The Head Raptor 140S RS 19/20 is a high-performance carving ski built for advanced skiers who want stability and precision on groomed runs. Its race-inspired design focuses on crisp turn initiation and solid edge hold.
With a 96 mm waist and a low-volume profile, this ski balances agility and support. The narrower, lower-volume shape lets you shift from edge to edge quickly, while still offering enough underfoot platform to stay composed through varied snow conditions. A flex rating of 140 ensures the ski remains firm under strong pressure, giving you confidence when driving into turns or holding speed.
The flex rating reflects how much a ski bends under load—at 140, this model is quite stiff, which translates to more direct power transfer and reduced chatter at high speeds. Low volume means there’s less material height relative to width, lowering the center of mass for faster edge engagement and lighter swing weight. Together, these specs deliver precise control and responsiveness for skiers who push their equipment to the limit.
