6 FOCUS ON RACING The Racing Stable Fully focused and yet the mind seems empty. Every fiber in the body is tense. At a single «beep» it discharges. Nothing compares to the pure, straightforward simplicity of a starting gate. Speed is our heritage and last season s results show we re not just talking. HEAD is officially the fastest brand on the racing circuit today. And with the line-up we re going to keep it that way. A. No WORLDCUP isl Our «hors-competition» slalom ski: Not the exact same as our professionals ride (you wouldn t want that), but pretty damn close.

9 SURFACE LIQUIDMETAL CORE BASE PhySiCS ClaSS absolute RebOUND While manages our skis performance relative to the rider s needs, Liquidmetal is the material behind our skis exceptional elasticity and rebound. Liquidmetal takes advantage of the fact that a liquid molecule structure (unlike the solid structures fibers and alloys) cannot break and cannot be compressed. Thus, Liquidmetal delivers absolute rebound and shows no breakdown over time. Max rebound. Max agility. RegUlaR MeTalS Flexing solid materials, their molecular structure is compressed and can be damaged. immediate effect long-term effect Energy amortization. No full rebound.

RegUlaR FibeRS Flexing fibers, both the weave and the fibers solid molecular structure are subject to wear and tear. immediate effect long-term effect Energy amortization. No full rebound. Breaking down of rebound over time. how liquidmetal WORkS When Liquidmetal is flexed, the low ratio of compression provides instant rebound. Given its liquid molecular structure, molecules that are compressed or stretched simply reposition themselves. No breakdown of molecular structure occurs. The liquidmetal effect immediate effect No energy amortization. Absolute rebound. long-term effect No breaking down of rebound over time. HEAD R+D, ENGINEERED IN AUSTRIA

10 HEAD s Theory of Relativity Ski performance is not an absolute measure. What you expect from a ski always depends on how and where you ride. On hard pack you want grip. On soft snow, you want maneuverability. Breaking the slope record, you want another kind of performance than when you re just cruising with your friends and family. Adaptive HEAD helps your ski perform perfectly both relative to terrain and your individual riding mode. how it WORkS Intellifibers positioned at 45 in front of the binding transform mechanical impulses into electrical energy. The harder you ride, the more energy is produced. The electrical energy is led back to the Intellifibers. This causes them to stiffen up, putting more rebound and torsional stiffness into the ski. WhaT it DOeS Their 45 position in front of the binding increases the ski s torsional stiffness, pushing the edge into the snow in hard turns. Intelligence progressively stabilizes the entire ski at high speeds. The extra boost Some HEAD high-end skis boast HEAD Intelligence CHIP technology. Here, the electrical energy produced by the Intellifibers is not just recycled but accumulated and released bit by bit through a pre-programmed chip individually timed to match the oscillation properties of the ski. Thus, the effect of Intelligence is multiplied, providing even more performance relative to your skiing style. HEAD R+D, ENGINEERED IN AUSTRIA

11 The ChiP line head intelligence Technology is a proven high-end-standard which very simply makes our skis ride better than others. Focusing on Intelligence CHIP Technology, it s a whole different ball-game. If you re affluent, your car might have a computer-controlled suspension system. For a fraction of the cost, a HEAD CHIP ski will do the same: PROACTIVELY adapt to terrain and speed. A. No ChiP SUPeRShaPe It s like driving an RS 6. Or maybe a Quattroporte? Could be one of those new Astons, too. Point is: This ski is chromy, roomy, comfy and FAST like nothing you ve ever put your hands on.

14 FOCUS ON FREERIDE RiDiNg MONSTeRS head Monsters do what all good monsters do: They eat tons of powder and crud. And they get fatter every year. With between 76 and 102 mm waistlines, these skis go anywhere. A. No MONSTeR im 95 O.b. Being a serious off-piste challenger the Monster im 95 O.B. will take on any powder gun but remains light and versatile enough to get over those hard-knockphases (thanks, AIRCOAT!). Lengths: Dimensions: 181 Radius: 181 AIRCOAT Hollow Glass Technology HGT2 Tour Frame Construction Snow-repelling waxed Tour Top Ready to mount touring skins Structured UHM C Split Base A.

15 Super Light + Super Strong = Super Agile While everybody is trying to make the core of their skis lighter, we decided to put air in the surrounding fiberglass. AIRCOAT means our fibers are hollow, not only making our freeride and multi condition skis super light, but extremely agile and strong at the same time. This technology, also used in the aerospace industry, is the main reason, why AIRCOAT equipped skis like Jon Olsson s new pro model or our XENON line will most probably be again the lightest skis on the market next year. hollow FibeRS Super Light RegUlaR FibeRS 40% lighter AIRCOAT # 1 Regular glass fibers are solid, whereas AIRCOAT fibers are hollow. This reduces the overall weight of the fiberglass in a ski up to 40%. And since there is a lot of glass in a ski, this makes a big difference. REGULAR # 1 super strong SaMe STReNgTh AIRCOAT # 2 The hollow fiber has both a higher compression strength and a higher specific strength than any solid fiber. This makes hollow fibers at least as strong as conventional, full fibers. REGULAR # 2 super agile MORe agility AIRCOAT # 3 The combination of lighter weight and increased strength in Hollow Glass fibers results in more resilience and agility of the ski. Hollow glass fibers are more responsive and faster in both absorbing and transmitting energy to and from the edge of your skis. REGULAR # 3 HEAD R+D, ENGINEERED IN AUSTRIA
