HEAD All Mountain 170 cm V-Shape V10 Skis With Protector 13 Bindings (Used)

The construction definitely sets this ski apart from many other mid-80's skis out there. We start with a karuba wood core with ash stringers, and this denser ash goes a long way in making the E-V10 a strong and sturdy ski with some good stiffness. Head does not stop there, though, adding two layers of carbon, a central strip of graphene and three layers of fiberglass. Most of these materials tend to fall on the reactive side of the spectrum, but since Head is able to add in a few damping layers to the mix, the ski ends up being quite silent and stable. In the central spine of the ski, Head uses a raised, three-dimensional portion that adds stability and power to the mix. This backbone helps keep the ski from chattering and counter flexing at the end phase of the turn. From a technological standpoint, we get Head’s Energy Management Circuit that filters out unwanted vibrations. This is found on their high-end skis as well, so it’s nice to see this tech make its way into the more recreational models as well. Length Radius Sidecut 170, 13.6 m at 170 cm 139/85/121 mm
