The Nordica Dobermann Spitfire 76 RB Skis with FDT Xcell 12 Bindings is shaped for advanced to expert skiers seeking a slightly more versatile and forgiving carving ski. Its oversized tip and tail and 76-millimeter waist make the skis remarkably easy to turn on groomed terrain and softer snow. Wider-bodied carving skis these days have a lot going for them. Most, like the Spitfire 76, have a system binding, a wider waist, and a shorter radius versus true race-room skis, but under the hood, there's a lot of power. The Race Bridge (RB) sandwich construction utilizes wood, metal, and carbon reinforcements for a stable, energy-filled ride. Inspired by the World Cup with trickle down race technology, but built for everyday fun, it will have you linking turns through variable terrain with ease and smiles. If you're looking to have more fun with less effort, the Spitfire76 RB is your ski. When you get on something with a high-gear like these skis, you're in for a treat. If you're looking for race ski performance without having to be on your "A" game all the time, the Nordica Dobermann Spitfire 76 RB Skis with FDT Xcell 12 Bindings is your ultimate system ski and binding set up. Not everyone needs to have a race ski to carve the like a champ, and this set up will allow you to channel your inner carver while still enabling you relax, have fun and enjoy your mountain experience.

 Hi skiers, I'm Jeff from SkiEssentials.com. Welcome to our 2021 ski test videos. Today we're going to talk about the Nordica Doberman Spitfire 76 Rb

 Long camber, plenty of camber in this ski. You're not going to see any early rise or rocker. That means you get long effective edge, a lot of stability and a lot of feedback from the ski as well. No early taper either

 Sometimes people have a tendency to scoff at system skis. And sure, there are some inferior system skis out there or system bindings out there, but this one's really, really good. And because it's picking you up off the ski by design, it's actually increasing the leverage and the overall power of this ski. So in general, if you're looking for a high level carving ski, if that's your idea of a good day on the snow or maybe you've got a quiver of skis and you want to fill that role of precision, powerful, high end carving, this is a fantastic ski to consider

 But yeah, in general, it's just a high end carving ski. Whole lot of fun if you like linking carving turns and powerful precision skiing. Yeah, they're a blast to ski. You can rip around on these things

 Hi skiers, I'm Jeff from SkiEssentials.com. Welcome to our 2021 ski test videos. Today we're going to talk about the Nordica Doberman Spitfire 76 Rb.

 Great, great carving ski from Nordica. This is kind of the middle ski in a three collection series of performance oriented carving skis that aren't quite designed for race skis.

 They're basically taking the proven race performance and reapplying it to more of a consumer oriented, maybe slightly more user friendly and approachable version.

 So pretty much everything you'd expect in a high level carving ski you're going to find in the Spitfire 76 Rb.

 Long camber, plenty of camber in this ski. You're not going to see any early rise or rocker.

 That means you get long effective edge, a lot of stability and a lot of feedback from the ski as well.

 No early taper either. So same thing, you get long effective edge.

 You're going to get a really, really good snow feel and a lot of feedback from the snow because the whole ski is on the snow.

 That also translates to really, really good edge grip, which is something that we expect out of a ski like this.

 Wood core in this ski. There's also two sheets of metal. Again, these are kind of things that we expect to see in high level carving skis.

 In addition to that, Nordica also integrates some carbon fiber into this ski.

 And I'll take a moment to say that this race plate or the binding plate, whatever you want to call it, it's a really, really good plate.

 Sometimes people have a tendency to scoff at system skis.

 And sure, there are some inferior system skis out there or system bindings out there, but this one's really, really good.

 And because it's picking you up off the ski by design, it's actually increasing the leverage and the overall power of this ski.

 So in general, if you're looking for a high level carving ski, if that's your idea of a good day on the snow

 or maybe you've got a quiver of skis and you want to fill that role of precision, powerful, high end carving, this is a fantastic ski to consider.

 I think it has a relatively traditional feel.

 You know, there are some skis in this category from other brands that are using, you know, new innovative materials and stuff like that.

 Pretty straightforward build and can build and design and shape in this ski, which I definitely don't think is a bad thing.

 You know, skiers that value that kind of traditional, powerful, responsive carving performance are going to absolutely love this ski.

 I will say that 76 is a little bit wider than some skis.

