It just says Carbon fibre weave in the binding mount area which could be an additional sheet for binding retention or to replace the titanal plate above the edges for lighter reinforcement than this years. If someone looked at the 2022 model to see if the titanal plate is still there, you’d see if that was switched. Doubtful the flex was changed although it might be lighter if they took the plate out.
Sent a message to Faction asking what they changed on 2022 and post when/if I hear.

Posted in the 2022 gear thread but reposting here too.
Heard back from Faction and my guess was correct with the titanal plate above the edges in the binding area is being replaced with a carbon weave sheet. Should lower the weight SLIGHTLY and make it a hair more lively/less damp underfoot with no loss in durability according to Faction.

Posted on another forum and repeating it here.
It has been announced that Faction is once again moving it’s production facility for the 2022 model year from Fisher to Amer Sports. While it is another very good manufacturing plant, the builds on the Faction Candide line are changing for 2022 and dropping weight significantly.
The 2022 CT 1.0 goes to 120/88/112mm vs the 122/92/120mm of the 2021 but the big change is the weight is dropping to 1750gr in the 178cm vs 2150gr in the 2021 version.
The 2022 CT 2.0 has the same dimensions as the 2021 version but again drops 400grams in weight on the 183cm version. The 2022 CT 3.0 again with the same dimensions but dropping 200gr so it will be similar to 2020 levels.
So, it looks like a return to the lighter, more playful versions of the Candide line for 2022. So jump on the Spring deals of 2021 versions if you wanted some playful skis that can still charge.
