Head Supershape team easy junior
Quick summary
The Supershape Team Easy Junior is a lightweight, user‑friendly piste ski tailored for kids learning to carve and moving from beginner toward early intermediate. Its soft flex and tip rocker make turn initiation effortless, so young skiers build confidence quickly with less fatigue over a full day. The pre‑mounted JRS plate and compatible adjustable junior step‑in bindings add convenience and longevity as boot sizes change. If you want a forgiving, confidence‑building ski that prioritizes ease of use on groomed slopes, this model delivers exactly that.
Construction and technology
Construction centers on a composite junior core with a Jr Power Frame and cap‑style build, paired with a structured topsheet and an extruded E‑base for low maintenance. ERA 2.0’s Allride rocker geometry gives just enough tip lift to start turns without sacrificing the camber’s grip underfoot. The JRS plate system keeps overall weight down and simplifies binding mounting and adjustment. Together these elements produce a durable, lightweight platform that balances playful handling with adequate torsional stiffness for controlled, predictable behavior.
On‑snow behavior and comparisons
On snow the ski feels very forgiving and playful: short to medium radius turns are easy to initiate and hold, which suits learning carvers well. The soft flex reduces the force required to bend the ski, helping kids develop technique without fighting the equipment. Compared to stiffer junior race or performance carving models, this ski favors accessibility over absolute high‑speed stability. That makes it more enjoyable for beginners but means more advanced or aggressive young skiers may outgrow it sooner and prefer a stiffer, heavier alternative.
Specs, meaning and final verdict
Regarding specs and what they mean: a 127 cm reference shows 111/67/96 mm sidecut with an approximate 8.7 m turn radius — ideal for nimble, mid‑radius turns on groomers. The light weight (≈960 g per ski at 127 cm) lowers swing weight and reduces fatigue, which is crucial for kids. Tip/waist/tail widths influence turn initiation, carving grip, and release; rocker profile eases turn entry while camber underfoot preserves edge hold. Overall, this ski is a practical, well‑balanced choice for parents and junior skiers focused on learning and progression.
