Nordica Enforcer 100 Skis 2024

The Enforcer is one of the best, and most highly regarded, 100mm skis on the market and the updates on the current generation only elevated its status. It will fly down hard packed runs with the grip of a top piste ski, it can blast through any snow condition and still feel nimble and floaty in soft snow. A Carbon Chassis keeps the weight down whilst also making it smooth and damp; True Tip further lightens the ski by getting rid of heavy ABS and extending the wood core right in to the tip. This is a ski known for it's power and stability, and now also it's playfulness.

Terrain Type & Ability Level

Terrain Type
Anything and anywhere, could be blasting down fresh groomed pistes or smashing through skied-out old snow at top speed, the Enforcer 100 is a versatile ski. It’s width ensures plenty of float on fresh snow days, and it’s shape means easy handling when the conditions or terrain are tricky. The construction gaurantees grip and power; the tech makes it more playful and even more responsive than earlier versions.

Skier Type
Confident all mountain skiers who want a wider ski for stability and float when they get away from the pistes, whilst still spending time clocking miles on marked runs too. It’ll pair up super-well with a hybrid tour binding like a Shift, Kingpin or Duke PT for getting further away from the lifts.

Overview

Shape
It’s 100mm underfoot and, with the firm construction, this kind of dimension will plough through anything, no matter how cut up or heavy the conditions. The width works well with the tip taper and early rise, plus the slight tail rocker, for effortless handling in powder. The relatively turny 17.3m radius (179cm) ensures it feels quick in a carve and that it loves a run down firm snow as much as soft.

Rocker
All Mountain Rocker uses a 30/50/20 split of rocker/camber/rocker across the tip, main body and tail of the ski. This gives effortless handling in all conditions as the rocker in the tip aids float and initiation, the camber provides grip and bite on firmer snow, and the tail rocker allows for easy turn release and control in tricky snow.

Core
The powerful Energy 2 Ti core uses a full wood core with Titanal sheets above and below it. The metal dampens vibrations and improves stability, the wood adds energy and response. The new True Tip Technology extends the core into the tip and lightens the overall weight as well as increasing manoeuvrability.

Construction
Sidewalls offer the best in energy transmission and edge grip; the new Carbon Chassis reduces weight and increases stability.

Key Features

Carbon Chassis
Nordica’s carbon-reinforced chassis weighs about 35% less than traditional glass. Full-length carbon strips not only reduce the chassis’ weight, they also increase the ski’s strength and stability. The result is a stronger, lighter, more stable ski that’s also more playful and versatile.

True Tip Technology
By trimming the amount of heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area, with a taper that further reduces weight, Nordica were able to increase playfulness and manoeuvrability of the ski. At the same they have maintained the classic powerful and stable feel that Enforcers are known for.

EB tester’s comments: Luke (Buying Team) I’ve had some good days on the Enforcer in the past and found it a bit of a charger, great through mixed soft snow. The new one still feels like the same powerful ski, just a bit lighter which my legs thanked me for.
