NORDICA's OFFICIAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
"Built for advanced to expert skiers who love to lay down arcs on groomed trails, the Spitfire RB (Race Bridge) is the highest-performance carving ski in the collection. Built much a like a race ski, its wood core, which is reinforced with two sheets of metal, provides a damp ride and lots of rebound out of each turn. The ski’s shape allows it to bust out big sweeping turns or snap off shorter-radius arcs. An oversized SL tip shape allows for quick and easy turn initiation while the GS waist and tail enable smooth and powerful transitions from long to short turns. The carbon race bridge in the tip and tail makes the ski lightweight while also increasing torsional stability, allowing for excellent edge hold on even the iciest surfaces. And to tie it all together, the new Recoil Power Plate makes for a remarkably smooth flex while increasing power and stability. Choose the Spitfire RB if you’re looking for a fully loaded frontside ski with no speed limit.
"The entire line of Doberman Spitfire skis is designed for skiers demanding high-performance, on-piste precision. Built using three years of studies and on-snow testing, the skis are more fluid through the arc, smoother, and faster thanks to a number of new technologies. That includes the new Recoil Power Plate, which allows the ski to flex naturally, thereby delivering a livelier ride. All of the skis in the line are modeled after our World Cup race skis, but each Dobermann Spitfire is specially designed to meet the demands of a variety of abilities and needs. Whether you’re a masters racer, PSIA instructor, or just a skier that loves carving up the frontside, a ski from the Dobermann family is your best bet.
