New 2024 Supershape e-Rally skis w/ PDR 12 bindings, Size: 156

In one form or another, the Head Supershape E-Rally has been at the forefront of the front side realm for years. While the move from I-Rally to E-Rally wasn’t a seismic shift, the small changes and improvements certainly kept this ski at the top of the discussion chain. Head is in a great place in this front side world because they have such a successful racing department. As a result, they’re able to filter in a lot of those technological and construction advancements to their more recreational ski models. At the same time, these skis are at the very high end of recreational, offering a level of performance that most advanced and expert skiers may not even reach. That’s fine, though, because they also have the ability to make clean turns for less than elite skiers, so there’s a bit of a range here as well. The build is what keeps this ski in the upper echelons of the ski world. We get Head’s World Cup Sandwich construction in the E-Rally, lacing vertical stringers of wood together in a precise and stable platform. We then get two layers of metal on top and bottom, and multiple laminates of fiberglass. In addition, Head uses a Graphen strip through the middle of the ski to stiffen it even further. This makes the Supershape E-Rally one of the stiffer and denser skis on the market, with the stability to match. From a technological perspective, Head implements their Energy Management Circuit to the mix which filters out unwanted vibrations in the forebody of the ski and through the tail. It claims to do a lot of fancy stuff, and whether it does or doesn’t do what it says, there’s no denying that the ski is very smooth and chatter-free. This leads to a confident and consistent feel throughout the turn, making the E-Rally one of the stronger performers out there.
