Description

Perfect to link carved turns all day long, the Shape E-V8 piste ski from Head features an ergonomic shape and quality materials, providing flexibility and stability on groomed snow. Let it guide you: this ski turns on its own and will take you where you want in an instant. 

What is the program of the Head Shape E-V8 ski? 

The Shape E-V8 is made to trace beautiful lines and lean in the turns on groomers with commitment and liveliness. It is easy to handle at high-speed thanks to its construction called Sandwich Cap Carbon. It features a karuba and ash wood core reinforced by two layers of glass fibre on each side as well as a layer of carbon fibre. This provides some stiffness paired to lightness, for a progressive and dynamic flex. But it’s not over: Head also used graphene in the ski (graphene is a thin layer of carbon arranged to be stronger than diamond). This makes the ski more powerful without adding weight, for a really agile behaviour. With full sidewalls to boost the torsional stiffness to provide grip and precision in the turns. Also featuring the EMC technology (for Energy Management Circuit), that uses kinetic energy to cancel the vibrations, you get a model that is very pleasant to ski and will remain stable at high-speed. With its 75 mm wide waist, it will fly full-speed over any type of snow and you will be able to have a blast carving, trusting the ski thanks to its confidence inspiring construction. 

Who is the Head Shape E-V8 ski for? 

It is meant for intermediate or advanced skiers who want a nimble and fast ski to change paces easily on the slopes and keep elevating their level. It is an agile and efficient ski, with good grip and rebound.

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?
On glisshop.co.uk, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of products we sell. How can you find the right skis, which ones can suit your level, your style or your budget?

Your options: 

1. The advanced search engine: You'll find it everywhere on our website, as a sidebar on our listing pages. It allows you to select conditions and refine your selection: brand, level, style, etc. When you select them, only the relevant products will show. 

2. You can contact us on the 020 3129 3301: skis feature fine technologies and affect your safety. It is important to make sure that the skis you've selected will suit you. Call our landline and get in touch with our team for any questions regarding these products. 

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
