    Very close to the 99

    marcoche · 18 Dec 2025 · 179 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2026 model.

    Comparing it directly to his daily Enforcer 99, the tester found the Enforcer 94 very similar, noting its strong edge grip, solid stability, and great dampening through heavy chop and soft bumps. The narrower waist makes edge transitions quicker and short turns slightly easier, though deep-snow flotation remains limited. It is a demanding charger tailored for frontside and resort-focused skiers who drive aggressively. The tester awarded it a score of 9/10.

    “l'accroche est impeccable, je dirais un poil meilleure que le 99” (marcoche)

    Why this one: Tester weighs 70 kg, within 20 kg of you.

    Nordica Enforcer 94: The essence of all-mountain

    bkkaset · 3 Dec 2025 · 185 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2026 model.

    Tested in Val d'Isère across groomed hardpack and pristine off-piste powder, the reviewer found this ski to be an exceptional all-mountain model combining power, grip, and surprising agility. The updated shape and tail rocker provide easy pivoting and playful off-piste performance without losing torsional stability or edge hold on piste. Overall, it stands out as a highly versatile and balanced ski that is not overly demanding. The tester awarded it a personal score of 9/10.

    “L'accroche est superbe : bien présente sous le pied” (bkkaset)

    Why this one: Tester weighs 72 kg, within 20 kg of you.

    2027 Nordica Unleashed 98 - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review

    SkiEssentials · 17 Aug 2026 · 174 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2027 model.

    The Nordica Unleashed 98 returns structurally unchanged for 2027, featuring a new topsheet graphic. Built with a full-length terrain-specific metal sheet, wood core, and carbon stringers, it balances accessible cruising with a high performance ceiling. The ski shines with consistent flex, composed edge hold, and predictable carving on groomed terrain, though its flatter rocker and traditional profile limit soft snow float.

    Why this one: Tester weight not stated.

    2026 Nordica Unleashed 98 - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review

    SkiEssentials · 8 Aug 2025 · 186 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2026 model.

    Jeff from SkiEssentials tests the unchanged build of the 2026 Nordica Unleashed 98, which receives fresh graphics. He highlights its exceptional carving prowess relative to other twin-tip designs, attributing this performance to the terrain-specific metal layer and minimal rocker profile. While it requires solid fundamentals and is not particularly forgiving or light in the terrain park or tight off-piste conditions, it delivers outstanding edge hold, high-speed stability, and fun versatility.
