The Head Kore 117 with Attack 14 GW binding is a freeride ski package built for exploring off-piste terrain and handling variable snow conditions. It comes ready to ski, pairing a wide-waisted ski with a binding that supports performance-oriented skiers.
The ski’s 117 mm waist offers good flotation in deep snow while the 145/117/129 mm sidecut provides a balance between stability at speed and maneuverability in tight spots. With a 24.6 m turn radius (at 184 cm), it leans toward longer, drawn-out turns, giving you confidence when charging open slopes. The included Attack 14 GW binding delivers solid power transfer and holds up to a DIN release setting of 14, making it suitable for strong skiers who want security in aggressive turns.
Sidecut refers to the ski’s width at the tip, waist and tail—differences in these measurements influence how the ski initiates and holds a turn. A longer turn radius like 24.6 m means the ski prefers sweeping, smooth arcs rather than quick pivots. The “GW” in the binding name stands for GripWalk, a sole interface that combines safe downhill performance with easier walking grip when you’re skinning or bootpacking.
