The 2027 Faction Prodigy 3 Capsule with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings dresses Faction's all-mountain freeride twin tip in a limited-edition Elsa Grace graphic. The ski underneath is the standard Prodigy 3, built for skiers who want one tool for everything, from chop to powder. We paired the Prodigy 3 Capsule 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 appeal here is broad and the Prodigy 3 suits a large swath of skiers looking for fun in deeper snow. The Capsule art suits this ski especially well.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert creative all-mountain skiers who are looking for a wider all mountain ski with a progressive freeride flair.

Highlights:

Underneath the Elsa Grace artwork, the build is the standard Prodigy 3 through and through. A light poplar wood core keeps weight in check and lays down a balanced flex that holds together at speed without going lifeless. Shape stays a directional twin with tapered tip and tail that feels intuitive across a wide spread of turn shapes and speeds, and Faction's XL edges supply the durability a true all-mountain ski earns on rocky runs and icy traverses. A 106 mm waist is the smart freeride width, floating in a few inches of fresh yet capable of carving once the snow firms up, backed by a generous tip rocker, moderate tail rocker, and camber underfoot. 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:

While the build remains identical to the Prodigy 3, this version tops out shorter than the standard Prodigy 3's longest length, so anyone after the very longest size will need to look at the standard version.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Length runs true on this one, so most skiers can go for their usual all mountain size; size up for added stability in soft snow or down for more agility in tight terrain.
