All new from Nordica is the Wild Bell 84 DC. Nordica took quite an innovative approach to this ski’s construction and the result is a more playful and fun-loving ski that doesn’t come at the cost of a high speed limit. The approach they took involves a dual wood core that sandwiches a layer of rubber which runs through the length of the ski. The benefits of this construction are a smoother flex, more liveliness, and more stability and vibration damping. The ski’s design accounts for the added ride height of bindings. A Natural Stance design lowers the height of the binding by about 2 millimeters and sets the heel lower than the toe creating a very centered, natural and balanced stance over the ski. Think about wearing flats versus wearing heels. Which one feels better? I think we can all agree on the same answer here. Aside from construction the Wild Belle remains fairly simple in shape. An 84 –millimeter waist width lends itself well to exploring all sorts of frontside terrain and provides some versatility and float when things get a bit softer. Comprised of mostly camber, the Wild belle does feature a slight early rise profile in the tip for a bit of forgiveness and easier turn initiation. Overall, A very smooth, stable and fun new ski from Nordica that is designed around ladies who like dynamic turns at fast speeds.
