{"product_id":"2027-head-wcr-e-gs-rebel-team-junior-ski-314005","title":"2027 Head WCR e.GS Rebel Team Junior Ski","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2027 Head WCR e.GS Rebel Team is HEAD's junior giant slalom race ski, built around the same World Cup-derived construction philosophy as the senior FIS ski but tuned for the lengths, weights, and radii that work for younger racers. For 2027, the Team gets enhanced sidewall construction that lets more of the racer's energy get to the edge, which translates to sharper handling and better engagement in a GS turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGS at the junior level is where technique either gets built right or gets built wrong, and the ski underfoot has a lot to say about which one happens. The new sidewall construction makes this ski feel more connected and direct, which is exactly what a developing racer needs to learn how to drive a real GS arc instead of fighting a soft ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJunior GS racers from younger U-series classes through older juniors training toward FIS, plus lighter masters racers who want a junior-spec build. For committed club racers and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Worldcup Sandwich Construction here is the same fundamental layup as the senior race skis, with a wood core, titanal layers, and graphene reinforcement, scaled down for junior lengths. The new sidewall update is the headline change for 2027, and it does what it claims: more pressure reaches the edge, which makes the ski feel more decisive in a turn. EMC F handles damping with a ceramic piezo plate at the tip, taking the worst of the chatter out without adding weight. The RD Racing Top Sheet keeps the deck thin and responsive, the Race Structured UHM C Base delivers honest glide, and Rebel Camber underfoot keeps the engagement strong through a long radius. WCR Team raceplate is included and accepts Freeflex bindings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGS skis at any level are demanding, and this one is no exception. Junior racers who don't have a real GS turn yet, or skiers who only ski recreationally, will find this ski too much to handle. It's purpose-built for racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSized by FIS junior class and racer weight rather than stated height. Coaches and program directors should drive the size pick.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Head","offers":[{"title":"132","offer_id":51735346512168,"sku":"314005|132","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"140","offer_id":51735346544936,"sku":"314005|140","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"148","offer_id":51735346577704,"sku":"314005|148","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"156","offer_id":51735346610472,"sku":"314005|156","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"164","offer_id":51735346643240,"sku":"314005|164","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"172","offer_id":51735346676008,"sku":"314005|172","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-head-wcr-e-gs-rebel-team-junior-ski-314005-1-314005.jpg?v=1779194788","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-head-wcr-e-gs-rebel-team-junior-ski-314005","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
