Description
The "E-Power Joy" is designed for expert and very athletic female skiers who spend the majority of their time on groomed slopes and are looking for the precision and power of a race ski in a lighter, more maneuverable package.1. Profile and Construction
Level: Advanced to Expert (often described as the stiffest and most precise ski in the Joy line).
Usage: Carving/Piste exclusively. It excels on hard snow and even ice.
-
Construction:
Core: Uses a poplar wood core reinforced with Titanal (a sheet of metal). It is this addition of metal, absent from the Total Joy and Super Joy models, that gives it its race-level stiffness and power.
EMC Technology (Energy Management Circuit): As with the Total Joy, piezoelectric plates are integrated to absorb negative vibrations (chatter) at high speed. This makes the ski surprisingly smooth and stable despite its stiffness.
Graphene: The use of this ultra-light and resistant material allows for fine weight distribution to optimize maneuverability.
Better Balance (BB): The position of the plate is tilted to place the skier in an ideal posture, facilitating quick turn initiation.
2. Geometry (Radius and Sidecut)
The dimensions confirm its strong piste/carving orientation:
| Length (example) | Sidecut (Tip / Waist / Tail) | Turning Radius (Radius) |
| 158 cm | 113 / 70 / 98 mm | approx 14.1m |
| 163 cm | 113 / 70 / 98 mm | approx 15.1m |
70 mm Waist: This is a very narrow width that maximizes edge grip and allows for instantaneous edge transfers.
Radius of approx 14-15m: This is a medium/long radius. It is designed for speed and large carved turns, while being versatile enough to vary radii on a slope.
The binding is perfectly suited to the ski's performance.
Model: JOY 12 GW PRD (with the PowerRail system).
DIN Setting: 3.5 to 12. This is a high setting, suitable for powerful, heavy, or very fast skiers (expert level).
Compatibility: GripWalk (GW). It is compatible with classic alpine boot soles (ISO 5355) and the new GripWalk soles, offering more comfort when walking.
Performance: It features the Full Diagonal Toe (180° release for increased safety) and is mounted on the PRD (PowerRail) plate to ensure direct power transmission.
Conclusion
The Head E-Power Joy SW + JOY 12 GW PRD is a precision tool for the skier who wants to push her limits on the slope. It is demanding due to its Titanal construction, but it rewards the committed skier with phenomenal ice grip and high-speed stability rarely equaled in women's skis.
If you ski fast, love pure carving, and spend 90% of your time on the slopes, this ski is an excellent choice.
