Product Spotlight: Head KORE Collection

First introduced in 2016, the KORE quickly became the most successful product launch in HEAD's history. Since then, HEAD has been continually refining and expanding the series. The 2021/22 KORE collection features two different constructions, new lengths, a beveled top edge and additional carbon layers for the lightest, most versatile line-up yet.

New constructions and lengths to optimize your kit

The new Kore series has been designed to meet a range of different needs. There are now two different constructions available, depending on whether you prefer to stick to the groomed or spend more time in the backcountry. There's a stiffer and narrower platform for when you're racking up your piste-kilometer count, and a slightly softer, more agile and wider design that's tuned for unprepared terrain. New lengths have also been added, ensuring that every Kore fan is offered the perfect mix between agile performance and stability. These new designs and lengths go a long way towards finding the perfect setup. Both constructions feature a new beveled top edge,  which increases durability while also giving the skis a modern look.

Karuba wood core, poplar, Graphene and carbon layers

A variety of design innovations have helped the KORE collection achieve its new lightweight profile. The standard topsheet material has been ditched in favor of a lighter polyester fleece, while the use of Graphene—the strongest, lightest material known to man—over the entire ski achieves optimum weight distribution while reducing weight. The result is a thinner profile that increases buoyancy in powder and improves turnability. The high torsional stiffness and excellent stability provided by multiple carbon layers provide the skier with precise control in any terrain. Last but not least, the Karuba and poplar wood core gives the ski its liveliness and character.
