Head Kore 93 review 2018

AWARD
Best Accessibility!

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

An excellent surprise in the 2018 review, the Kore 93 designed by Head impressed the PROSKILAB reviewers and deserves its place among the top skis on the market. The model has no qualms about concentrating on accessibility in an area in which it's very popular. Overall behavior both on and off piste is good, and it also has a playful nature that’s great fun. The ski is globally easy-going, and doesn’t need too much physical effort to be steered, whether on the groomed trails or in freeride. Off-piste, its tolerance, agility and transition to crud was impressive. In our view, the Kore 93 is the ideal ski for intermediary to very good, light to medium build riders, who want to discover the fun of off-piste. More experienced or heavier riders will probably prefer a different model.

  • Versatile
  • Agile off-piste
