Oblivion 116 Black/Red 2024
Product not eligible for returnThe Oblivion 116 is a men's freestyle ski from Head. Derived from the Caddy, the Oblivion range follows the same guidelines but with more muscle.
The Oblivions 116 is a stable, playful ski that's ideal for powder descents and freestyle riding. You'll have a blast on any terrain with them.
In order to cushion your landing (it happens, it doesn't matter), the Oblivion is built with the ISS shock absorber system, straight from outer space. Elastomer inserts are present in the tip, the waist and the tail to smooth out imperfections in the snow and to limit vibrations due to shocks.
As it is intended for intense use in the park, freeride or on rails, the Oblivion 116 is reinforced with Tuff Wall/base/Edge technology which strengthens the edges and thickens the edges and the base. This makes it virtually indestructible.
The PNP Rocker profile with 70% camber and 30% rocker makes it easier to perform tricks.
In short, the Oblivion 116 is a high performance freestyle ski, equally at home in the park or away from the packed snow, perfect for the best riders among you.

- Rocker TNT: tip and tail rocker with classic camber at the waist for ideal flotation in powder and staying comfortable on packed snow. 40% rocker and 60% camber.
Construction:
- Double tip sandwich construction: Head combine a vertically laminated wood core for durability with their super Independent Suspension System to minimise shock. To shine in half-pipe, the park or high mountains.
- Carbon core and PET construction: The carbon sandwich cape construction with its wood and PET core and eco-friendly design takes sustainability into account while guaranteeing great glide. The hybrid poplar wood and PET core makes for a stable, robust and lightweight ski that doesn't compromise on performance. The use of poplar, recycled PET plastic and carbon offers optimum performance, while at the same time being environmentally friendly and lightweight.
Technologies:
- ISS - Independent Suspension System: elastomer vibration dampers located in the tip, tail and under the waist. Elastomers minimise the vibrations common with rocker skis. Under the waist, vibrations are reduced for a smoother glide.
- Tuff edge/base: impact resistant ABS edge. Designed to take a beating without losing its responsiveness. The thickened edges and soles make these models indestructible.
- UHM C base: extremely durable base material for great performance. Rudimentary but reliable and stable. The kind of base that lasts for years.
