Details

The Head i.Supershape Titan Skis + PRX 12 Bindings has a well-deserved reputation for crushing groomers with a race-like vengeance, and it continues to do so as well as any ski in the industry. If your Walter Mitty finds himself visualizing Ted Ligety at the water cooler, this is the ski for you. Head packs a ton of power and edgehold into the Titan without making the ski too much of a handful or too hooky, and the package is finished off with a Titanal laminate and KERS to keep it damp AND lively as you power out of each turn.

ROCKER TYPE: Speed Rocker – A slight tip rise on a ski with standard camber means great performance and perfect, versatile performance on hardpack. 10% rocker in the tip and 90% camber is just what you need to keep the skis from feeling "hooky" while retaining solid edge bite during the turn.

Features
SHAPE: ERA 3.0 S – Head combines rocker, radius and rebound technologies to create the perfect balance of all mountain performance.

CORE:Vertically Laminated Wood Core

LAMINATES: WC Sandwich Cap Construction – A wood core sandwich with Titanal combines the solid and responsive performance of the vertically laminated core with the dampness and control of Titanal. The upper layer is wrapped by a cap construction for durability.

SIDEWALLS: Hybrid Sidewall / Cap Construction – Sidewalls over the edges with a cap over the top layer of the ski for increased resistance to edge impacts.

BASE: Race Structured UHM C Base

THE EXTRA BOOST

KERS Technology works like a turbo charger that provides additional power and acceleration by stiffening the tail of the ski in outturns.

The effect: a boost, catapulting the rider into the next turn. Just like when Formula 1 pilots push a button for that extra notch of speed.

HEAD KERS Technology is an electronic, fully automatic and integrated system.

HOW IT WORKS

Skis experience maximum flex at the end of a turn. At this moment an active microchip releases energy into the fibers of the tail. The tail of the ski then stiffens up, immediately increasing rebound for maximum acceleration at the end of the outturn.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

HEAD KERS Technology is an evolution of the idea behind HEAD’s Intelligence Technology. But unlike Intelligence, KERS does not influence the torsional stiffness of the ski, KERS empowers the skis’ longitudinal flex. Also KERS Technology is based on a completely new chip capable of accumulating power and keeping it in store for the right moment.

Piezoelectric fibers transform kinetic energy into electrical energy which is stored in the embedded chip in the ski. Electrical energy is immediately released to areas of the ski, where additional energy is requested by the sensor. Timing and release are automatically controlled and coordinated. Depending on the flex pattern of different ski models, sensors are programmed beforehand: the more aggressive the ski has to be, the stiffer the tail will become.

INTELLIGENCE™ TECHNOLOGY - electronic ski management system

HEAD’S THEORY OF RELATIVITY.

Ski performance is not an absolute measure. What you want out of a ski always depends on how and where you ride.

On hard-packed slopes you want perfect edge grip. On soft snow, you want more maneuverability. Breaking the slope record you want your ski to perform differently than when you’re just cruising with your friends or family.

Adaptive HEAD Intelligence Technology helps your ski perform perfectly - both relative to terrain and your individual riding mode.

Head KERS
The Extra Boost

HOW IT WORKS

Intellifibers positioned at 45° in front of the binding transform mechanical impulses into electrical energy. The harder you ride, the more energy is produced.

The electrical energy is led back to the Intellifibers. This causes them to stiffen up, putting more rebound and torsional stiffness into the ski.


WHAT IT DOES

Their 45° position in front of the binding increases
the ski’s torsional stiffness, pushing the edge
into the snow in hard turns.

Intelligence progressively stabilizes the entire
ski at high speeds.


INTELLIGENCE CHIP TECHNOLOGY - THE EXTRA BOOST

Some HEAD high-end skis boast Intelligence Chip Technology. Here, the electrical energy produced by the Intellifibers is not just recycled, but accumulated and released bit by bit through a pre-programmed chip – individually timed to match the oscillation properties of the ski.

Thus, the effect of Intelligence is multiplied, providing even more performance relative to your skiing sty
