Head Shape e.V5 w/ PR 11 GW Binding 2026'

Fun and playful, the new Shape e.V5 is an easy-turning, frontside ski. The construction includes woodcore composite with sidewalls, enhanced in the front with HEAD's EMC technology, which absorbs negative vibrations creating a smoother ride. ERA 3.0 makes turn initiation a cinch thanks to the rockered tip combined with full edge contact for groomed snow performance. The agile 74-mm waist and LYT Tech materials result in less fatigue for a full day on the slopes.

Features:
 

LYT Tech Construction
By developing a ski line with lightweight Karuba wood and Graphene fully embedded we were able to increase performance while making it lighter. A unique weight distribution makes tip and tail thicker and the middle section thinner. The V-shape gives you effortless control for better steering, more stability and control. 
 

EMC F
The front of the ski includes a ceramic piezo plate that converts kinetic energy into electronic energy, which then absorbs unwanted vibrations for a smoother ride. 
 

ERA 3.0
A smart mix of rocker, radius, and rebound—three key technologies combined to create the ultimate all-mountain ski. Rocker Done Right. 
 

Graphene
The thinnest and lightest material known, used strategically in the ski to make it incredibly strong and lightweight—perfectly tuned to your riding style. 
 

 
A lightweight design that blends a fiber jacket with strong ABS sidewalls—giving you smooth, easy skiing with better shock absorption, stability, and edge grip. 
 

 
A vertically laminated wood core surrounded by lightweight PU for a smooth ride with less vibration—ideal for skiers seeking confident, performance-driven turns. 
 

Structured UHM C Base
Made from the same top-quality material used in HEAD’s race skis, this durable base features a special texture for excellent performance in all snow conditions. 
 

Easy turning
Shape’s all-mountain credentials let’s you confidently flow from edge to edge, carving perfect turns from ice to slush, corduroy to chopped up powder. 
 

Super LYT done right
LYT Tech makes an incredibly lightweight ski, with more material where it matters and less elsewhere. Use less energy. Ski for longer. 
 

Be a trailblazer
With an array of neon hues complementing its base the piste becomes your own canvas. 
 

Smooth operator
ERA 3.0 tech gives you stable, predictable handling to turn on any terrain. A smoother ride for an instantly effective edge. 
 

Austrian Engineering
HEAD was built on a philosophy of innovation and craftsmanship that we are still proud to practice to this day. 

Technologies:

EMC F
Energy Management Circuit – converts kinetic energy into electric energy to reduce unwanted vibrations for a smoother, more stable ride
  

ERA 3.0
Era 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape, and geometry. Think rocker, think radius, think rebound. Think 3-dimensional! 

Graphene
GRAPHENE is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind. GRAPHENE is also the strongest material on the planet, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all in the thickness of one atom.
