The Head Kore X 85 is an all-mountain ski designed to perform across groomed pistes and mixed snow conditions. It comes outfitted with Head’s PR 11 Black bindings, so you have a complete ski-and-binding setup straight from the box.
Thanks to its 127 / 85 / 108 sidecut at 170 cm, the Kore X 85 balances precision on hardpack with enough surface underfoot to maintain stability in softer snow. This profile aids in initiating and holding medium-radius turns, making transitions between carving on piste and dabbling off-piste feel natural without fussing over gear changes.
A turn radius of 14.8 m at the 170 cm length means the ski naturally traces medium-radius arcs, requiring less force to guide through each turn. The sidecut measurements—127 mm at the tip, 85 mm underfoot and 108 mm at the tail—define how the ski grips and releases on snow, striking a midpoint between firm edge hold and nimble maneuverability. The PR 11 Black binding features adjustable release settings, ensuring a secure connection and reliable performance tailored to your skiing style.
