The 2026 Head Kore 106 Ti has been stripped back of what wasn't needed and further refined to make it one of the most versatile skis ever in the lineup especially for skiers who get to enjoy softer snow more often than not. Still continuing the trend of getting wider overall, but not as much, relatively, in the shovel, the Kore 106 is a soft-snow hunter and big line killer. This ski brings metallic power to a wider-bodied format, and it works quite well. It's maneuverable, mobile, and strong?there's no excess flexion in this ski. While it's still softer than the outgoing 105, the flexier 106 pairs better with softer and deeper snow, especially from a playfulness standpoint. While carving back on trail is fine, it's not exceptional, as that's what the narrower skis in this line are for. It feels like with the increase of flotation and taper, there's an equal loss in energy and kick out of the ski in a turn. There's no issue with smoothness and power here, though, as the dual-metal laminate certainly does its job.
The construction of the new unisex lineup features a blend of karuba and beech in the wood core. This is an interesting mix, combining a light and peppy karuba with a denser and more stable beech. They're definitely going for the mixing of attributes here, with a firmer race feel in the beech and a shiftier and surfier note in the karuba. As far as the metal, two titanal sheets stretch almost the whole ski. There's a visual indicator in the sidewalls of the ski as it transitions to non-metal at the tips and in the tails. The titanal laminates end up doing the lion's share of the powering, while the graphene laminate brings back some of that outgoing Kore quickness and precision. Either way, the skis that we were able to measure are not particularly heavy, as light weight is still a big part of Kore's identity. They're certainly more flexible than before, as skis with metal don't have to be so longitudinally stiff to create performance-they rely more on the damp and powerful feel to satisfy the needs of more advanced and aggressive skiers. Just below the top sheets of the new skis is a layer of Flax, increasing durability as well as adding another layer of damping material. This construction is similar along all the unisex Kore skis, but the shape and profile changes for each.
