Candide Thovex skis are dynamic high performance machines for skiers who want the best, just like the legend itself! The Faction Collective worked tirelessly to select the best mix of reliable materials with modern shapes and camber lines to create the best tools for the different freeski sensibilities. We find this shape adapted on the ultra popular and very light version CT 3.0 which draws its inspiration from the freestyle backcountry. : we give them the opportunity to ride the same skis as him.

The CT 3.0 has become a cult model. It’s because Candide designed it to get the best freestyle inspired ski that can work as a quiver on its own. In collaboration with our designers, we can say that he succeeded! The CT 3.0 player shape will allow you to put butters easily and to slid well in jib, but you can count on a powerful edge grip if you press. If you are always on the lookout for powder and are looking for a lightweight and versatile ski to rip everything on any terrain, the CT 3.0 will be your ideal daily companion.

Sportmania opinion

The Candide 3.0 is a little less popular than its little brother the 2.0 with the general public, because despite its relatively versatile character, the Candide 3.0 is a very powdery backcountry ski. Surprisingly light on the foot, the Candide 3.0 pivots on its own and is forgotten regardless of the terrain, offering great ease and a lot of bounce in the heel. It is obviously not on the track that it expresses itself best, but its long radius will allow you to quickly reach the virgin slopes and to make the transition with power and maneuverability.

The Candide 3.0 with its medium flex is aimed at a large number of freeride or freestyle skiers, whatever their style, with great simplicity and absolute confidence in good snow conditions.

CT specific shape: Between Candide and the first CT 5.0, it was love at first sight. After two seasons of loyal service, the shape of the CT 5.0 has been changed to perfection: a mix of new ideas and the original concept. We now find the iconic silhouette of this multi-award-winning model across the CT range. Its slightly tapered tip and heel are combined with dimension lines with an elliptical radius, for maximum control and efficient and precise carving behavior. A generous rocker combined with a light camber brings wonderful sensations and gives new energy to transform your day. We designed the new CT range by adapting the shape to different practices, from big powder with 5.0, to groomed slopes with 1.0. We have thus established the new benchmark for this increasingly popular category of high performance all-mountain skis with a freestyle trend.
