2026 Head Kore 100 Ti Skis with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings
The 2026 Head Kore 100 Ti with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings marks a major evolution in the Kore series, bringing a newly redesigned shape, updated profile, and construction with the addition of titanal metal into the mix. This ski blends power and precision with a freeride-inspired feel, making it one of the most versatile and universally appealing all-mountain options in the advanced-to-expert category. With increased edge hold and stability alongside playful maneuverability, the Kore 100 Ti is built to excel across a wide range of snow conditions and terrain. We paired the Kore 100 Ti with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.
Why we like it:
By introducing metal into the Kore 100 Ti, Head has brought this ski into true one-ski-quiver territory. It’s capable and damp enough for powerful, high-speed skiing, yet stays lighter and more user-friendly than other metal-laden skis. Whether you're carving groomers or dancing through trees, this ski keeps pace.
Who it's for:
Ideal for advanced and expert skiers looking for a directional freeride ski with a blend of strength and agility. If you're seeking a ski that delivers confidence and control in variable snow without giving up maneuverability, the Kore 100 Ti hits the mark.
Highlights:
Two full sheets of titanal are the foundation of the Kore 100 Ti, giving the ski excellent power and dampness for aggressive skiing in soft or firm snow. A tapered tip, long turn radius, and wide tail enhance its off-piste drift and float while preserving high-speed stability. Head incorporates Flax fibers for added dampness and control, and retains Graphene laminates for precision and quickness. This combination brings together the best traits of the previous Kore with a more damp, metal-infused feel that elevates performance across the board. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission
Things to consider:
Skiers who loved the ultra-light carbon-heavy feel of the older Kore models might find the new metal version a departure from that profile. It’s more grounded and damp, relying less on stiffness and more on smoothness and vibration control.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These skis run true to size. Choose based on your height, weight, and skiing style—go longer for added float and stability, or shorter for quicker turns and maneuverability.
