2026 Head Kore X 80 Skis W/ PR 11 GW Bindings

The 2026 Head Kore X 80 with PRW 11 bindings is a lightweight all-mountain ski built for easy cruising, carving progression, and confident exploration. Sitting in the Kore family as a more approachable and forgiving option, it brings smooth edge control and versatile performance to skiers looking for comfort and control in a wide range of conditions.

Why we like it:

The Kore X 80 makes skiing feel easy. It’s light on your feet, intuitive through the turn, and surprisingly capable for a ski this approachable.

Who it's for:

Best suited for beginners to intermediate skiers who want to grow their confidence on groomers while leaving the door open for light off-trail exploration. Ideal for East Coast skiers or anyone looking for an easygoing resort cruiser.

Highlights:

A wood composite core reinforced with Graphene keeps the ski light yet stable, while the Allride Rocker adds nice versatility, and makes turn initiation a breeze. A structured UHM C base and Power Sidewall Jacket boost edge hold and durability, while the durable topsheet adds long-term protection. The result? A highly maneuverable ski that inspires confidence on and off the trail.

Things to consider:

With an 80 mm waist and softer flex, the Kore X 80 has an easygoing personality. It’s not designed for high-speed charging or tackling aggressive terrain, and is therefore best suited to skiers who prefer a more mellow day on the hill.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis run true to size. If you’re focused on maneuverability or are new to the sport, sizing down can help with control and comfort.
