Product details:

The KORE 87 is the ideal ski for piste days and trips into the backcountry, offering outstanding performance in a super-lightweight package. HEAD consistently puts the focus on weight savings. That doesn't mean the ski is too soft - on the contrary, performance is improved by saving unnecessary weight. HEAD installs lightweight Graphene in tip & tail to achieve optimal weight distribution. The light but stiff Karuba wood in the core is enclosed by a triaxial carbon fabric, which makes the ski torsionally stiff and stable. The Sandwich Sidewall construction and the new Top Sheet complete the package of the KORE 87.

• The Kore skis now come with a karuba / poplar wood core, whereas the previous skis were reportedly purely karuba.
• The skis get two layers of carbon fiber (reportedly one more layer than the previous skis).
• This should help reduce top sheet chipping.
