The HEAD Supershape e-Speed turns good skiers into even better skiers! With a combination of innovations and high-end technologies, the current ski season sets new standards in terms of precision, stability and comfort. The origin of this model lies in racing. This is also underlined by the partnership with Streif legend Didier Cuche. We asked him what makes this ski so special.
Yes, as a former top athlete, I still strive for a certain level of perfection with every turn, although I certainly ski with more enjoyment. Skating smoothly and making beautiful turns will always be a part of me.
I spent the last and most successful years of my career with HEAD as a partner. Everything was just right. So the step of continuing to work with HEAD after my career was relatively easy. I am a testimonial, tester and consultant in product development. I am also involved as an ambassador for the promotion of young ski talents in the Young Rebels Team. In addition, I am an ambassador and testimonial for HEAD Sportswear.
I basically ski on the Supershape e-Rally model most of the time every winter, but I have also skied on the e-Speed from time to time. It is a bit narrower under the binding and therefore easier to handle. An extremely good ski that always offers full control, regardless of the snow conditions!
Stability has been a priority for Head in racing for many years. They are now trying to incorporate this more and more into serial ski production. With EMC, you have an even more stable system for skis. This helps, for example, in fast corners when you need a little more grip.
This binding is really a good thing because it helps prevent knee injuries. The lateral release at the back of the binding prevents twisting of the knee. A great development that works perfectly and makes skiing safer!
Didier Cuche also supports charitable projects. The father of two and president of the Swiss regional association Giron Jurassien promotes young skiers from school to competitive sports. In addition, through the PassionSchneesport foundation, he supports children from financially disadvantaged families so that they can pursue their passion for skiing.
The technology in the Supershape e-Speed
Head has combined the Supershape series' high level of sportiness with easy control. The various models enable every skier to live out their individual skiing style on the slopes. The basis for this are technical innovations such as...
Better Balance PR-Base
This technology ensures that the forward tilt always remains constant, regardless of the size of the ski boot. This guarantees a consistent skiing experience, easier turn initiation and greater stability, especially at high speeds.
Crossforce carbon construction
This strengthens the direct contact between the binding plate system and the ski. The result: significantly improved edge grip and increased responsiveness.
Energy Management Circuit (EMC)
Piezoceramic plates convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. This energy is conducted through a resistor and negative vibrations are filtered out of the ski. Fewer vibrations mean more stability and better edge grip on the slopes.
High performance and easy handling
Thanks to its new design, the Supershape e-Speed offers World Cup performance for every skier. With its narrow waist and specially designed tip, it enables quick edge changes and effortless handling. HEAD Supershape impresses with modern technology and outstanding handling – for anyone who wants to experience the perfect turn.
