The Head Shape e.V5 is a piste ski aimed at skiers who enjoy a sporty feel on groomed slopes. With a focus on medium-radius turns, it’s suited for those looking to carve confidently from edge to edge while holding speed through the fall line.
At 170 cm, the Shape e.V5 has a 13 m turning radius and a sidecut measuring 128/74/109 mm, giving it quick edge initiation and stable carve support. This combination helps you link medium turns smoothly without feeling bogged down in tighter arcs. The ski comes mounted with Tyrolia (Head) PR 11 GW bindings in matt black with 85 mm brakes, offering straightforward release settings and reliable performance on the hill.
In ski design, “radius” describes the size of the circular arc the ski naturally follows when tilted on edge—a 13 m radius encourages mid-sized turns that balance agility with stability. The sidecut numbers (tip/waist/tail) define how much the ski narrows underfoot, so the deeper hourglass shape here makes turning more responsive while still providing enough surface area for grip and control at speed.
