Nordica Speedmachine 14 XBS Ski Hire and Equipment Review

All-mountain capabilities, but with the emphasis on high speed carving, all the Speedmachine range feels like GS skis with softer flexes adopted to suit different speeds of skier. Keep on the piste and they are great, but could be a handful in the bumps or in choppy conditions, especially for intermediates that might feel like expanding their horizons. The Dynastar Skicross 10, Salomon Crossmax 10, K2 Mach SMX or Apache range are all contenders in this category.
