Kore 106 Ti | 2026

The new 2026 Head Kore 106 Ti has been completely revamped with a clarified purpose. While the previous generation focused on lightweight design, this iteration features a more substantial core, completely redefining how this ski performs.
The new Kore 106 Ti is noticeably more powerful and now targets directional off-piste skiers who want stability and energy retention. This ski uses Titanal around a karuba and beech wood core with a flax-fiberglass laminate. This update provides remarkable dampening when tackling everything from firm snow and chop to soft bumps. Its stability when laying on the gas pedal is a significant departure from earlier generations, where the formerly light graphene core was softer and suffered at high speeds.

However, this redesigned core’s improved composure can create challenges at lower speeds where a stiff core does not easily pivot. Head addresses this by placing the ski’s major contact point higher up on the tip and tail’s rocker section than you would traditionally find on 106 skis. This allows the ski to pivot and snap at slower speeds when skiing more neutrally, but when leaning it over on edge the ski immediately transitions into a stable beast.

The Kore 106 Ti provides an effective balance between power and a lively, responsive feel. Our testers found this ski to be one of the most composed rides in the 106 mm category. Head has transformed what was once a lightweight, accessible platform into a capable big-mountain tool for technically proficient skiers who value stability across conditions.
