Head Crux 93 Pro - Backcountry Touring Ski - Ski Review

Product Summary

Due to its lighweight construction the Head Crux 93 Pro is easy to handle not only downhill but also during longer ascents. The Head Crux 93 Pro's full retail price is €1,180. The Ski costs roughly €550 more than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it a real luxury Ski. There is no speed limit for this ski. Aggressive skiers pushing the ski to its limit will be fascinated. The Crux 93 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 163 to 184cm.

The ski in details

The Crux 93 Pro bridges the adventurous skier’s needs for alpine touring with reliable downhill performance and lightweight maneuverability for skinning uphill.

With true all-mountain versatility, the Crux 93 Pro bridges the skier’s needs for alpine touring: Lightweight maneuverability for the hike up, and HEAD's renowned downhill performance for the ski down. The Crux 93 Pro performs in a variety of snow conditions: The full triaxial carbon jacket adds torsional stiffness and the 93mm waist can float or plow through chopped up snow. The Crux 93 further reduces weight without sacrificing performance thanks to a Graphene and Karuba wood core plus a design that omits topsheet material.
