The 2025 Head Worldcup Rebels e-Speed is a weaponized carving ski built for advanced and expert skiers who want a race-room feel without the harshness of a full-blown FIS setup. It’s the long-radius counterpart to Head’s more slalom-inspired offerings, and it’s all about speed, precision, and big arcs on hardpack. This ski doesn’t just like to turn—it demands it.

At 68mm underfoot, the e-Speed is razor-thin by modern all-mountain standards, which translates to lightning-fast edge-to-edge transitions and an unmatched connection to the snow. Head packs it with serious tech: a wood core of beech and fir, dual Titanal layers for dampness and edge grip, and their EMC (Energy Management Circuit) system that absorbs vibration to keep things smooth when you're going Mach 5. The construction is finished off with a Worldcup Sandwich Cap and traditional camber, all of which screams stability and responsiveness at high speeds.

Where this ski comes alive is on firm morning corduroy or icy east coast groomers—anywhere you can lay it over and let it run. It thrives on long, sweeping GS turns but remains agile enough for more dynamic skiing if you stay on top of it. The ski feels smooth and confident, especially at higher speeds where the EMC tech does its best work. It’s not a ski for cruising or casual skiers—it wants an engaged pilot who’s willing to drive it through the entire turn.

Compared to the Supershape e-Speed or e-Magnum, the Worldcup Rebels e-Speed is more demanding and less forgiving, but it pays you back with race-level performance and edge precision that’s hard to match. It sits just below the e-Speed Pro in terms of stiffness, offering a slightly more accessible flex while still being an elite-level frontside tool.

If you’re the kind of skier who watches World Cup races and thinks, “That looks fun,” the e-Speed brings that energy to your local groomer. It’s built for those who live for edge angles, love dialing in perfect technique, and want a ski that rewards power and commitment. Just be ready—this one likes to go fast, and it doesn’t wait around.
