Skis and History:
The i.Supershape Rally is the second widest ski in Head's frontside carver lineup with a waist of 75mm in length 163cm. There's plenty of info on this site and the internet about the skis, so I won't try to rewrite a review. Keep in mind these are the 2016 skis, which are the last version Head made WITHOUT graphene. Let's just say before I bought these I borrowed a friend's pair for a run, went out and bought these, my dad tried mine for a day and then went and bought a pair. Which brings me to why I'm selling. When I purchased these after the 2016 Season they were my only ski, now I am fortunate enough to have a quiver with less of a need for a do it all ski. These skies were used approximately 30 days last season, with a mix between ice skating at Whiteface, collegiate USCSA "racing" in the southeast (the fact that I used these for both SL and GS should show how serious the racing was...), and a couple summer days at Squaw. Because of the racing many of the days were only a couple runs, so these skis have seen about 400k vertical feet total in use.

Condition/Photos:
Top Sheets: As stated above these were used for a bit of racing, so there are visible marks from gates, nothing too major but worth noting. I'd rate a 7/10 or so.

Bases:
Frankly, Southeast skiing is not kind to bases. These have been Ptexed in a couple of places, nothing remotely deep at all, but one scratch on each ski is a couple inches long. I took pictures of the worse spots after redoing the ptex and brushing the ski, but due to the lighting and clear ptex they actually look much deeper than they are. You'll notice in the post tune/wax pictures that you can't see anything.

If you want better pictures of certain areas just let me know! I'll do my best but I'm finding it hard to deal with the reflectiveness of the base and lighting...

Edges are in very good condition with no marks and a 1/3 bevel. Here is another picture showing the ski shape

Price:
First off having never sold skis online before feel free to call me out if the pricing is unfair. On the same note I am happy to link my other non-ski forum/ebay accounts where I have done over 100 online transactions as this account it new. That said considering the price I paid last year and current ones available on eBay I am asking $400 shipped to Continental U.S. to cover skis, shipping, paypal fees, and pugski donation.

Let if know if you have any questions,
Thanks!

These are different than the current iRally and very well a more versatile ski because of the shape of the tip and tail being a bit more rounded.

No such thing as unfair pricing. They either sell or they don't. Price you paid is completely immaterial; it's all about what others are willing to pay you. Since you asked, I'd say price was a little high for the age and condition of the skis. I'd expect to pay that for 16-17 demo that was cleaner on the bases than yours. My two cents, anyway.

There seems to be a glut of carve skis for sell at the moment. I'm paying 200 or less for skis & bindings in excellent shape 2-3 yrs old. Have bought 2 pair this month.

@Philpug how would you compare this version to the newest graphene one. I'm hoping to demo the 2018 on Sunday so curious to hear your thoughts.

These skis arrived a few days ago and they look great. I don't think the pictures did them justice. I took them to my mountain shop and he thought they were in great shape and didn't need anything at all.

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and other times it doesn't do the subject justice.

Head made an amazing ski with the head rally. I'm hooked.

Glad you like them!
Hmm that is weird with the pictures, guess it's not that big of a deal because they are sold, but I'll take a look. I haven't changed anything on the hosting side (used Google photos)
