Head MYA 6 review 2014
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
While the Mya 5 did well in the Intermediate category, the Mya 6 was disappointing in the Advanced category, where, despite its unquestionable accessibility, it lost points for its overall lack of performance and insufficient comfort in carving.
Review: Pros
- The Mya 6 is an easy-to-access and comfortable ski that won't take any time at all to get used to. It's remarkably comfortable when carving turns, especially on soft snow.
Review: Cons
- The testers noted a degree of difficulty initiating turns and carving. The ski lacks decisiveness and balance in push-off and tends to 'disconnect'.

Manufacturer's remarks
MYA 6 is the all-mountain ski for women that can be enjoyed both on-piste and off-piste. The ski is very responsive thanks to its 3.0 technology and the addition of a rounded tail and rocker that will delight riders wishing to venture out on all types of piste. Its citrus colour and 3D topsheet are going to win over more than one!
