Head World Cup Rebels ISL 2014 Mens Skis With FreeFlex Bindings

Product Description

Head World Cup skis are probably the most successful skis in the history of alpine skiing. For 2013 the i SL offers World Cup construction & KERS energy system for the closest ski to a true FIS model. With an 11.5 metre turning radius this ski is incredibly agile & thanks to the 66mm waist is extremely agile edge to edge. FEATURES & BENEFITS KERS Technology: This works like a turbo charger that provides additional power & acceleration by stiffening the tail of the ski in outturns.  The effect results in a subtle kick, pushing the skier into the next turn.  Unlike Heads Intelligence fibres, KERS does not influence the torsional stiffness of the ski, but empowers the skis, longitudinal flex.    This season they have integrated a brand new chip capable of accumulating power & keeping it stored for precisely the right moment. Intelligence Technology: Having a ski that can adapt to differing conditions, but also adapts to your own skiing style is something that everyone would benefit from but previously, unless you could afford custom skis, was rarely available.  Over the last few years Head have been working on & improving their Intelligence technology which does just that.  On hard-packed slopes you want perfect edge grip. On soft snow, you want more manoeuvrability. Breaking the slope record you want your ski to perform differently than when you’re just cruising with your friends or family.  Heads Intelligence Technology uses fibres positioned in front of the binding to transform mechanical impulses into electrical energy. The harder you ride, the more energy is produced.  This electrical energy is led back to the Intellifibers. This causes them to stiffen up, putting more rebound & torsional stiffness into the ski; this progressively stabilizes the entire ski at high speeds. SKI
