Nordica Dobermann GSR EDT review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
ProSkiLab™ has tested the Dobermann GSR EDT several times in the past, awarding it top ratings. Once again this year, it tops the category thanks to its extremely strong performance for a non FIS ski (in other words, not a real competition ski). Voted best Giant ski 2016, we recommend this model for riders looking above all for performance, such as good to expert skiers and competitors.
Review: Pros
- Exceptional stability and grip.
- Perfect performance even in very dynamic turns, on steep rides and hard pack.
- A reassuring ski, especially at high speed
- Remains enjoyable on soft snow.
Review: Cons
- A pretty demanding ski overall.
- Requires concentration and power.
- Also requires good technical skills, especially good positioning.

A benchmark in the upmarket ski range for its accessibility, performance and versatility!

The ski’s interface (the EVO plate) is 20% wider to enhance the precision of the rider’s pressure makes turn initiation easier. The ski’s Rapid Race Profile refers to the unusual shape of the tip that offers faster turn initiation and instant edge hold!!
