2026 Head Supershape e-Magnum SW Skis w/ Protector PR 11 Bindings

The Supershape e-Magnum is a carving ski built for advanced skiers who prioritize precision, edge hold, and frontside versatility. Sitting at the heart of Head’s Supershape lineup, it balances quick edge-to-edge agility with the composure needed for high-speed carving. Its narrow waist and energetic feel make it particularly at home on groomed trails, while its adaptable turn radius allows it to move comfortably between short, technical turns and longer ones.

Why we like it:

We like how the e-Magnum blends race-inspired precision with a slightly more forgiving and versatile feel. It delivers strong edge hold and stability when pushed, yet still allows for smooth turn initiation and easy transitions between turn shapes. The ski feels composed at speed without becoming overly demanding, which makes it a reliable choice for confident frontside skiers.

Who it's for:

This ski is designed for advanced and expert skiers who spend most of their time carving groomed trails and want a precise, energetic ride. It suits those who value strong edge grip and responsiveness, but still want the ability to vary turn shapes without committing to a full race ski. It also works well for skiers who ski fast and expect stability without sacrificing agility.

Highlights:

The World Cup sandwich construction pairs a wood core with metal reinforcement, which gives the ski a damp, stable feel and strong edge hold when the pressure builds through the turn. Graphene and Crossforce Carbon reduce overall weight while improving how efficiently energy moves from the binding into the ski, so each turn feels direct and powerful without adding unnecessary bulk. Head’s EMC system actively reduces vibration, helping the ski track smoothly at higher speeds and keeping it composed on firmer snow. The Speed Rocker profile introduces a subtle tip rocker that eases turn initiation while camber underfoot maintains consistent edge contact and rebound through the finish of the turn. With its 72 millimeter waist and relatively tight sidecut, the ski transitions quickly from edge to edge and favors clean, precise carving on hardpack.

Things to consider:

The e-Magnum is built with a clear focus on groomed performance, so it feels less comfortable in softer snow or off-trail conditions. It prefers to be driven with intent, and less aggressive skiers may find it a bit demanding compared to more forgiving frontside options.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The e-Magnum skis true to length with a strong, supportive tail that rewards a centered to forward stance. Skiers who prioritize quickness and tighter turns can size slightly shorter for faster transitions. Those who like to ski fast and carve longer turns will benefit from sizing up for added stability and edge hold.
