The read

This frontside all-mountain ski is built for groomed terrain, with a waist among the narrowest in its category cohort and a turn radius among the shortest, favoring quick, short-arc turns on piste. A rockered tip paired with full camber underfoot aids easy turn initiation while maintaining edge grip on hardpack. Rated for intermediate skiers, it suits those seeking a nimble, low-fatigue groomer ski for full days on the mountain.

Specs & what they mean

What the Shape e.V5's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 13.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.

Stability & dampness

At 1,845 g it carries a moderate, manageable weight underfoot.

Float & width

At 74 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
