The read

The Head Shape V4 is a frontside all-mountain ski built for groomed terrain, rated for intermediate skiers. Its 74mm waist sits narrower than nearly all all-mountain skis in the catalog, and its turn radius is among the shortest in the category, favoring quick, nimble edge-to-edge transitions. Tip rocker aids easy turn initiation, and the lightweight build supports longer days on piste without fatigue.

Specs & what they mean

What the Shape V4'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 1,850 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.
