PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

A very well-balanced ski, and a "Testers' Choice", the Nordica Dobermann SLR Evo delivers an unbeatable combination of performance, accessibility and pleasure. We would recommend this ski for good to excellent skiers (or beginner-level slalomers) looking for a capable ski that is nevertheless pleasant underfoot, versatile and fun to ride.

Review: Pros

  • The Nordica Dobermann SLR Evo is a well-balanced ski that delivers good performance, is tolerant and has good rebound. It is lively, with good grip in short-radius turns and remains stable in longer-radius turns. Transitions from carving to sliding are easy and fluid, giving the ski a pleasant feel underfoot in all conditions. This is a ski that is a sheer pleasure to ride.

Review: Cons

  • The Dobermann requires attention and performs better when skied forward, which implies a solid technical skill set.

Manufacturer's remarks

As its name suggests, the Dobermann SLR is the perfect ski for carving sharp, precise turns with the ease of a World Cup Slalom skier!
It features the best in racing technology, including the Moderate Race Profile, and the new Evo plate - 20% wider than traditional plates - for better pressure transmission. Its full sandwich, wood-titanal construction imparts a sensation of power, and unequalled comfort underfoot!
