Faction Agent 1X
By PTO Team, Based on official specs and professional review consensus · Spec analysis + professional review consensus on this ski ·
The take
“1,390 grams and it still skis like it means it.”
The Agent 1X is Faction's women's touring ski — the X in Faction's naming means women's-specific. At 86mm and 1,390g in the 170, it's built for earning your turns. Karuba wood core with carbon weave keeps it absurdly light without going floppy.
Faction's 'Moustache Flex' is the interesting part. Stiff in front of and behind the binding for edge hold, progressive and soft in the tips and tails for easy turn initiation. On the skin track, the directional shape and moderate rocker in the tip make kick-turns easier. On the way down, the camber underfoot gives you something to work with on firm snow.
86mm is the touring sweet spot — narrow enough for efficient skinning and solid edge hold on the bootpack, wide enough to handle a few inches of fresh on the descent. It's not a powder ski. Below treeline in anything over ankle-deep, you'll want something wider.
Three sizes only: 154, 162, 170. The limited range keeps it focused on the women's market. If you're a smaller skier who tours regularly, this is one of the lightest options that doesn't sacrifice downhill performance.
Bindings we'd pair with it
Mount point: Recommended touring mount. Our pick: Salomon Shift MNC 11.
- Salomon Shift MNC 11Touring + resort
Hybrid touring/alpine binding. Tech-compatible for skinning, alpine-mode downhill performance. Best of both worlds for the Agent 1X.
- Marker Kingpin 10Dedicated touring
Lighter than the Shift, true pin binding. Better for long approach days where every gram counts.
Marker Squire 11 IDResort / sidecountryIf you ski the Agent 1X mostly at the resort with occasional bootpacks, a standard alpine binding at DIN 11 works.
