Blending a playful shape and flex with strong construction materials, this ski is built to meet all your park skiing needs. If you want to maximize your park ability, then CT 1.0 is going to need to be on your feet.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It’s a park ski but it peforms surprisingly well all mountain and on groomers where it can lay down clean turns with plenty of energy, keeping up with many piste and firm snow dedicated models. It’s rails, jumps, hips and the like where it’s pop, response and balance really shine.Skier TypeThis is Candide’s park model, the ski for hitting manmade features. You might not be able to match his effortless style and huge tricks, but at least you won’t be blaming your kit. The CT 1.0 uses the best design and the best materials, no compromise.OverviewShape92mm underfoot is the sweet spot for a park ski that loses no performance and can rip when all mountain. An 18m (178cm) radius offers stability on landings and rougher or soft snow and still feels easy to use when shredding turns. The near-symmetrical twin shape ensures effortless switch skiing. The CT Signature Shape gives the ski an effortless feel wherever it’s used.RockerTip and Tail Rocker uses traditional camber underfoot for response and good edge grip, with rocker at the tip and tail to improve manoeuvrability by aiding turn initiation and completion. CoreFull wood core blends harder beech wood and lighter poplar to create a lively, durable and relatively light core. Ideal for a ski that wants to feel poppy and responsive while remaining tough. A Titanal / Rubber Stomp Pad is placed underfoot for additional strength, as well as protecting the wood core against heavy duty impact on rails, the Titanal and rubber adds stability and vibration.ConstructionFull Strength Sidewalls place strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. This provides the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn, as well as protecting the woodcore, edges and topsheet from impact and outside damage. On top of this is an Anti-Chip Micro-Cap, a hybrid of a full strength, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With Micro-Cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability, while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall protecting the fragile join that can be prone to chipping.Key FeaturesCT Signature Shape, Flex and StanceDesigned by the man himself, Candide Thovex, and the very same skis that he rides straight out of the wrapper. Based on the CT 5.0, the shape is retro-fitted to the narrower models in the range. SIGNATURe SHAPe: Moderately tapered tips and tails are complemented by an elliptical Radius sidecut for efficient, precise handling and carving. A combination of generous rocker and modest camber results in a wonderfully playful character, injecting new energy into an otherwise routine day on the mountain. SIGNATURe FLeX: Candide is never not tinkering, tweaking, learning, improving. He’s adamant that bigger rocker is best complemented by solid, stiffer tips and tails to help settle the skis and power through variable snow. Additionally, the stiff tips absorb more vibration when skiers touch down after going airborne. Just add a touch more flex under foot and it allows the skis to load up and POP on request. Welcome to the Candide Thovex Signature Flex. SIGNATURe STANCe: The narrowest spot on the ski is the centre of the radius, and it happens to be the most intuitive place from which to initiate pivoting of the funkfreaky-freestyle variety. Mounting here also works wonders for carving and popping off the back and front of your skis.XL 2.5mm edgesThicker edges mean increased durability and impact resistance, crucial for a ski that is built to test the rule book. elliptic Radius Sidecutelliptical Radius Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turns lengths, angles and mounting positions.eB tester’s comments: Luke (Buying Team) Well suited for someone looking for a high-end freestyle ski with loads of energy. Seasonnaire’s would find it wide enough to handle most of the mountain but enjoy it most in the park or off hits.Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)elliptic Radius Sidecutelliptical Radius Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski.

Don’t think the Ground Control is as simple as a stiff lower and soft upper. This is still a very stiff aggressive boot that has been built for performance. It’s just more versatile and rider-friendly that a hard boot.Dual Zone Coiler Boa ClosureThe tongue mounted H3+ Coiler is the top closure point for the boot. Geared at a ratio of 4:1, it tightens the top half of the boot quickly and effortlessly.

The Head Supershape Magnum has always had impressive grip, controlled handling and responsive power. The addition of the eMC in last year made it even smoother, boosting not only groomed piste performance but also chopped conditions and fresh snow. There aren't many piste skis that feel so good on marked runs and there aren't any that deal with other conditions like an e-Magnum.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes are the natural home, looking for the space to let loose and push the speed up. The short radius means it loves to ski the fall line and attack tighter spaces, but it it still feels good in wider turn shapes. It is surprisingly good off the side of the pistes too. Sure, it won't feel as smooth or stable as the all mountain specialists but it will leave the majority of one-dimensional piste models in it's snow trail.Skier TypeThe Magnum is quite possibly the most popular advanced piste ski of the last few years and this latest version is only going to reinforce that. It's not a hard ski to use, in fact, it can feel beautifully cruisy when you relax but, to really get the most from it and feel the best sensations, you need push the ski and test its limits.OverviewShapeThe 72mm waist is the ideal size for a ski that is going to feel fast from edge to edge and still be able to handle conditions when it gets choppy or there is soft snow about. The contact points are set right in the tip and tail so the effective edge is long, helping with the grip and creating a feel of immediate response when turning.RockereRA 3.0 S on the Supershapes uses a speed rocker which, put simply, means the ski has tip rocker and some clever tip design. There is plenty of camber along the skis length for rebound and energy. A targeted rocker at the tip with low rise, progressive radius and vibration absorbing fibres results in superior steering and less angulation is required for immediate response and a smoother ride.CoreVertically laminated wood with Graphene and twin Titanal layers. This mix of lightweight but strong materials produces a ski with the most extreme agility and thrilling responsiveness for ultimate performance. Graphene being so light means that thicker and wider Titanal sheets can be used, covering the entirety of the ski to ensure a more reactive and powerful ride.ConstructionHead's Worldcup Sandwich Cap Construction is developed with the most sophistacted materials known to man and uses tried and test techniques. The sidewall delivers energy to ski edge precisely for the best grip; the mini cap on top adds durability.Key FeatureseMCenergy Management Circuit, the world's only electronic ski dampening system. When the ski bends and vibrates, it takes the kinetic energy in the ski and transfers it into electrical energy, which is then used to absorb negative vibrations for a more stable experience. Smooth skiing and exceptional edge grip, whatever the conditions.GrapheneGraphene is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind. It is also the strongest material on the planet, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all in the thickness of one atom. By using it in the construction Head can reduce weight and increase strength of the ski.eRA 3.0eRA 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape and geometry using a targeted rocker at the tip with low rise, a progressive radius and vibration absorbing fibres. The rocker improves steering and enhances soft snow versatility. The progressive radius at the tip means that even though there is rocker, less angulation is required to get full edge contact, resulting in better grip. Intellifibers in the tip dampen vibrations for a smoother ride.eB tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) I love the way they're not difficult to ski and there's so much performance whether you let the skis run and pick up the speed or slow down and focus on technique.
