2027 Faction Prodigy 2 Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings

The 2027 Faction Prodigy 2 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the all-mountain freestyle workhorse of the line and one of Faction's best sellers for good reason. Its waist lands at a versatile width, broad enough to take on softer snow with confidence yet trim enough to carve cleanly on firm groomers. The shape is a directional twin with a freestyle-friendly tail that lets you ride switch whenever the mood hits. We paired the Prodigy 2 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

The carbon and rubber stomp pad underfoot is the unsung hero. It does two jobs well, taming vibration when you stomp landings off booters or natural features and adding just enough stiffness at the binding zone to make hard charging feel composed rather than twitchy. Most all-mountain freestyle skis force a choice between playful and precise; this one quietly delivers both.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to advanced freestyle-leaning skiers who want a single ski to lap the park, hit side hits, butter, and still grip the morning groomers. If you are the type who ducks ropes, sends side features, and loves a directional twin underfoot, this is about as close to a perfect daily driver as it gets.

Highlights:

The poplar core is the heart of this ski, light and energetic yet damp enough to keep the chatter down at speed, and Faction's flex tuning leaves it poppy and forgiving without going noodly. Bonded under the binding mount, the carbon and rubber stomp pad puts damping exactly where you need it and shields the core from the heavy compressions of big landings. The directional twin shape is the sleeper feature, with a tip a touch wider than the tail for more forward drive than a true twin yet a tail still lifted enough to land switch and ride away clean. Faction's XL edges go a long way toward making the ski last more than a season once rails and boxes get involved, and a 98 mm waist hits the do-everything sweet spot, wide enough for a few inches of fresh but still happy to be thrown sideways. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

The flex runs firm, plenty for advanced freestyle but possibly more than some intermediates are after. And because the tail is directional rather than truly symmetrical, dedicated park skiers who live switch will likely lean toward the Studio 1 or Prodigy 1.

Fit & sizing considerations:

It sizes true to length, so take your usual length; if you ski more switch than forward, size down for a quicker, more centered feel.
