Protector 13 GW Bindings: The all-new Protector PR 13 GW binding features our innovative Full Heel Release (FHR) technology and promises outstanding safety by significantly reducing release forces in forward and especially backward twisting falls. Thanks to the intelligent 180° heel release, horizontal and vertical, the load on the knee is significantly reduced, ensuring safer skiing. This leads to a significant reduction and mitigation of knee injuries. As the binding is based on our PowerRail technology, it works with all skis with a pre-mounted PR Base. In addition, the binding is GripWalk compatible and can be used with alpine and GripWalk ski boots. This binding innovation is for all piste skiers, whether young or old, beginner or advanced. In addition to the innovative Full Heel Release technology of the heel, the toe of the Protector binding offers all TYROLIA safety features, such as AFS, TRP toe system and Full Diagonal toe.

EMC: Energy Management Circuit. This is some mad-science stuff—and if we know Head, it will ski incredibly well on snow. Essentially, EMC removes bad vibrations

Speed Rocker: A slight rise on the ski with standard chamber, which means great performance, easy turn initiation, and high versatility on soft snow.

Race Structured UHM C Base: The highest quality, fastest base and finish known to man. The technicians who build skis for our World Cup Rebels use the same material and machines to put this scary fast base and structure into your skis.

Graphene: A balanced mix of light Graphene and extra titanal layers. 

Better Balance: This ski is equipped with a Better Balance Base. The inclined Better Balance Base provides a constant ramp angle for all boot sole sizes, ensuring that all skiers enjoy the same mechanical advantage for easy turn initiation and stability at high speeds.

WC Sandwich Cap Construction: Originally invented by Howard Head in the 1940s and perfected by expert ski technicians today, this construction features a vertical laminated wood core surrounded by phenolic sidewalls and premium Titanal®. It delivers the fastest performance on the planet.
