NEW 2026 HEAD Kore 106 Ti Skis - 170cm

The 2026 HEAD Kore 106 Ti marks a significant structural shift for one of the most popular lightweight freeride skis on the market. For the first time, HEAD has integrated a Titanal (Ti) layer into the Kore's specialized construction. Historically known for using Graphene, Karuba wood, and Carbon to maintain a featherweight feel, the addition of the metal laminate for 2026 addresses the primary critique of the previous generation: tip chatter and stability in variable snow. At 170cm, the Kore 106 Ti is a "finesse-meets-power" tool for advanced skiers. The Graphene-fused Tip and Tail keeps the weight centered underfoot, while the new Ti layer provides the dampening needed to blast through crud and hold a steady edge on firm transitions. This is a high-performance, directional freeride ski that excels in deep powder and technical off-piste terrain without feeling like a heavy "anchor" on your feet.
