Is your pragmatic side trying to convince you that today is a day for the svelte and narrow skis? Or, is your optimistic side trying to convince you that yesterday's 3 inches will actually feel more like 8, and therefore, wider skis are required? Not a huge fan of analysis paralysis, HEAD makes the decision easy with the Crux 105 Pro. Being plenty wide enough, the Crux 105 Pro can handle powder while maintaining the impressive carving chops for which HEAD is known. When conditions turn from pristine to less-so, the Triaxial Carbon Jacket surrounding a KARUBA and Graphene core provides stable performance that will punch through variable snow with noticeable dampness. The long turn radius begs for fast and aggressive skiing while keeping the ski predictable when navigating steeps. The athletic weight lets you ski all conditions you'll encounter on those extended spring days. Finally, HEAD omitted a topsheet in the design of this ski, giving you a full glimpse into the ski's inner workings while saving weight. If the crux of your day is figuring out what ski to grab, look to the HEAD Crux 105 Pro for your answer.

  • Karuba and Graphene core is lightweight, damp, and high-tech.
  • A woven Triaxial Carbon Jacket provides torsional rigidity and allows for reliable edge hold.
  • Topless Tech omits the topsheet for a unique look and drops weight for increased efficiency.
  • Snow Free coating means you won't inadvertently haul enough snow to build an igloo.
  • Sandwich Cap construction saves weight so you can spend more time doing what you love, skiing!
  • Structured UHM C Base has great glide and is used on HEAD's World Cup level offerings.

Question from Dallin Baker
 
I was in the shop today and these caught my eye! I am looking for a Ski about this width that is light and able to handle variable conditions very well. I am in between these and the Fischer transalp 105 CTI. They look very similar on page besides the 200 g difference! What’s the difference in skiing quality? Which one has easier turn initiation? And which has better edge hold for steeper hard conditions? Thanks!

Answer from Emmett I
 
Hi Dallin,

Both great skis! The Crux handles variable snow well for the weight, but the extra weight of the Transalp makes it more capable in crud. The Transalp has a bit more rocker too, and maybe a bit softer at the tip, so it handles soft snow a little better. The Cruxes initiate turns a bit easier in soft snow, despite the turn radius I felt like they prefered shorter turns as well. In steep, firm conditions, I would take the Crux. Very torsionally stiff and not much rocker.

I had the chance to get in these in firm conditions. I skied the 177 which is a bit long for what I was looking for, but they were surprising maneuverable still thanks to the lightweight and stiffness. As for the stiffness, I didn't have any trouble bending them into arcs with Zero G Tour Pro's and they were fun on consistent surfaces. When things got bumpy or when really shutting down the speed they were on the chattery end of the spectrum of similar sized skis. On the other end is the Fischer Transalp 105 which was impressively damp for 1500g. The Armada Locator 104s fell in the middle for me, all pretty in line by weight.
If weight is your biggest priority in a ~105 ski, these are worth a look.

Question from Brendan M
 
Have you guys had a chance to ski these yet? If you take stock in the awards/positive reviews these skis have received they seem to be class leading in the ultralight weight midfat category... would love to hear what you guys think of them compared to for example the movement alp tracks 106 and helio carbon 105. Cheers, Brendan

Hi Brendan, yes, we like to test skis before deciding whether to carry them. I have not read the reviews, but these would be class-leading in carving ability imo...right up there with the OG Alp Tracks 106 (the current version is less of a carver). Very stable and fun on edge...a Head ski. On the flip side, Crux is relatively stiff and doesn't have much rocker so they end up being less floaty than the others. The Zero G 105 is a closer comparison ski than the others you mention; I felt the Helio didn't excel at anything.

Thanks - if they can compete with the zero g 105 for versatility while weighing 200grams less that will be quite a ski... even less tip rocker than the zero g 105?
