What HEAD says about the Supershape e-Magnum
“The newly-designed Supershape e-Magnum owns the distinction of most versatile carving ski: Fast or slow, short or long turns, the e-Magnum handles it all. With a 72mm waist, a narrow tail and a tip shape designed for easy turn initiation, skiers get full-length edge grip and rebound in the turn. A metal-reinforced World Cup Sandwich layup is enhanced with light but strong Graphene and Crossforce Carbon, which results in a better power transmission of forces onto the slopes. HEAD’s EMC technology reduces vibration for a smooth ride at all speeds. The ski’s unique Better Balance system plate provides a constant ramp angle for all boot sizes, offering optimum balance for skiers.”

Looking forward to hearing your take on these. Have skied them a few times in both 170 and 177 at test weekends in Switz and Austria. Really liked them, decent heft, especially the 177. Also tried the eSpeed (68mm), but did not like that as much, felt far less substantial. Have never managed to get on the eTitan but would like to.
