I’ll be on the new 191 cm Nordica 115 Free tomorrow. I’ll report back
Sent from my iPhone using TGR Forums
Alrighty guys, here's the details on the new Dynastar MLine:
MPro: directional, metal laminates, shape inspired by the Pro Rider 105 but with a touch of early rise. MPro 90, 99, and 105 (105 is the current Pro Rider with a new graphic, 192 only just like this year)
MFree: progressive, twin, shape inspired by the current Proto. MFree 108, 118
MTour: lightweight touring options using the MPro shape. MTour 99, 88.
They all use a new "hybrid core" which has been used in the Speed Zone skis, basically a PU milled composite with Poplar core. Very connected and smooth on snow feel.
Whole line was designed with the simple intention of choosing your model based on your ski style, and also how clean the Lange line has been (RS-technical/on trail, RX/LX-all mountain, XT: Tour) for shops to understand and sell.
I think the Alien has a vastly different fit that the current F1 (narrower), so this isn't the good news I wanted. I wanted same fit, 110 flex (currently listed at 95), and more upright stance. 100 gram savings would've been sufficient with those changes.
Waiting for more info...
Anyone heard anything about new airbags?
Lengths:
MPro 105: 192 (yes, will be available in the US, limited like this year)
MPro 99: 170, 178, 186
MPro 90: 170, 178, 186
MFree 118: 180, 189
MFree 108: 172, 182, 192
MTour 99: 162, 170, 178, 186
Mtour 88: 156, 164, 172, 180
So no more legend series above the 88x, if at all, I assume?
Is the MTour going to be just a lighter version of the MPro or will it be an entirely different ski?
That MFree 108 is mighty appealing in a 192. Same with the MTour 99 and MPRo 90
Turn radius on MTour 99?
Also reupping my request for info on F20 Mammut airbags, if anyone has seen that catalog.
No more Legend, no more 5 point, totally new. Think Pro Rider for the MPro, Proto for the MFree as far as shape. MTour is same as MPro, just lighter.
Radius
MPro 99 186-22m, MPro 90 186-20m
MFree 108 192- 20m
Smaller radius for the smaller lengths, obviously.
That’s too bad on the no more 5 point. Was really hoping for a MPro x106. Metal, higher turn radius. The. X106 is such a fun ski but a beefy one would have been amazing.
M-pro 99 seems like the ski I've been wanting for quite a while. A bit bummed there's no 108 or 116 version but I'm sure if this line does well there will be more
Hnnnhhhhhh those all sound amazing.
Perhaps 3 new skis coming in next year....
MPro90 186 w/ CAST
MFree 108 192 w/ CAST
MTour 99 178 w/tech binder for longer missions.
That'll make it a Dynastar-heavy quiver...
2x LP105s, 1x Proto Factory, 1x MPro 90, 1x LFree 108, 1x LTour 99
Will the MPro across the board have metal in them as well?
jackattack and I will both have 192 M-free 108 available for maggot pleasure.
Impressive collection from Dynastar, lean but sensible.
I think folks will be pretty impressed with the M-Pro 99. I skied an iteration in the 178 and was pretty stoked on it. I’d articulate it as a modernized Legend Pro: rocker and taper in the tip; evolved construction, but still damp, stable and smooths out the crud.
The PU hybrid core is pretty noticeable.
I’m in for a preorder 105....

Since we have the right peeps chiming in...how about the Lange XT3? Have they managed to beef up the spine and give it more rearward (and forward) support? I wouldn't mind if it gained some weight.
this...
Found this French ski shops Facebook page, they have some nice videos of the new Dynastar skis. https://www.facebook.com/pg/labausport/videos/
No 105 in a 184 to 186? The 108 is a twin? Shame.
That Salomon boot looks really damn nice. Almost like that Fischer Ranger 130. Maybe it does have some good ramp angle? Is that an Alpine sole block?
Sorry, I can't change 30 years of muscle memory. I'm weird like that.
Hope they put some better loctite on the nut and bolt that acts as the pivot for the walk lever. A buddies fell out up on Shasta, the heavy ass baling wire and Skeletool I keep in my repair kit finally came in handy! Especially since the F1 won't have the dyneema cord to act as a leash if the bolt comes out.
that's been a known issue for the 3 years the RS has been out,
although the later versions addressed it - don't think it was necessarily a lack of loctite but that the original bolt was a tad too short and didn't engage the threads of the nyloc nut fully.
not too difficult to put some loctite in yourself , prophylactically
may as well dab a bit on the of the other fasteners while you're at it.
then you can spend 75c at the hardware store for a 10 gram spare nut & bolt to put in your kit
These things are awesome. Closest thing I’ve skied since I sold my Gunsmokes. They ski light, aren’t hooky, and are very maneuverable. I’m in for a pair as soon as I can get my hands on my own.

I hate hearing this since I purchased a brand new pair of 193 Rustler 11s for my easy going ski that will replace my destroyed Gunsmokes...! The number of great skis coming out is borderline overwhelming...!

No, Nordica changed the layup and the core. I did not like the 191 Enforcer Pro, the rep May have to pry his 115 Frees out of my cold dead hands.

I’m beginning to agree with this. I liked a bunch of the recent pow skis, but nothing just clicked like these 115 Frees have. I’m not one to do tricks, but these made me feel like I could start trying stunts cause I feel like I can do anything with them ever.

What's your source on this? Whoever's answering questions on the Nordica website disagrees.Attachment 310746
