2027 Noridca Unleashed 98 CA Skis

Take the Unleashed 98, pull out the metal, and you've got the Unleashed 98 CA, Nordica's metal-free freeride ski built for skiers who want pop and energy more than plowing power.

A poplar wood core and carbon stringers do all the structural work here, with no metal anywhere in the build, giving the ski a livelier, more freestyle-friendly personality than its metal-equipped sibling. The Freeride Flow Shape's partial twin-tip tail adds a freestyle bent, with enough rocker to release cleanly and enough kick to ride switch comfortably, while True Tip construction swaps ABS plastic for extended wood to keep swing weight low and the ski feeling light in the air.

• Metal-free build for maximum rebound, pop, and low swing weight
• Freeride Flow Shape with a freestyle-friendly partial twin tip

Best for freeride skiers who want pop and playfulness over outright plowing power.
