Nordica SUV 12.1 (2006)

The X-Balance System (standard on all Nordica models) distributes pressure evenly throughout the ski during a turn. On the 12.1, it makes edging and pressuring adjustments easy to make from any stance.??

Props

A predictable, forgiving carver that likes speed.??

Gripes

Tough to initiate turns at slower speeds. The X-Balance machinery seems to kick in at medium velocity.??

Tester's Take

"The 12.1 will take you over the ridge from Bachelor

PRICE (MSRP): $895.00
