Nordica Dobermann GSR EDT review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
ProSkiLab™ has tested the Dobermann GSR EDT several times in the past, awarding it top ratings. Once again this year, it tops the category thanks to its extremely strong performance for a non FIS ski (in other words, not a real competition ski). Voted best Giant ski 2016, we recommend this model for riders looking above all for performance, such as good to expert skiers and competitors.
Review: Pros
- Exceptional stability and grip.
- Perfect performance even in very dynamic turns, on steep rides and hard pack.
- A reassuring ski, especially at high speed
- Remains enjoyable on soft snow.
Review: Cons
- A pretty demanding ski overall.
- Requires concentration and power.
- Also requires good technical skills, especially good positioning.
