2024 Nordica Spitfire DC 80 Pro Skis w/ FDT XCELL 12 Bindings

The 2024 Nordica Spitfire DC 80 Pro with with FTD XCell bindings widens the Spitfire platform to 80 mm underfoot, offering more versatility while still maintaining the precision and energy of a race-inspired carver. With Double Core technology and a stable yet lively construction, it’s built to handle groomers with authority while adapting more confidently to mixed snow and variable terrain.

Why we like it:

It brings the smoothness and grip of the Spitfire family into a wider chassis, making it one of the most versatile frontside-biased skis in Nordica’s lineup.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert skiers who want the carving power of a Spitfire but with extra width for stability and adaptability beyond just perfect corduroy.

Highlights:

Double Core construction sandwiches an elastomer layer between two wood cores, providing a remarkably smooth, damp ride without dulling rebound and edge energy. Reinforced with Titanal, the Spitfire DC 80 Pro offers powerful torsional stiffness and confidence when skiing fast on hard snow, while its 80 mm waist improves float and stability in softer or variable conditions. Paired with the FDT Race Plate N and Xcell 12 FDT bindings, the ski delivers precise power transfer and secure engagement.

Things to consider:

At 80 mm underfoot, it’s more versatile than narrower Spitfire models, but skiers seeking a pure carving tool for icy hardpack might still prefer the DC 72 or 74.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size. Choose shorter lengths for quicker, more agile performance, or longer for top-end stability and power.
