Nordica FireArrow 80 Ti review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Nordica skis have received high praise for their performance from the ProSkiLab™ reviewers. Unfortunately, in this category where versatility and homogeneity are the main criteria, the Fire Arrow found it difficult to convince the reviewers. This very stiff ski, tested on a 180 cm ski (instead of the 175 cm requested) is ill adapted to this category.
We’ll try it again next year in the "Piste Performance" programme.
Review: Pros
- A stiff and very stable ski
- Excellent grip
- Good ski in very long turns
Review: Cons
- Model tested was too long (180 for 175 requested)
- The ski was too stiff for this category
- Impression of heaviness and inertia
- Ski that tends to understeer and finds it difficult to finish turns
- Skid turns difficult due to the stiff tail

Manufacturer's remarks
The Fire Arrow 80 Ti is back but we’ve updated it with new sidecuts and a rocker that make it a real whizz kid on the groomers and extremely accessible in all conditions. A ski with assisted steering for greater enjoyment!
