Hopeless Sinner's pics from the demo showed the 102 getting spidey treatment for sure, Kendo too. Don't think he got the K108

I'm pretty stoked for the Nordica Unleashed 108. Looks like a more freestyle Enforcer. Or something similar to M-Free108. But hopefully with a length in the mid 180's...

Kid - not sure how I missed those photos. Thanks for clearing that up!

I’d be curious to understand what the tailored titanal frame carbon weave will do to the feel of the M102. It doesn’t need to be more easy going (at least in the 184 length). Maybe the shorter lengths get more manageable?

Count me in for the BC110. Curious about the new Atris. Demo'd the current ski and liked it.

The rossi's are touring skis according to him

I’m going to vinyl wrap my skis for awhile and see how it does. I’d rather a plain color than some of these designs and am not too attached to branding.

Just put a reservation on some Bent 110s. Should arrive feb 10, in Austria.

Sounds like Scarpa will have a line of alpine boots available this fall. Would love to see one model get tech fittings.

good catch - I totally brainfarted and mistook them for Unlimited. Interesting move for sure - can't wait to get more info on them.

What a time to be alive eh - lots of interesting skis launched in the 10x segment. Thanks Covid?

My guess would be addition of the reinforcement of the lower shell, much like they did with this years hawx ultra 130s

Saw a Nordica athlete on them. They look similar to an mfree108, and pretty fun. Only downside is the shame of being on a Nordica, which is essentially a detuned Blizzard. heh.

That XTD Ultra lower shell needs more stiffness, for sure. Looks like the walk mode is still the old version, which is part of the problem.

I think I bet someone the Soul 7 would be back with in 3 years. I forgot who owes me money now.

You can't kill the Pinnacle of ski design and performance.

Im more looking forward to the (presumed) fatter radius on the tips of the 3d. Would make turns even more versatile and reduce hookiness. The m6 was just as heavy as the m5, if not slightly more iirc, so it should stay just as meaty.

I think we have to wait until next year for the k108 though.

Amazed that Bode and Scarpa's new "4-Quattro" boots haven't appeared yet

As someone who owns a couple of Enforcers and MFree 108s I would have put them both in the same category…. The Enforcer is easy going but can still get after it so not sure what this lineup will bring….

Is that 191cm for the longest 110 length?

Here is a photo seems to support that for the M102.

2021 177-cm model = 26/19/24 3D radius; Sidecut = 140-102-123
2022 177-cm model = 28/18/26 3D radius; Sidecut = 142-102-124

Really curious what the Sidecut/radius tweaks are for the 184-cm model.

Is that a core construction sample of the new Unleashed line on the far left?
