Faction Prodigy 1 Matej 2026 Skis

Matěj Švancer pro model by Faction

Step into the world of the mind-melting freeskiing aficionado Matěj Švancer. His talent is truly exceptional and this version of the Prodigy 1 is a clear reflection of his unmistakable style.

The Prodigy 1 sports the same shape as the Prodigy 2, but is 10 mm narrower, for precise handling in the park and on-piste. The poplar core is bolstered by ash wood, yielding serious strength to withstand heavy hits and the anti-chip micro-cap construction protects against chipping in tip and tail. A brilliant ski for every park shredder.

Riding style
An all-mountain freestyle / park ski for advanced shredders. This ski offers all the features you need as an ambitious park rider. However, the Directional Twin shape makes this ski very versatile, perfect for freestyle riding all over the mountain.

Shape
This ski features a directional twin shape. The nose is a few millimetres wider than the tail, with a central binding position. Therefore, the ski offers you the same riding characteristics forward and switch. However, thanks to the slightly wider nose, you get more float in soft snow.

Profile
This Ski comes with a classic camber under the binding and an even rocker in nose and tail. Precision and pop for park and pipe, good float in soft snow. The rocker in the nose and tail also creates a catch-free, loose ride. ​

Flex
The medium-stiff flex ensures precise control and responsiveness at high speeds.

Construction
The poplar / ash core offers a vibration-free ride on firm snow. A solid base for massive landings and more than enough pop and flex to get creative. The micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a high-quality sandwich construction and a robust cap construction. This protects sensitive areas of the ski that may be prone to chipping. The carbon / rubber stomp pad is a reinforcement made of carbon and rubber underfoot, above the edge. It protects the wood core from heavy impacts and absorbs vibrations.
