Product descriptionThe Shape e-V8 from Head is a popular piste ski for various abilities wanting to work on their technique. It is a great option for natural progression. The tip has been altered to have a slightly smaller taper so that the skis don't 'grab' as much when initiating turn.Head say - The Shape e-V8 offers frontside enthusiasts a big sweet spot for carving up the groomers. A woodcore and carbon construction is enhanced with HEAD's EMC technology, which absorbs negative vibrations. HEAD's ERA 3.0 combines easy turn initiation from the rockered tip with full edge contact for hard snow performance. The agile 75-mm waist and LYT Tech materials result in less fatigue for a full day on the slopes.LYT Tech ConstructionEMC - The HEAD EMC (Energy Management Circuit) features ceramic piezo plates incorporated into the front and rear of the ski. Here, the kinetic energy is converted into electronic energy and in turn, the electronic energy is used to absorb negative vibrations. This means that the ski runs smoother and allows you to ski at a higher level all day long.ERA 3.0 - Era 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape, and geometry.Think rocker, think radius, think rebound. Think 3-dimensional!Graphene - GRAPHENE is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind.
