Product Info

The Nordica Speedmachine 3 120 Ski Boots. Re-designed for skiers that only know one speed and want to push it faster. The Speedmachine 120 Men’s Ski Boot is built for the skier that waits for no man halfway through a run and will rarely wait for ski partners at the base if they can’t hang. With a stiff 120 flex, this version of the Speed machine is the stiffest option in the line, making it ideal for fast and aggressive skiers that demand a responsive feel from their boots. But before you go thinking the Speedmachine is a narrow-lasted race boot, know that the 100mm last accommodates moderately wide feet or those just looking for a slightly roomier feel for a bit more comfort on the mountain.

TECHNICAL SPECS
3D Custom Cork Liner — 3D Custom Cork Liner is equipped with the natural cork material which cover the heel surface, an essential part in providing lateral transmission. This responsive material also provides thermal insulation, keeping your feet always warm and dry. Lastly, it’s easily customizable to reach the best fit and precision.

Isotherm — Isotherm is one of the many materials Nordica used to build their liner, well-known to keep the warmth and wicks away the moisture.

3Force Technology — Nordica’s 3 Force technology maximizes the transmission of energy from the leg and foot to the liner and shell for unrivaled power and control.

3Force Honeycomb Shell — To reimagine how a boot performs, we had to first reimagine how it’s constructed. Nordica’s 3 Force Honeycomb construction pairs a light yet stiff frame that’s especially responsive with a cuff and shell composed of a softer plastic. This enhances the boot’s fit and comfort while increasing performance and reducing weight.

Infrared Technology — Infrared Technology has been developed by Nordica with the aim of customizing the boots in the most sensitive point for the skiers. Once you identify the pressure points, you just need to heat the area trough the infrared lamp. In a second step, apply the suction cup to neutralize the pressure in few minutes. Lastly, remove the cup and replace the liner: it’s time to jump into the boots and enjoy the ride.

Dual Easy Entry — Soft plastic inserts integrated into the throat allow for easy step in and step out of the boot

Flex Adjustment — In the back of the cuff we added the Flex Adjuster. For a softer flex, just unscrew the upper screw of the system; while removing the lower screw the boot will become even softer. With this simple method we provide a further element of customization, by which every skier will be able to find the best set-up depending on the ride.

High Performance Cork — New Speedmachine’s 3D Custom Cork Liner is equipped with the black cork material that covers the heel surface, an essential part in providing lateral transmission. This responsive material also provides thermal insulation, keeping your feet always warm and dry. Lastly, it’s easily customizable to reach the best fit and precision.

Primaloft® — Originally designed for the US military, PrimaLoft® insulation is permanently water-resistant. It retains its insulating and lightweight properties for warmth and comfort, even when wet. This is the best synthetic insulation available.

FITTING YOUR BOOTS
– To properly assess the fit of any boot you must lace or buckle it completely. The boot will feel small until you do this because your toes will be pushed to the front until laced or buckled. Also, keep in mind all boot liners stretch out and get bigger. 
– First, lace or buckle the boot loosely. Next, flex into the boot to drive your heel into the heel pocket. Doing this makes room for your toes. Lastly, finish lacing or buckling the boot in a flexed position.
– Be sure to wear the boots for at least 10 minutes fully laced or buckled before making a determination. Remember these boots are not made for walking, keep your knees slightly bent and flexed forward into riding position. When doing this your heels should be pushed into the back of the boot and your toes should be comfortable. 
– You should wear the thinnest sock you are comfortable with. Blood flow is the number one thing that keeps your feet warm. Adding more material around your feet with thicker socks increases the chances of reducing blood flow.
– To help your foot sit properly in your boot, you may consider an aftermarket footbed like Superfeet® or Sidas®. A footbed with arch support, not just cushion, helps align your foot in the shell and alleviates pressure points. Footbeds should be sized to your arch height and length, not your shoe size. 
– Spend some time choosing your boots, they are the most important piece of your gear!
