Unleashed 98 CA

The 2027 Nordica Unleashed 98 CA is a playful freeride ski for skiers who want quick, energetic turns alongside playful movement through natural terrain. Its 98 mm waist offers a useful balance for trees, bumps, soft resort snow and groomer transitions, with 156–186 cm lengths and 15.5–19 metre radii. This CA version is sold flat; Nordica lists a Marker Griffon 13 as the suggested binding separately.

A Lite Performance Wood core with carbon stringers keeps the build light and lively without using the Drift Lock metal found in the non-CA Unleashed 98. Carbon adds rebound while preserving a loose, energetic feel. Freeride Flow Shape combines early rise at the tip and tail with camber underfoot, so the ski can smear and pivot in soft snow while still finding edge contact on groomers. True Tip reduces heavy ABS in the nose and extends lighter wood forward, improving maneuverability when popping through bumps or changing direction in trees.

Choose the Unleashed 98 CA for an advanced skier who values playful movement, natural pivoting and a light, energetic response across resort terrain. It is happiest in soft snow, trees, bumps and spring conditions, with enough edge support for connecting groomers. It will not feel as damp or planted as a metal-laminate ski when driven straight through rough snow, and deep powder may call for a wider platform. The CA suits skiers who want freedom and pop; the metal Unleashed 98 is steadier at speed.
