TEST: 170cm Nordica Spitfire

After testing the model derived from the World Cup in measures "long" (found on test here), this time we put the blades on the snow of the Italian house Racecarver

What model is: How
racecarver said that is a nod to the GS skis and has a structure suitable for a wide audience of skiers and is available in size 154 cm and 162 cm designed for women and 170 cm and 178 cm for the male.

who thought
Forget the hardness of the skis under FIS and also the hardness of certain racerver. This is a ski designed to entertain a large audience to entertain skiers and Nordic intends to take some liberties on the track and ski with confidence on any slope.
Skiing is centered as viewed from this perspective : appears to be the one step lower than the GS ski shop and more importantly can be chosen by all those who do not yet feel ready for a true GS and want something softer. How's

:
striking from the first curved structure very light. Especially the spatula, large enough and well planted on the ground, turns out to be easy to handle and, of course, light. This does not mean that in normal use, the ski keeps wobbling or trajectories, in fact, means that helps maintain a good parallelism of the legs and forgive many mistakes. In certain situations can almost make the skier to ski better than what is really capable, or is this impression that.

The corner entry is in fact the easiest try ever, has been on the edges. To tell the truth the whole arc of the curve is pulled effortlessly and without hesitation until the end.

Queues are slightly more rigid, but would be nice if they helped a bit 'more in the closure of the curve will be the fault of the sidecut than the structure but at the end of the run we feel, Sometimes, unsafe, and once again, "light" and you may often go a bit 'straight.

The ideal soil of this ski are the average speed and average steep slopes. If cornered, the real black or pulled on the lines too, but problems arise which was to be expected from the ease with which you ran the curves for normal gaits: the precision becomes lower and the feeling of security and contact with the soil decreases.

is a cross-country skiing as an excellent can very quickly find the limit.
Not to worry, but the standards to which we have used other high-end products are a step higher.

cortoraggio is, strangely, very easy on the steep slopes mean while, an accomplice as forces larger, slightly more challenging, but we can not say that it is difficult to conduct tight corners, being also static bending curve (to the extent 170cm) of only 14 meters.

The verdict: If
is part of the ski for the real target is to use a ski extremely focused and understand the policy of Nordica skis for those who want a tough, there is the GS and SL Shop. For those who want something less challenging, or want to approach for the first time in a ski that looks like, the Spitfire is: do not curse when the slopes are crowded, will follow you when you go slow for you to follow the children or their wives / husbands are a beginner, when you inevitably keep a pedaling speed. In short, a cross-country "masterstroke" in the sense that it is nice in many situations and, in spite of others, when the rate goes down, you can always have fun.

When the track will free you can give vent to all your iniquity, and even with some mistakes, because you'll enjoy skiing there asseconderà.
