Nordica Speed Machine 16.1 (2006)
More metal makes the 16.1 stiffer, heavier, and more stable than the 14.1. It also scored higher marks in the speed category. ??
Props
It
Gripes
Only the strongest skiers will be able to bend the 16.1 enough to make shorter turns. ??
Tester's Take
"Just as there are few cars in the 200-plus-mph class, there are few carvers that feel this balanced and safe at the top end."
PRICE (MSRP): $1195.00
