Head Collective 105 2014 Mens Skis With Adrenalin Bindings

The new Head Collective 105 is an All-Mountain Freeride ski featuring Head’s new TTS Tip and Tail Stabiliser System for supreme float and control when off the sides. 105mm underfoot, the ski gives tonnes of float in powder and yet with ABS Sidewalls and a 60% camber underfoot can still tear up the pistes. This exo-skeleton tip and tail reduces swing weight and vibration whilst creating better pressure distribution on turn entry and exit. FEATURES AND BENEFITS TTS is a stabilising exoskeleton which dampens the vibrations normally felt from rockered tips and tails also reducing the overall swing weight, and creates a ski with a playful yet high level of performance. The system is comprised of an elastomeric inlay for vibration control, as well as a glass fibre exoskeleton for stability
and torsional strength. This combination not only reduced vibrations but creates better pressure distribution upon entry and exit of your turns, by minimising lateral flex of the skis. Reducing overall vibration means better edge control and therefore increases overall skiing performance. In addition, the reduction of core materials in the tip and tail has created a reduced swing weight for easier handling and manoeuvrability both on snow and in the air. AllRide Rocker - Head place highly targeted amount of rocker in each model to ensure maximum performance for all ability levels. Steering is easier for all skiers and soft snow versatility is enhanced. 20% rocker - 80% camber. A Sandwich Cap construction incorporates a traditional wood core and sidewall construction with an outer cap
layer, for a blend of responsiveness and durability. Tuffwalls are impact resistant ABS Sidewalls, which maintain responsiveness but can also take a beating whilst offering a little damping too. ISS – Independent Suspension System, is a construction throughout the ski with damping at key points for a smoother ride when the going is chopped up underfoot.

FOR ME? For the Freeride skier who wants to still have good edge hold rather than going down the full-rocker path. Also ideal for those wanting to explore the back country by adding a touring mode binding. The Collective feels super smooth underfoot, whether in the powder or on the piste which is where full rocker skis can sometimes feel a bit ‘firm’. By keeping some camber, and with the damping system, this ski feels super smooth on and off the piste, and is a real eye-catching ski too! Very light for a 105mm ski thanks to those tips and tails.
