The Kore series all have -11ish mounts

Wonder if they’ll bring back the Hammer/Thrasher cabrio boots, still see Jesper on them and Evan Mceachran had em on for his instabanger. Those things skied (and weighed) like a tank, at least the 130s.

It seems like they missed the mark with their freestyle line. Tried making park sticks when we really wanted a twintip Kore line

Their park line hasn’t changed in years as it’s just been cosmetic changes to top sheets but the previous freeride series to the Kore was the Flight series that were all twin tip skis with mounts in the -3cm to -5cm range. Had multiple pairs of the Venturi 95 and Collective 105 and they were very fun skis. Heavy for their width though and the turning radius was too short for higher speed stability.
They weren’t big sellers as many traditional skiers didn’t want a heavy, forward mounted twins with boring graphics. The polar opposite Kore series have been huge sellers for Head but they aren’t playful or fun to ski.

Like K2 will do with the Mindbender based Reckoning twin tips, Head could make some fun to ski freeride twins again without much difficulty I think.

Exactly what I'm hoping their doing

Are you saying the revamped factory line of K2 skis (poacher, marksman, catamaran) for '21 we keep hearing about is more or less twinned out Mindbenders? Or did I read that completely wrong.

Edit: Read thru the '21 gear rumors thread and answered my own question.

As you saw then in the 2021 gear rumours it looks like the shape of the pictured skis is more similar to the shape of the Mindbender series which is a VERY GOOD sign! The Mindbender series(and new Ikonic series) is the first time in years K2 has had “reference skis” that compete with the best out there at many widths. So, it shouldn’t be too hard to use all the knowledge learned in making the Mindbender series and transfer that to a twin tip ski that will vastly outperform the current twins when it comes to stability and carving performance yet still be playful and fun. Think the new K2 twins will be game changers for them.

Head has gone the opposite way from their old playful, poppy and fun free ride skis. Now they are very light, stiff skis that are easy to ski but not really fun or playful and get easily bucked around in crud with that light weight. A ski kinda in between the old Flight and Kore series might gain my interest though.

the K2 Reckoning will have 2 skis based on the Mindbender. They are replacing the Marksman and the Catamaran. I've seen photos of them on a sheet provided to shops
