2026 Head Supershape e-Original Skis W/ Protector PR 11 Bindings

The 2026 Head Supershape e-Original is the purest carving tool in the Supershape collection, laser-focused on edge precision and short-turn excellence. Sitting at the narrowest point in the lineup, it delivers slalom-style performance in a non-race format that’s still race-adjacent, offering serious frontside skiers a tool that thrives on groomed terrain and demands edge commitment.

Why we like it:

This ski delivers slalom precision without going full race-room. It’s the perfect fit for technical skiers who want unmatched grip and edge response with just enough forgiveness to stay fun all day.

Who it's for:

Best suited for expert-level carvers and former racers who spend nearly all their time on firm snow and enjoy making energetic, short-radius turns from top to bottom. Advanced skiers with strong edge control will also find room to grow here.

Highlights:

For 2026, the e-Original features Head’s Worldcup Sandwich Cap Construction with vertically laminated wood stringers, Titanal layers above and below the core, and Graphene for added stiffness and weight savings. The big update for this year is the addition of Crossforce Carbon underfoot, increasing torsional rigidity and edge hold in high-pressure carves. Head's EMC (Energy Management Circuit) is back to smooth out vibration and chatter, especially on icy surfaces. The new constant-ramp-angle binding plate boosts initiation and drive through the turn. At 66 mm underfoot with a 12.1-meter radius in the 170 cm length, this ski is built to turn—and fast.

Things to consider:

With no tip or tail rocker, a slalom-like shape, and full edge contact from tip to tail, this ski wants to be on edge at all times. Skiers looking for versatility or off-trail adaptability will need to look elsewhere.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis ski true to size. Stick to your typical frontside length for the best blend of grip and energy. Shorter lengths will enhance quickness; longer lengths add a touch of stability.
