Performance

The Head Kore 99 offers incredible performance thanks to its lightweight design. Where it excels the most is stability. Whether you’re coursing through bends or going at high-speed down a slope, these skis feel planted to the ground and give you the confidence to go faster. These Kore skis also have excellent responsiveness and can carver their way down a mountain without breaking a sweat. The Head Kore skis are excellent for intermediate and advanced users who want to go fast. Another set with outstanding performance is the Elan Amphibio 84Ti.

Design

These mountain skis have an exceptional design mixing traditional materials with advanced technology. They have a lightweight Karuba core with Graphene Koroyd Carbon Sandwich Cap construction. Graphene is the thinnest and strongest material known to man and makes the Kore 99 super-strong. These skis come in a wide range of sizes to suit different users and have a turning radius of 17 meters. Compared to many other skis, the Kore 99 has an understated look with subtle branding and dark colors. Check out the Rossignol Experience 88 for a terrific alternative.

Value

These skis are quite expensive and might have increased in price since last year. However, they can justify the price thanks to their fantastic quality and premium quality materials. Graphene is the strongest material in the world and doesn’t come cheap. In addition to the incredible construction, these skis do well on the slopes. Thanks to their light weight they effortlessly glide down the mountain and also offer incredible stability. Overall, they offer excellent value for money, just like the K2 Pinnacle 95

Atomic Vantage 97 TI Wrap Up
