What Head says about the Kore 105
“As the ultimate lightweight freeride ski, the KORE 105 has versatility for all mountain adventures. The new KORE construction reduces weight without sacrificing performance, thanks to a combination of Graphene, Karuba wood and multi layers of carbon. The sandwich sidewall construction adds responsiveness on hardpack snow and tip and tail rocker provides flotation for deep powder days. HEAD’s new topsheet shape adds durability for hard-charging freeride skiers.”
Flex Pattern
Here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the Kore 105:
Tips: 9
Shovels: 8.5-9
In Front of Toe Piece: 9-9.5
Underfoot: 9.5
Behind the Heel Piece: 9.5
Tails: 8.5-9
This current Kore 105 feels identical to the flex pattern of the 21/22 Kore 105.
