Head Chip technology in skiing!

There is a ski that is present in the lists Head for many years but that is rarely taken into account by magazines and by the buyers, but is an excellent ski and has a very high level of technology thanks to Chip: works?

Chip

The range is presented this year in three models, available in different lengths for different characteristics of skier and track. A word needs to be spent on the system chip, because many still do not know. It is a U.S. patent, born of military studies, it is said to stabilize the helicopter blades, and sport is used in some areas and in fact the Head ski area.

The chip is no more than a series of fibers pizoelettriche that are arranged over the entire length of the ski and connected to this well-known that Chip "feels" the vibrations produced by the skiing and is stiffen these fibers.

The beauty of this system is to adapt every 30 milliseconds to about what is happening beneath our feet, not to make us aware of anything. And do not think the computer chip, everything works without batteries or processors: the fibers pizoelettriche perceive vibrations and respond with a reaction as strong as is the stress, so as to make the ski stable and accurate. As

tell the technicians Head: "Transform the mechanical energy produced during skiing and releases it along the entire length of the ski making it very stable. Then he faster you go more skiing becomes stable."

At this point the question arises naturally: but it is not a publicity stunt?
No, the chip works and how! Indeed, for some tester works well enough to give almost annoying, preventing direct contact with the feelings that snow offers very well because it dampens the vibrations and the pitfalls of the land.
In the opinion of the writer instead of the Chip has found an excellent and allows for more stable slopes and absorb vibrations like no other. The range of


As Chip said, from a single original model are descended three, that change for the waisted and use.

The "classic" is the chip 66, for the beaten track: it is the shortest and the narrow middle, with a radius of about 12-13 mm depending on the height, then compared to a radius Slalom carver.

Evolution is the chip 72, but slightly longer particularly with a center "modern" wide and stable and suitable mostly for those who prefer wide curves and fast.

The new (present, however, since last year, the Monster range) is the chip 78, and twin tip off from the center, to be that great off-piste carvate on track. Since being brought together all kinds of favors enthusiasts because it manages to have more opportunity to track, no one skis off and split ends can have on the market today. In addition, vibrating very little off-piste and fresh, the chip does not interfere or intervene, and only then you can go lightly in these traits.
