The Head iSupershape Titan is appropriately named - super to ski, and quite 'titanic' in size for a piste ski, as we found on test in Kuhtai, Austria.

At 88mm underfoot the Titan is pretty wide for a piste ski, which encouraged us to venture off the sides and into the powder snow. This isn't normally something there's time for on a ski test as you want to put the ski through its paces on the terrain it's designed for, but the Titan performed far better than a piste ski should in ankle deep powder and chopped up snow, so in a way you're getting two skis for the price of one here.

Back on the piste the Titan was great fun at speed, holding well in hard turns and encouraging us to go for it, a good feature in any advanced level ski. That said, if anything it was even more responsive at slower speeds, and gave a pleasantly smooth ride at all times.

There's plenty of techy stuff in the Titan's too, including Head's KERS technology which apparently transfers extra power to the tail when pressure is applied. Taken from Formula One - we are not convinced it makes any different, although saying that, they do feel very powerful at the end of the turn, so maybe there is.

To conclude, we wouldn't necessarily say 'buy the Titan and you've got one ski for all things', if you're a committed piste skier who fancies the occasional foray into the side country, it may be worth the once over despite the fact that Head market it generally as an on-piste ski.
