If you would like your skis set up and waxed, please send an e-mail sales@theski-shop.co.uk after placing your order with the following information below.
Please include your name and order number. Otherwise, skis will be sent out and will require waxing and setting up at your own convenience.

Skis with bindings drilled on will be classed as used and non-returnable unless faulty.

Information & details required from you for ski setup:

  1. Skier's Age.
  2. Skiers Height.
  3. Skiers Weight.
  4. Boot brand/make & sole length in millimeters. Usually found embossed on side of heels. eg 315mm
  5. Skier classification: Please pick one:Type -1, Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 3+

Type -1
Skiers looking for a lower release setting than type 1. Recommended for beginners over 25 years old.

Type 1
Ski conservatively. Prefer slower speeds. Ski on easy to moderate slopes. Intermediate level, but not in good physical fitness. Good skiers, but with smooth supple style, but emphasizing safety. Favour lower than average release/retention settings – This corresponds to increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased release capacity in a fall.

Type 2
Intermediate skiers in good physical condition. Prefer a variety of speeds. Ski on varied terrain, including most difficult trails. All skiers who do not meet all the descriptions of the other types.

Type 3
Ski aggressively. Normally ski at high speeds. Prefer moderate to steep terrain. Favour higher than average release/retention settings. This corresponds to decreased capability to release in a fall in order to decrease the risk of inadvertent binding release. (Type 3 should not be used by skiers of less than 22kg)

Type 3+
Very strong skiers, on challenging terrain. Skiers looking for higher release settings than type 3.

Please note: Skier type does not have the same meaning as skier ability. I.E, an advanced skier who skis all-terrain but is not particularly aggressive may be able to use type 2 settings.

Using the boot sole length you give, we set the binding to that length, but the final adjustments and checks can only be made with the actual boot. Heel and toe units on ALL boots have to conform to a certain size and shape. However, sometimes boots especially older models or well-worn ones, may vary in length compared to another stating the same measurements hence it is important that you do have them professionally double-checked.

We recommend that you have your skis double-checked by your local or resort ski shop with your actual boot.

Technical Information
HEAD skis with Era 3.0 are much easier to ski and provide much higher bandwidth of performance in any kind of terrain, making everyone who's not a die-hard racer or all-out freeskier - and that's 80% of the skiers out there - better skiers
 
ROCKER DONE RIGHT.
Imagine a ski that performs for everyone, anywhere: One for all. All in one.
HEAD Era 3.0 is not your one-dimensional "have a problem? we fix it!" technology. Era 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape, and geometry.
Think rocker, think radius, think rebound. Think 3-dimensional!
 
ALLRIDE ROCKER
For superior steering and increased floatation.
We place a highly targeted amount of rocker in each model to ensure maximum performance for all ability levels. Steering is easier for all skiers and soft snow versatility is enhanced.
 
INTELLIRISE REBOUND
For targeted stability.
We move our legendary piezoelectric Intellifibers to the tip of the ski. The nasty tip vibrations found on regular rockers are not found here. These skis are too smart for that.
 
PROGRESSIVE RADIUS
For tremendous turning.
Regular rocker makes skiers place their ski further on edge to have it touch from tip-to-tail. With progressive radius, up to 50% less angulation is needed to enjoy full edge contact. More edge on the snow = more edge grip.
 
Binding System
Power Rail system and PR11 Bindings
 
Better Power Transmission
PowerRail bases are 7% wider and 25% lower than Railflex II bases, directly improving power transmission from boot to edge. It gives the skis a Natural Flex to ensure unhindered natural flex the PowerRail base is mounted with one pair of fixed screws and three pairs of free gliding screws. This way the base smoothly adapts to the flex of the ski.
 
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.
