Nordica Dobermann GSR EVO review 2018
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Dobermann GSR Evo from Nordica is enjoyabe but quite demanding! The ski, which is relatively flexible at the tip and stiff at the tail, needs a little time to adapt. It’s a ski with character that kicks back a lot of energy so you need to learn to master it. But once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s sheer joy. The Dobermann GSR Evo is a real Giant ski which performs well in all conditions. The ski is smooth in short turns and has a certain fluidity on soft snow, making it very versatile. It will definitely please good to excellent riders looking for a truly athletic ski.
Review: Pros

- Good grip
- Enjoyable once you've mastered the ski
- Possible to shorten the radius
- Smooth, even fluid, on soft snow
- Great fun
Review: Cons
- A technical ski that requires precision and a little time to adapt

Manufacturer's remarks
With input from the World Cup superstars, Felix Neureuther, Dominik Paris and Fritz Dopfer, our R&D team developed this Dobermann line which has lost none of its edge. The carbon race bridge technology involves a carbon insert around the tip and tail to increase torsion and power. This results in effortless turn entry, fast and fluid transition, increased torsional resistance and instant precision and edge grip.
