Head Premium review 2015
Best Accessibility/Comfort!
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
These high-end HEAD skis incorporate the Intelligence™ CHIP technology. The electrical energy produced by the intellifibres is not just recycled, but stored and then gradually released thanks to a preprogramed chip –individually programmed to match the different properties of each ski. The intelligent ski’s impact increases tenfold, improving your performance while respecting your style.
Review: Pros
- Good performance up to intermediate speeds
- A versatile and adaptable ski
- Responsive with smooth turn initiation
- Particularly fluid and enjoyable on soft snow
- Very enjoyable and playful in short turns
- Highly accessible, a ski à for everyone
- Globally reliable behaviour, stable and reassuring
Review: Cons
- The reviewers were unanimous: it’s an excellent ski, incredibly easy to handle and really enjoyable as long as you don’t try to pick up too much speed. The Head Premium is therefore not a model we would recommend to skiers seeking to rip down the mountain, but it's the ideal ski for riders in search of a ski that's fluid, easy to handle and playful, creating terrific sensations at intermediate speeds.
