Head Supershape Titan - 2024/25 Ski Test Review

The Head Supershape e-Titan is a ski with the build of a piste performance model but it uses a wider waist and a longer radius, meaning more stability and no loss of grip or energy compared. The addition of EMC, an electronic dampening system, has smoothed the ride and works perfectly with the new shape. It's the ultimate choice for a high-performance ski that will crush pistes and won't even flinch when the snow gets chopped or heavy.
Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type
This e-Rally going to be happy anywhere on the frontside. Reds and blacks are the go-to pistes and the wider shape ensures other terrain is accessible too. Trees, packed-down runs off the sides of pistes and fresh snow stashes are all natural playgrounds for this ski and, if you're lucky enough to be skiing in spring, the Titan will take some beating when it comes to powering through slushy and soft conditions. Skier Type
Good skiers who like a performance ski for moving round the mountain at pace and with grip and precision. Whilst the skiing will often be fast, the beauty of the e-Titan is it's stability, so much so that just cruising and relaxing is an option, even at medium speeds when some other advanced and expert models can be tiring to use.
Overview Shape
At 84mm underfoot, the e-Titan is wider than earlier versions, it also lost some mm's from the tip, resulting in the current longer radius. This produces more stability in rougher snow and a smoother ride thanks to the clever EMC technology making the most of the shape. The contact points are set right in the tip and tail so the effective edge is long, helping with the grip and the feel of immediate response when turning. Rocker
ERA 3.0 S on the Supershapes uses a speed rocker which, put simply, means the ski has tip rocker and some smart 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. Core
Vertically 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. Graphene 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. Construction
Head'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. Graphene is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind.
Key Features EMC
Energy 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. Graphene

ERA 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.
