Graphene is a 2D material that even when an atom thick is one of the strongest and lightest materials on earth. Used zonally in a board it magnifies a board’s positive characteristics. GRAPHENE is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind. GRAPHENE is also the strongest material on the planet, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all in the thickness of one atom.
Is the world cup sandwich construction with a Cap that wraps over the top edge of the sidewall to make the ski more suitable for all mountain skiing.
The same high quality material used in HEAD’s world-leading race skis is used here. Different structured running base for all conditions.
Notched tail makes skin attachment a cinch.
Tip-Tail Rocker is a ski profile technology developed by HEAD that combines rocker (upward curve) in the tip and tail with traditional camber (downward curve) under the bindings. HEAD uses this construction mainly in all-mountain, freeride, and freestyle skis to improve control, maneuverability, and versatility in varying snow conditions.
The lightweight Karuba wood core reduces ski weight, maintains a lively flex, and ensures efficient power transmission.
The hydrophobic top coating reduces snow build-up on the upper surface of the ski, helping to keep weight low during the ascent.
