The 2027 Head Kore 106 TI with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings does its best work in soft snow and variable conditions. A freeride-leaning all-mountain ski, it pairs a karuba and beech core with two titanal layers and a long rockered profile to serve up float, stability, and edge grip across a wider band of conditions than its waist would suggest. We paired the Kore 106 TI with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

This is a ski that punches above its width class thanks to the karuba and beech wood core and the two titanal layers, which together keep the ski lively yet composed.

Who it's for:

Advanced skiers in deeper-snow country who want a wider daily driver with genuine off-trail chops. It shines for anyone after one ski for powder mornings, chopped-up afternoons, and the occasional groomer cruise.

Highlights:

Karuba and beech split the work in the core: the karuba sheds weight, the beech adds the stability and edge grip. Sandwiching that core between two titanal layers brings damping and torsional stiffness, and a Graphene layer piles on strength with no real weight cost. The Freeride Sandwich Cap Construction is the Kore line's calling card, marrying sandwich-style response to a slightly more forgiving cap feel. A 106 mm waist rides under a long rockered profile that pairs camber underfoot with a low-rise tip and tail, so float is there when you need it. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

This one leans toward soft snow, so it's not the best choice if your home hill is mostly groomers. For mixed conditions the narrower Kore 100 TI makes a better one-ski quiver, and if you want even more float, the Kore 112 TI is the move.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Standard sizing applies, so choose your usual length and tune from there, dropping one for tighter big-mountain lines or adding one for extra stability and float on steeps at speed.
