Every spy needs their the perfect gadget to get them out of a hairy situation, just like every skier needs a ski to get them out of, well everything. Returning for 2022 unchanged, the Agent 2.0 might not have come from Q, but have you seen James Bond rip a spring couloir, or blast a backcountry booter on a powder day? We didn't think so. At 96mm underfoot and sporting a lightweight Karuba wood core reinforced with a full carbon weave the Agent 2.0 is built to do it all, and despite its low weight penalty, this ski is purpose built for the downhill, sharing the same mold as the Dictator series - Faction's directional downhill line - and paired with thicker topsheets, edges, and bases. For anyone who wants the performance of a downhill ski in an uphill weight package, look no further than the Agent 2.0. With a versatile all-mountain shape and directional preference, this ski would pair perfectly with a crossover binding like a Salomon Shift to make for a one-ski quiver for someone who don't want to switch setups between in-bounds and out-of-bounds days.
