Created specifically for expert skiers who rip challenges on all sides of the mountain the Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel ski lives up to its name with amazing speed nimble grace and exceptional stability. Nordica designed it with an integrated Marker N3-12 Titanium binding for all-mountain versatility but the wider 84-mm. waist doesn't make the ski simple to classify. In fact in last year's skiing reviews this skis' performance feedback depended on which ski lengths the testers and editors had in stock so keep length in mind and match the appropriate sized Hot Rod Jet Fuel to your skiing preferences and you should be fine. In case you're looking for specific info we included the turn radius data for all three sizes because of the huge differences in characteristics. What critics like about the Hot Rod Jet Fuel is that this ski gives you a second chance. Forgiveness is a trait often overlooked in expert-oriented skis but the Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel ski features a XBS (X Balance System) binding interface that transmits consistent pressure from your boots to the ski edges for improved stability balance and control. Extra heel pressure from the back of the ski is transferred through the XBS interface to the area in front of the binding redistributing your skiing power unlike anything else available on the market. The Hot Rod Jet Fuel Ski also has a lively wood core with Nordica's 2V Active Ti construction a closed power train chassis specifically designed for fast and aggressive skiing. It's a performance balance that floats well in soft snow while still giving you the flex essential for groomed runs and hardpack snow.
