Faction 2.0 durability?

[Gjermund]

I did buy some K2 shredtior 112 for this season. I was gonna use them for everything, park and pow. But for me, I think they are shitty in deep pow (sorry k2). Maybe its because I have the bindings center mounted, idk. I use wider skis now. Anyways, now Im looking for a smaller ski who is able to handle the spring conditions well and I can use it as a true park ski.

Will Candide 2.0 be a good option? Anyone know about the durability on the skis, do they brake easily? Edges, core and stuff. And maybe they even can handle som fresh little pow?

Mine have been super hardy, haven't abused them much on rails though. Bases, sidewalls etc. seem very tough. The core isn't the same as the lightweight core used in the 3.0 and 4.0 so will take a lot of abuse. They can handle a little pow (I have mine mounted on the 'candide boot centre') but they are quite stiff, so more of a charger than a floaty fun pow ski.

I have skied a bit of everything with mine and they seem fucking bomb proof build quality is insane!

Whats the flex on them out of curiosity for someone who has already ridden them? Maybe give a comparison to another ski you have ridden before

it's actually pretty stiff, but I can't really compare them to anything.. maybe Armada Alpha X but stiffer... haha

My 2.0's have been so solid all season. Everything from some pow, groomers, crud, and rails...the bases, edges, and the topsheet have all held up impressively well. In my opinion they're extremely light with a flex somewhere in between an E-Dollo and an ARV, which is seriously perfect. Best ski I've ever ridden hands down.
