The read

A frontside-leaning all-mountain ski rated for advanced skiers, the KORE X 85 LYT-PR sits narrower than most all-mountain skis in the catalog and carries a shorter-than-median turn radius, favoring quick, nimble arcs on groomed terrain with capacity for bumps and light off-piste. Its graphene-reinforced karuba core and rocker-camber-rocker profile deliver a responsive, lightweight feel with easy turn entry and release. It suits advanced skiers seeking a quick-turning, versatile frontside ski that can venture beyond the groomers.

Specs & what they mean

What the KORE X 85 LYT-PR's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 14.8-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a karuba wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,870 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 85 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
