Nordica Enforcers - TGR-Enough for Their Own Thread

[Fishskisurf]

Can you see if they have a 191 E110?

It’s as if all you guys forgot about PTEX1 and that he is a Nordica dealer…

[DoubleBogey]

I’ve been a lurker for a bit, if I’m thinking of the right guy doesn’t he usually do something in the spring?

Yeah, he hooked me up with a pair of last year's 110!

He does a spring clearance sale, but he can also give you a great price year round.

Corbett’s website is pretty good for accurate stock numbers and doesn’t list a 191cm Enforcer 110 for very doubtful they have it.
Did just see this deal out of Utah for a 191cm and even have an Enforcer 115 listed too.

Just saw the 24-25 Nordica catalog and the enforcer 110 is gone
Other enforcers have dropped a mm ie the 100 is now a 99

I like the new graphics on the 104. It's such a solid, versatile ski. I may add a pair back to the mix for next year.

[SnowMachine]

I and a few others (I think @snowmachine) found it took a few days on the Hotshots for the skis to click... took me 3 maybe 4 days, then loved them. But I was tee'd up to catch and release them pretty quick.
FWIW I have a 110Enforcer in a 191 and a 189 Hotshot, I find utility in each to warrant keeping both in the quiver, love them both.
The price tag is steep and I figure they won't make it to the spring sales period, but fanboy'ing over the all black E110's this year, very tempted to grab a pair esp if this is the last run.

I REALLY like my Hotshot. I do wish they made a 186-ish length. I'm not sure I need the 189 in that spot in my quiver, but I'd like to try it. It's the ski I know I can grab and have a good day on in everything except the deepest snow. The E110 was very similar but a tad more businesslike.

If it came found to having only one ski, the E110 would win out over the Hotshot, but I have pow sticks and my tendency on a pow day is to let my skis run, so I like a longer, wider ski than my 185 E110 was.

I don't know what happened to this thread but it is back.

[Bandit Man]

I noticed it was gone and so did Beder. He asked if I deleted it. I don’t recall deleting it, but who knows as the forums has been wonky for me the past few weeks. Beder sought the help of the Admins. Looks like that did something. Maybe he can add his two cents.

[Bandit Man]

Whatever the story is, I’m intrigued to hear more about the changes for 2025. A bit more rocker in the tail and addition of rubber elastomer seems like two things I would like in the revised 100/99.

[Beder]

Thanks Danno for bringing this thread back.

Thorough discussion from Ski Essentials guys on the 2025 Enforcers.

89, 94, 99 reduced tip rocker and increased tail rocker. The 104 gets REDUCED tail rocker to make it more directional and more like the others. Some of you will hate this I'm sure.
The 110 is going away so if you love that one better email Ptex right now.

Interesting their firm snow front side skis are getting more tail rocker and the more soft snow oriented 104 is getting less.

It is odd to reduce the tail rocker on the 104. Seems like they are trying to differentiate between Enforcers and Unleashed to a greater degree? Seems that is why they are killing the E110. But who really understands how Euro ski designers think?

I have often wondered if Nordica/Volkl/Blizzard are influenced by what the others are doing, and who might lead and who follows.
Enforcer 88/Kendo/Brahma have for years been very similar skis.

[Tony911]

Gearhub in Fernie has 1 pair of E110 in 191 left, I got the other one.
I got a 30% off sale a while ago that isn't there now but maybe they will do something.
$1000 Canadian, not sure what that is in Trump dollars.
You could wait for spring sale but unlikely they will be there that long.

[Fred Pabst]

Personally I love the idea of reduced tail rocker to the E104. Not a fan of twin tips but I still want a ski that will slarve. A little more tail rocker to be added to the E99 will be good as well. Like the Bandit said, having rubber be incorporated into the tip and tail laminates will also be a good thing. I have a Rossi BO 98 that has that. They are as quiet as a Stockli.

[uglymoney]

Meh. Wish they would leave the tail alone and add some beef up front.

They are killing off E110 & E115 because no one was skiing them in Europe besides some sponsored hotshots. Nordica has no sex appeal to the target population of skis >= 110 mm whatsoever. Just look at the graphics. Pure grandpa „I always ski 1 m of powder on my Enforcer 88“ territory. The sponsored dudes and gals moved long time ago to Unleasheds so there is no one left for E110 and E115.
They make good skis, though.

I was at my shop today comparing all three … the E88 has way less contact length and way more tip and tail rocker than the other two. Also looks like it has less beef in the rocker zones than those other two.

Brahma seems to have more tip rocker than the Kendo (soon to be M88) but similar tail profile.

That said, the E88 seems to be the closest shape to the “Rustler 8” that I always wanted Blizzard to make as a fucking around on shit snow ski - and the E89 changes sound good on paper. So I’ll try to pick up one or the other for that purpose.

I still haven't skied the E88, but own a 187 Brahma 88 and 184 Kendo 88. The Kendo skis amazingly loose (especially in the tail) for an 88, and perhaps at the expense of sheer edge grip, where the Brahma is better. Based on skiing the Enforcer 94, I'm guessing the Enforcer 88 slots between those other two in terms of edge grip and looseness/maneuverability. With all that metal in it, I find it hard to believe the Brahma doesn't end up the winner for sheer edge grip. My two cents.

[SchralphMacchio]

Yeah, looking at all the skis in hand have predisposed me to agree with that. I don’t think sheer edge grip is my goal either in “f’ing around off piste in junk snow” - something that is loose, versatile, quick to settle. The Brahma looked like it had the flattest tail and felt like it had the most beef in the tail so I’ve actually relegated that to last place for my personal interests. Just based on hand flexing and core profile it seems like the 170 K88 or 179 E88 may be workable for me …

I tried the 179 E94 two years ago and it was ohhhhhh so close to what I was looking for (core profile, dampness, stiffness, rebound all felt so dialed for me) other than it’s eager propensity to want to make one kind of turn shape without much feedback from the pilot. I may have to see if I can pick up a cheap used version and see if just having a heavily detuned and dullish edge coming into the contact points takes care of that autocarve complaint of mine.

I’m 140 lbs if the stated lengths are confusing anyone.

[BlazersTimbers503]

A little disappointed that they’re screwing with the 104 Frees. They have their faults, but they’re pretty damn good skis overall. On the other hand, it’s a total crime they did away with the 115 Frees altogether. If anyone has a pair of 115 Frees (or Pros) that are unmounted or in excellent condition, hit me up if you’re thinking about getting rid of them

I ski the E110 in Europe, a friend of mine has 2 pairs...among the best skis in my quiver. So sad they're going away...
