The 2020 Nordica Speedmachine Elite is the pinnacle of the Speedmachine collection, combining a stiff, race-inspired flex with lightweight carbon reinforcement and premium customization features. With a 130 flex and a 100 mm last, it delivers uncompromising downhill power while keeping weight low and comfort high.

Why we like it:

It brings race-level responsiveness into an all-mountain package, giving expert skiers unmatched precision without sacrificing warmth and fit.

Who it's for:

Designed for advanced and expert skiers with medium-volume feet who want a powerful, stiff boot that can drive any ski across the mountain. Perfect for those who want a blend of top-end performance and high-end comfort.

Highlights:

The Speedmachine Elite uses Nordica’s Tri-Force shell with carbon reinforcement for maximum stiffness and efficient energy transmission at a lighter weight. A 3D Cork Fit liner with Primaloft insulation provides warmth, strong heel hold, and custom-moldable fit, while the Tri-Fit system allows both liner and shell customization for fine-tuned comfort. Four micro-adjustable buckles and a power strap ensure secure closure, while GripWalk soles improve off-snow traction and comfort when walking.

Things to consider:

With its stiff flex and aggressive character, the Speedmachine Elite is not designed for intermediates or skiers who prefer a forgiving ride. Lighter skiers may find it overpowering compared to softer Speedmachine models.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Fits true to size with a medium-volume 100 mm last. The liner adapts well to most foot shapes, but those with wide feet may find the fit restrictive without professional customization.
