The Head WC Rebels e-Speed is a race ski designed for long, controlled turns on groomed slopes. At 180 cm with a radius of 12.8 m, it’s aimed at skiers looking for a steady, responsive feel when carving high-speed arcs.

Paired with Tyrolia (Head) Freeflex 14 GW bindings and an 85 mm brake, this setup ensures solid power transfer from boot to snow and reliable release when needed.
