2027 Head Kore 93 Ti W

For 2027, the Head Kore 93 Ti W gets a graphic update but returns otherwise unchanged. The Kore 93 Ti W is a fun-loving all-mountain ski with versatility to spare and a ton of damping. The amazing thing here is that Head is able to keep it pretty light despite the dual-metal laminate. That metal brings this 93 into a top-tier level in terms of power, edge grip, and overall versatility. This allows the ski to go back and forth between on trail skiing and more adventurous terrain with ease. Whether you’re sticking to groomers or want to mix it up in the bumps and trees, these skis will help you get where you need to go at a top level of fun. With a shape that lands in the mid-90's we're looking at a great option for a one-ski quiver for mixing carving and off-trail adventure.

Head uses a good amount of innovation and sophistication in the construction of the skis. Built with a blend of poplar and PET in the core, these skis are ready to rip. The PET stringer is composed of recycled plastic, which sounds weird, but when you see and feel the finished product, it’s actually quite impressive. In addition to this innovative approach, the skis also implement two sheets of titanal for power, edge grip, and damping. They also use graphene to lighten and enliven the skis while the flax-based topsheet brings another level of silence to the mix and adds durability. Tester Angela Mowbray notes that "The Head Kore 93Ti W is a solid ski. I made some sweet long radius turns with speed and it felt totally grounded and responsive. The Kore 93Ti W is perfect for any all-mountain exploration. It turns easily and cruises with speed."

We really like the usefulness and versatility of the footprint in this ski. At 93 mm underfoot, this ski is in the sweet spot for blurring all-mountain and freeride. You could make effective arguments that it’s more of an on-trail benefit, but that would discount the versatile nature of the ski especially in bumps and trees. Sure, it’s great on a smooth groomer, but this Kore 93 also holds up great when the conditions degrade, and the terrain gets sketchy. With a 14.7-meter turn radius, these skis are pretty crisp in nature. Tester Mar Kuhnel states: "I liked the ski, it was a little hard to tell what was going on because the snow surface was so crummy. I was pleased with how stable it felt given. It’s a bit shorter than what I would normally choose for length. That shortness made it quite maneuverable, with the wide point moved so far back it was pretty playful with a nice combination of stable, maneuverable, easy to turn."

There's an interesting range of skier here because of the mix of construction methods. The dual-metal laminate puts this ski more in the advanced and expert realm, but it’s still not overly demanding. Skiers who are used to having the ski do a lot of the work in terms of energy and rebound may want a little more, but if you’re comfortable putting more effort in to get back maximum results, you’ll love the Kore 93 Ti W. It's one of those skis that you don't really have to think about, you just go.
