Head Crux 105 Pro - Backcountry Touring Ski - Ski Review

Product Summary

Due to its lighweight construction the Head Crux 105 Pro is easy to handle not only downhill but also during longer ascents. The Head Crux 105 Pro's full retail price is €1,280. The Ski costs roughly €650 more than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it a real luxury Ski. This ski is best suited for aggressive skiers who want to push the ski to its limit. The Crux 105 Pro is a pure freeride ski. Riding on groomers is no problem but due to its fairly wide waist the ski has a strong bias towards powder runs. The ski is available from 170 to 184cm.

The ski in details

For backcountry enthusiasts who love a wide ski, the Crux 105 Pro delivers lightweight maneuverability for touring up, and HEAD's renowned downhill performance for skiing down.

The Crux 105 Pro delivers the best of both worlds for touring: Lightweight maneuverability for the hike up, and HEAD's renown downhill performance for the ski down. Whether it's a backcountry powder lap or a pre-work ski at your favorite resort, the new Crux 105 Pro offers the widest footprint in the collection. The 105mm waist increases float and versatility in a variety of snow conditions and a full triaxial carbon jacket adds torsional stiffness for reliable edge hold. The Crux 105 Pro further reduces weight without sacrificing performance thanks to a Graphene and Karuba wood core and a design that omits topsheet material.
