Rocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: ShortBase: SinteredBindings: n/aDIN: n/aConstruction: Mini Cap Full SidewallCore: Wood Demo: NoSizing Description: eye level for the maximum ease of spinning and rail tricks, but you need to go bigger for extra stability or speed and for all mountain versatility, especially important on the wider models that are designed to spend more time away from the park.
