I can help some people with my experience with this ski. This E-magnum is better than the model year before the i-magnum. In the year 2019 i liked the i-speeds even more due to it`s more playfull and agressive character. But... model 21/22 e-speed was not my cup of tea. They where quite comparable with my 2013 stockli SC. Fun for very hard driving/carving. But a whole day on the slopes would take quite a lot of energy. The e-magnum suprised me a lot. They are more stable than last year, the same easy turning but the edge of the i-speeds. They feel light on the foot and can be carved very good as well as slipping turns. They have a ceiling where they will loose a little stability compared to the racers like the Stockli SC, CX but they never let me down. The magnums are for me the better allround ski. Where the black slopes are easy turning and blue slopes are perfect carve ski`s. Don`t fool yourself of getting the best race ski for grip and speed, because all pro`s have a neg. A little list of skies i skied last 2 years. - Stockli CX 2020. Stable ski but needs speed and good technique - salamon S-race Very difficult ski, feels heavy needs to be pushed with power and speed but very stable overall. - Atmomic redster s9 Comparable with the stockli. - rossignol TI hero elit ST. Easy turning, fun ski, felt like between the i-speed en i-magnum. - Head i-speed Very fun ski to turn carved turns. It want to carve the whole time. Stable on high speeds but can be carved and turned at low speeds. - Head i-magnum Good in turning but don`t like high speeds. Good grip but feels a little brave. - Head e-magnum (see above) - Head e-speed (see above)

Thank you for the information provided 🙏 I am looking for ski and I most definitely think this is my model 🙂

The review is great! I also watched your review of the nordica 70 pro, which I also liked, which is the better ski?

But how does it SKI? You covered all of Head's marketing talking points, but didn't really say much of anything about the ski's performance. I have the 2018 model, and I'm curious if the new lineup offers anything worth upgrading to this season, since it's the first versions that aren't just graphics changes since mine came out...

I had 2012 - iMagnums- is there much diff to these ?

excellent review...where can I buy a head band like that?

80Mhz - you do know tha "hertz" already has "per second" part in it, right? So first of all, saying 80Mhz per second is like sayng 80 milion times per second per second. It's stupid - don't say it like this. 80Mhz is enough. Second of all 80Mhz vibration in a ski? You must be kidding (or Head is if they are the ones claiming such value). Which part of a ski vibates at this rate? The most vibration prone part of a ski is a tip (nose). Lets jus say it moves only one milimiter up and only one milimeter down. This would mean that the tip would travel 2mm x 80 milion / second = 160km/s. This means that a tip of a ski would be traveling at a speed equal to 576 000 km/h - no man made object in history moved at this speed (and I have to remind you that we are talking about only 1mm of travel up and 1mm of travel down - which is not what happens in real life). In the other words - 80Mhz vibration of any meaningful part of a ski is not only marketing BS, but is simply imposible on a slope (even in laboratory it would be hard to obtain). The third thing - this static electric system - it's way too weak to stop any vibration that a skier could feel or generaly any vibration that would have any influence on ski's performance. This is all marketing BS. Start thinking for yourself or at least do not treat us like idiots.

This review was based on practical testing with a description of the technical features. The reviewer alluded to accepting the energy management claims without full understanding. You can offer your scientific knowledge and dispute the manufactures claims without beating up the reviewer. Its called a polite response without making yourself look immature.

Maybe he means 80Hz...which might be reasonable...I think the whole idea of that piezoelectric fibres included in the stucture is about changing the stiffness of the skis function of the vibrations / electrical impulses received by the "ecu"...that ability to adapt will also mean the ski will absorbe more vibrations than average ski, comparing to a traditional ski, especially when the conditions change. I don;t know if it really works, or is just the structure of the skis which is responsable, but, after testing them on hard snow/ ice/ ice cubes blue/red/ black slopes, with a mixtures of carve, skidding/ A-shape etc turns, they performe excellent. As reference, I weight around 99 kilos, and my previous slope skis were the last 3 generations of Atomic SL, 165/ 159; I have also used Dynafit Chugach and Movement Go Strong 106 (for offpiste).

What? MHz per second? Think about that!

Ski instructor test doen not include physics...it',s okay, the system works...ot least they feel.very very smooth...
