Head have taken their know-how for producing agile & fast piste skis, & have added era 3.0 to produce a ski that can cruise happily all day long, & yet put it on edge & it flies! The 005 is ideal for the skier wanting to progress their carving turns on piste A ski designed for the piste, with a slight increase in width to 70mm over a classic piste ski it can eat up changeable snow conditions on the piste, & excels on firmer pistes, when finding an edge can be difficult. With ERA 3.0 Technology, finding good edge hold is a breeze, as is turn initiation & exit. New ‘ Diffusor’ technology further enhances the ride, with carefully placed ridges in the tail of the ski helping to drive power to the edges of the skis as you exit the turn, to give a little ‘speed boost’ This ski is a true confidence builder for the skier who wants to progress their carving without having to work the skis too hard. FEATURES & 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 & 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
