With Head’s “Rocker Done Right”, era 3.0, the all mountain REV 80 believes its width to produce a nimble all conditions piste ski that is equally agile off the sides for the progressing intermediate and advanced skier wanting to retain a short turn radius. Whatever the snow conditions, and whether on piste or off into the powder, this ski delivers a dependable sure –footedness and has the range to allow you to develop and push your skills. The 80mm width is good for modern European ski conditions and allows you to explore the mountain a little more even if your ambitions are 90% on the piste. The PR11 Bindings offer great performance across a wide DIN range. This also offers a slight reduction in weight over the 80’s bigger brother the Rev Pro 85. FEATURES AND BENEFITS ERA 3.0 takes 3 key technologies to combine them into one awesome skiing package: 1. ALLRIDE ROCKER A targeted amount of rocker is placed in each era 3.0 ski to compliment the radius of the ski, to ensure maximum performance for all ability levels. Steering is easier for all skiers and soft snow versatility is enhanced. 2. PROGRESSIVE RADIUS Regular rocker makes skiers place their ski further on edge to get the full edge length from tip-to-tail. With Head’s progressive radius, up to 50% less angulation is required to enjoy full edge contact. More edge on the snow means more edge grip. 3. INTELLIRISE REBOUND Head have moved their legendary piezoelectric Intellifibers to the tip of the skis. The nasty tip vibrations found on regular rockers are not found here. These skis are too smart for that. SKI SPECIFICATION Geometry: 130mm/81mm/112mm (In 177cm length) Turn Radius: A very agile 14.8 metres average (In 177cm length) for an 80mm width all-mountain ski Core Construction: Sandwich Cap Construction with Intellifibers Bases: Quality Structured UHM C Bases Bindings: Head PR 11 Bindings, PowerRail SKI PROFILE Snow Conditions: Groomed Pistes, Unprepared Pistes, Light Powder Ski Terrain: Pistes, Light Off-Piste Skier Level: Intermediates, Advanced, Expert Skiers “When I had the speech on era 3.0, and even the replica mini ski model (which we subsequently ‘borrowed’, sorry Head) I listened but maybe was thinking ‘here we go again’. How wrong I was, this isn’t ground breaking technology, but rather the application of three different technologies to produce an awesome result. If you are not looking for an all-out aggressive all conditions ski (Which would be the REV 85 PRO) then this is an ideal compromise ski for someone who wants to blast from time to time, and cruise the pistes too.” IS IT FOR ME? For the all conditions skier that wants no compromise edge hold and full edge contact, but wants a bit of width and float when the conditions dictate on the piste.
