The KORE 85 W is a high-performance freeride ski with a piste-oriented character and an ultra-lightweight construction. HEAD's focus on weight reduction does not mean that the ski compromises on performance—in fact, the materials used reduce weight without weakening performance. HEAD incorporates super-light graphene in the tip and tail, which saves weight and allows for a sensible redistribution of materials. The lightweight yet stiff karuba wood core is encased in a triaxial carbon fabric, providing the KORE 85 W with stability and edge hold. The newly developed top sheet adds an extra layer of durability.
