Description

The V-Shape E-V8 Sw are the perfect alpine skis for the pistes from Head. A refined, piste-oriented version of the V-Shape V10, this is one of the highest-performance 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. The Shape E-V8 Sw is designed for experienced skiers with its Carbon sandwich cap Construction which integrates an utralight Karuba wood core, a layer of Graphene and Carbone for an extremely repsonsive ski, that is agile and high performing while maintaining a very light weight.

Developed for performance, the 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!

The Shape E-V8 is designed for experienced skiers looking for lightness and performance!

This ski is mounted with the Protector PR 11 GW bindings from Head.

Shape:
- 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.

Construction:
-Carbon sandwich cap Construction: The base construction invented by Howard Head in the 1940s has been perfected and then hand-made by the best ski specialists in the world today. 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.
- 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.
- EMC: The EMC (Energy Management Circuit) by HEAD incorporates piezoelectric ceramic plates at the front and back of the skis. 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.
- Graphene: GRAPHENE is the thinnest and lightest material ever discovered. GRAPHENE is also the strongest material in the world, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all within the thickness of an atom.
- Lightweight KARUBA wood: It's the KARUBA wood core that gives the ski its bite and personality. It has the perfect density to weight ratio. The combination of Karuba, Karoyd and Graphene improves the ski, making it lighter and more balanced.

Technologies:
-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.
- UHM C base: Ultra tough base designed to handle all terrains.

Freetouring ski Protector: PR 11 Gw The PR 11 GW model, which features the new TX stop, is suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers. It features the innovative Full Heel Release (FHR) technology with intelligent horizontal and vertical release at 180° from the tail, significantly reducing the risk of injury. In addition to the innovative Full Heel Release technology, the Protector's heel stop offers all the TYROLIA safety features such as AFS, the TRP heel stop set and the Full Diagonal heel stop. These bindings are fully compatible with Alpines and GripWalk ski boots. Thanks to the Power Rail technology, the PR 11 GW can be mounted on any skis with a pre-mounted PR base.

Team review

Le Shape E-V8 nous a convaincu grâce à sa construction haut de gamme et légère. À la fois assez facile à gérer physiquement et adapté aux skieurs ayant une bonne technique, le V8 vous permettra de prendre un maximum de plaisir toute la journée sans pour autant finir sur les rotules ! On a particulièrement apprécié la précision de ce ski et sa rigidité homogène grâce à son noyau en Karuba. 

Les plus : Puissant, léger et maniable
Les moins : RAS dans son programme
