2026 Faction Agent 2
The Faction Agent 2 is a lightweight all mountain touring ski built for skiers who want dependable versatility in the backcountry. Its balanced waist width and touring focused construction allow it to perform across a wide range of snow conditions while remaining efficient on long climbs. The design emphasizes adaptability, giving skiers the confidence to explore powder stashes, alpine lines, and remote terrain without carrying unnecessary weight.
Why we like it:
We like the Agent 2 because it feels efficient on the uphill while still delivering a fun and capable ride on the descent. It offers a well rounded balance that makes it easy to trust in unfamiliar terrain or changing snow conditions. For many backcountry skiers it hits the sweet spot between weight savings and downhill performance.
Who it's for:
The Agent 2 is built for skiers who want a versatile touring tool. It suits riders who value a lightweight setup for long days in the mountains but still want a ski that feels lively and predictable when it's time to point it downhill.
Highlights:
The lightweight Karuba wood core keeps the ski efficient for long approaches while providing natural rebound and vibration absorption during descents. A full carbon weave reinforces the structure and increases torsional stiffness, helping the ski maintain edge control when conditions firm up. The sidecut combines longer and shorter radii to create a ski that pivots easily in tight terrain yet remains comfortable making longer, faster turns when terrain allows, while the rocker profile improves flotation in soft snow for added control. XL 2.5 millimeter edges add durability and help the ski withstand the impacts that often come with backcountry terrain.
Things to consider:
Because the Agent focuses on lightweight touring efficiency, it may not feel as planted as heavier resort skis when charging aggressively at very high speeds. Skiers who prioritize lift served freeride performance will want to look elsewhere.
Fit & sizing considerations:
The Agent 2 skis true to size.
