Product not eligible for returnThe V-Shape E-V8 Sw 2026 are the perfect alpine skis for the pistes from Head. Refined and piste-oriented version of the V-Shape V10, these are the highest performing skis in the V-Shape range.
With its 75mm waist and its high-end construction, the V-Shape V8 performs very well on hard snow, and is perfectly grippy and dynamic. Get ready to power through turns!
In this range, there is a ski for every skier. This ski Shape E-V8 Swis designed for experienced skiers, with a new construction Carbon sandwich cap Construction that incorporates an ultra-light wooden core, Karubaa layer of graphene and carbon reinforcements for a ski that is extremely responsive, agile and high-performing, while remaining very light in weight.
Developed for performance, the V-Shape Shape E-V8 is not too demanding. Thanks to its lightness and the ERA 3.0 technology, which combines an tip rocker with a short curve radius to facilitate pivot, these skis remain rather accessible and will delight experienced skiers who want to engage in their turns!
To top it all off, you'll find the innovative EMC (Energy Management Circuit) (technology; this energy management system dampens vibrations while maintaining the stability and flexibility of the ski.
The Shape E-V8 is designed for experienced skiers looking for lightness and performance!
This ski is fitted with a binding. PR 11 Gw.
The binding PR 11 Gw is a binding that pushes the limits of your performance. It provides excellent safety in the event of a fall with its release mechanism Full Diagonnal and technology Power Rail. It is available with pre-mounted PR base skis.

| ALLRIDE ROCKER 80/20 | Offers superior control and better load-bearing. Each model is given a very specific amount of rocker to ensure maximum performance, whatever the skier's level. Control is easier for all skiers and flexibility on soft snow is increased. |
| GREPHÈNE | Graphène is the thinnest and lightest material ever discovered by mankind. Graphène is also the strongest material on the planet, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all within the thickness of an atom. |
| CARBON SANDWICH CAP CONSTRUCTION | The basic construction invented by Howard Head in the 1940s, has been perfected and handcrafted by the best ski technicians in the modern world. The vertically stratified Karuba wooden core is combined with the thinnest carbon. This means that the skis are around 20% lighter than normal, yet they still remain sturdy, greatly improving their performance. |
| SEMELLE STRUCTURED UHM C BASE | Elastomeric vibration dampers located in the tip, heel and under the footbed. Elastomers minimise the vibrations common with rocker skis. Under the waist, vibrations are reduced for a smoother glide. |
| LYT TECH CONSTRUCTION | - Lyt Tech Construction : by developing a core that combines light weight karuba wood and graphene, Head has been able to both lighten the skis and improve their performance. A single weight distribution thickens the tip and the heel and makes the waist thinner. Easy control for a better ride and more stability. |
| ERA 3.0 | The rocker alone does not improve the ski, it is only one component of the ERA 3.0. After years of testing, the brand has discovered that the benefits of the ski Rocker can only be fully utilised when combined with a new type of radius and improved rebound. |
| EMC | The EMC HEAD (Energy Management Circuit) incorporates piezoelectric ceramic plates at the front and rear of the ski. The kinetic energy is converted into electronic energy which is then used to absorb vibrations that may bother you. This allows the ski to flow more smoothly and so you can ski at your best all day long. |
Binding PR 11 Gw :

| GRIPWALK | Compatible with adult ski boots that meet Alpine standards (ISO 5355 type A) and GripWalk standards (ISO 23223 type A). No adjustment required. |
| AFS - ANTI FRICTION SLIDER | The anti-friction TYROLIA plate ensures safe trigger operation and quick, accurate re-centring of the boot. For greater security and confidence. |
| FULL DIAGONAL TOE | The function Full Diagonal Release TYROLIA offers intelligent triggering at 180° both horizontally and vertically. |