 You know, Nordica does offer this in a 72 as well.

 So 76 is giving you the ability to, you know, at least ski some softer snow conditions.

 Certainly not a powder ski, but say you got a little bit choppy snow on the groomers, it'll handle that.

 You know, you get a little bit more waist width and a little bit more surface area in general than like a true race ski or a narrow or dedicated carving ski.

 If you wanted to increase the versatility even more while still staying in this range, Nordica does offer a 80 millimeter version of this ski as well.

 But yeah, in general, it's just a high end carving ski.

 Whole lot of fun if you like linking carving turns and powerful precision skiing.

 Yeah, they're a blast to ski. You can rip around on these things.

 Head on over to Ski Essentials if you want to ask us anything more about it.

 You can also read more info on it and more feedback from different testers who are able to get on it.

 We're always happy to answer any additional questions, whether you're leaving a comment or contacting us directly and giving our customer service guys a call.

 And yeah, it's just a really good ski and certainly one that you'll find for sale on Ski Essentials as long as we can keep it in stock.

 So yeah, let us know if you have any questions and we will see you guys on the slopes.

  But hold the hard pack and ice like a champ, which was exactly what I was seeking.  Keeping my 98 mm waist Rossi's for those rare fresh snow dump days.

On-piste kings

 And I've had no luck with light moguls on this ski. It likes to be on edge and on groomers. (I'm 5' 9" 170 lbs and an expert). 

 Not to say I can't get it on edge pretty easily- I can, but at 16mm it's not the shortest out there. If I'm hugging a line in search of some snow underfoot (the East!) keeping a really tight line is a bit of work. And I've had no luck with light moguls on this ski. It likes to be on edge and on groomers

 I was in the market for a front side, East Coast carver. I like to go fast and play with different turn shapes. I can rock a really short turn as well as longer GS style turns. This ski (at this length) seems to prefer going at speed and medium to longer turns

I wanted to love these a bit more. But they still might be the right ski for you. I was in the market for a front side, East Coast carver. I like to go fast and play with different turn shapes

Consumer Reports

The Volkl M6 Mantra has truly earned our approval as the best all-mountain ski, keeping the Mantra series atop the podium once again. With high scores across all testing metrics, the M6 transmits a magnetic and confidence-inspiring ride to the skier through all types of terrain and snow conditions. Whether the forecast is unclear and snow conditions uncertain, staying true to your “Mantra” is what we recommend. With three of Volkl’s Tailored Technologies underfoot, be prepared to tackle anything the mountain throws your way.
This year Volkl introduces their 3D Radius Sidecut technology to the M6 Mantra. Boasting three different turn radii within the side of the ski, the M6 can achieve a different turn outcome depending on skier input. This new technology admittedly took some getting used to. However, we found the tech especially helpful when merging onto a new run with more traffic or exiting a mogul field back onto the groomer. The M6 Mantra is on the damp side of the spectrum for skis. But we can’t complain when the overall result is the superior combination of stability and maneuverability that this ski offers through icy groomers, afternoon chop and slop, and deep pow days.

Switchback Travel

On the heels of the extremely successful and well-loved M5, Volkl hasn’t rocked the boat too much with the new M6 Mantra. It remains an extremely powerful and precise all-mountain option that’s perfectly happy in the hands of hard chargers at speed. Volkl did make some tweaks to the Titanal Frame construction: shorter skis now have less metal and are a little softer, while longer options are stronger with more metal. You also get the brand’s 3D Radius (also found in the Kendo below), which effectively gives the ski three different turn radii. In practice, it’s pretty impressive, and the M6 feels comfortable at everything from tight and quick turns to wide GS sweepers.

It’s a close call between the M6 and Nordica Enforcer above, and both are versatile, standout models. In parsing out the differences, the Mantra is noticeably wider at the tip (by 8mm), and its stiffer build gives it the advantage in terms of stability. But the Nordica is more comfortable in tight spaces with its nimble, easier-to-manage flex (this also makes it a better option for intermediate-level skiers). Both are excellent one-quiver options for riders that spend the majority of their time on groomers or in regions with moderate snowfall. We think the Nordica is a bit more well-rounded, but if you prioritize unflappable performance in nearly all conditions, the M6 Mantra is hard to beat.See the Volkl M6 Mantra  See the Women's Volkl Secret
