Philpug: Some say Head is taking a big risk changing the immensely popular Kore 93Ti; I look at it the other way, Head would be taking a bigger risk resting on its laurels another year. The Kore 93 was one of the reference skis in this category, and deservedly so. It was light, playful, easy to ski, and even for an advanced charger, it performed well. So what's not to like? Why fix what wasn’t broken?
The Kore 93 was not broken, but the armour was tarnished and dented, its age and shortcomings started to show. The target on the Kore's back got bigger and other skis started hitting it, so Head fought back. It sent the entire Kore series to the gym and while the ski got more toned, stronger, and with more pop. The new Kore 93 feels like a better ski without losing what its followers grew accustomed to.

Insider tip: Don’t get hung up on the numbers, the only ski that is 93 underfoot is the longest length. The new 7cm increments put fewer skiers between sizes.
