It’s commonly known and widely accepted that a titanal-powered, narrow waisted ski is the quintessential recreational race carver, and the Nordica Spitfire DC 80 Pro Skis are no exception to this rule. Brand new this season as a complement to the Dobermann series, the Spitfire lineup emerges as Nordica’s latest take on high-speed frontside performance and enlists the expertise of Nordica’s Double Core Technology to accomplish this. In sandwiching two layers of wood between two layers of titanal, the Spitfire DC 80 achieves an unrivaled balance between steadfast edge hold and uncompromised stability. When combined with a rubber Pulse Core interior, the Spitfire DC 80 becomes one of the quietest around and features an exquisitely damp ride that keeps vibration and chatter in check, no matter the speed. As a result, this high-speed carver boasts some of the most precise turning performance around and thus appeals to expert skiers eager for a race-like feel in a wider package. Though an 80mm waist doesn’t add much in terms of versatility, the Spitfire DC 80’s ability to hold up in softer and more variable conditions is a direct result of this generous shape. With an undeniable air of aggression and a touch of all-conditions expertise, the Nordica Spitfire DC 80 Pro Skis are bound to set forth with an impeccable taste for all things powerful, ambitious, and steep.
