Best ski 2014
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
“An excellent surprise” as one of our testers told us. The Head REV 78, which manages to combine genuine accessibility with great performance, is a real success story. It has extremely wide scope of action and is perfect to help skiers to make technical progress (the key criteria in this category).
Review: Pros
- A pure pleasure for beginners and intermediate riders, the REV 78 is a highly intuitive ski, very easy to handle, well-balanced and safe. Turning requires little effort, and the ski skids on request. Beginners and intermediate skiers will find this ski reassuring and easy to handle.
Review: Cons
- Nothing to report
