The Gist

At only 2-hundreths of a point behind slimmer brother Speedmachine at this year’s test, the Sportmachine 130 represented for the Nordica family well, like the chubby younger brother that’s willing to alley brawl with the older kids when it counts. Testers said it felt a little shy of the 130 stiffness target, but that it didn’t negatively affect solid lateral moves on the ski. Every bit as good an All-Mountain utility wagon as the Speedmachine, testers claimed, but with a slightly softer interior and megatons more room.
