Head Kore X 80 - 2023

The KORE-X 80 skis are all-mountain skis that are built for advanced or expert riders who want an athletic feel on the slopes in all conditions. The KORE-X boasts many of the same traits as the other skis in the race-inspired KORE-X range, but it comes with a waist width of 90mm. This footprint is slightly wider than the other models in the range, and as such these skis provide that extra stability when charging over crud, slush, and cut-up pistes.

The KORE-X range is all about carving and speed, the KORE-X 80 is built with the same top-end construction as the rest of the range. Features have been drawn from Head’s world cup race skis so you can confidently push the skis into fast and powerful turns. Unlike narrower pure carving skis these skis will be able to handle variable conditions, they won't catch and throw you out of the turn, enabling you to ride smoothly to the end of a perfect arc.

On the inside sits a graphene-reinforced full wood core construction which features Head’s unique Sandwich Cap Construction. When the ski bends and vibrates, it is enhanced with a new top sheet shape—creating a huge bandwidth for a variety of skills, while the Karuba wood core added a smoother, more stable experience. Structuring with the UHM C Base, the KORE-X 80 is built to accommodate all-terrain whether stepping on the gas or cruising around the mountain.

These are stiff skis, as a result, they respond well to being pushed! the more you put into this ski the more you will get out of it in return. we would recommend them for advanced to expert skiers who have experience carving and can confidently take on the whole hill.
