Head Power Joy 68
Brand new for winter 2021, the Head Power Joy is an ideal choice for advanced piste skiers looking for a hard charger with the latest ski technology.
If you’re into pioneering skis then you’ll be down with the Power Joy’s serious technical cred. It’s the first women’s ski to feature Head’s brand new race technology – aka Electronic Management Circuit – designed to reduce vibrations through the ski for an incredibly dampened and smooth performance.
When EMC is switched to ‘on’, negative vibrations are absorbed and the skier enjoys a more stable ride. You can see the tech at work in our McSki Test Instagram story so go check those good vibes out!
What distinguishes the Power Joy from the rest of Head’s race range is its lighter weight core construction, which gives the ski a real spring in its step and allows you to ping through each turn without feeling like you’re about to be bucked out of the saddle. The 12m turn radius makes it really nippy in shorter turns while still managing to continue to build the power throughout longer GS style carves.
Amy and Keren both had a ripper of a time aboard the Power Joy at this year’s Ski Test. “Highly responsive at both fast and slow speeds, the Power Joy whipped through turns and bounced energetically from edge to edge,” revealed Keren.
“The Power Joy does everything it says it will do,” said Amy. “Powerful and precise race-style performance but with less effort than you’d normally need to put in on an out-and-out race ski. Simply Joyous!”
Verdict
Powerful and precise race-style performance but with less effort than you’d normally need to put in on an out-and-out race ski. Price includes bindings.
