Nordica Spitfire Ti FDT + TP2 Light 11 Binding 2027

The Nordica Spitfire Ti FDT + TP2 Light 11 Binding 2027 is a high-performance piste carving ski designed for skiers who love precise, energetic turns on groomed snow but don’t want the demanding nature of a full race ski. Combining a Performance Wood core with Nordica’s Energy TI construction, a single layer of metal and a sophisticated multi-radius sidecut, the Spitfire Ti delivers a lively blend of stability, edge grip and easy turn initiation.

Its distinctive SL-inspired oversized tip works with a more GS-oriented waist and tail, allowing the ski to move effortlessly between quick, short-radius turns and longer, sweeping arcs. The result is a versatile piste ski that feels playful and accessible while still providing the power and precision expected from a titanium-reinforced construction.

Key Features

• Energy TI construction – a Performance Wood core combined with a single titanium layer for a smooth, powerful and stable ride without making the ski overly demanding.
• Performance Wood core – provides a responsive, energetic platform with natural flex and excellent edge-to-edge transmission.
• Sidewall construction – delivers direct power transfer to the edges and helps maximise grip on hard-packed piste.
• Multi Radius Sidecut – combines the geometry of SL skis through the tip and tail with a GS-style central section, allowing both short and long turns from the same ski.
• Oversized SL tip – encourages fast, intuitive turn initiation and makes the ski particularly easy to engage.
• GS waist and tail – provide stability and support through longer, faster turns while maintaining precision through shorter arcs.
• Full Camber – maximises edge contact and grip on groomed snow while giving the ski a precise, reactive feel.
• FDT Race Plate N – Nordica’s race-inspired plate combines performance with easy adjustment.
• TP2 Light 11 FDT bindings – supplied as a complete ski and binding package.
• 3–11 DIN range – suitable for a broad range of recreational and performance-oriented skiers.

Energy TI Construction

The Spitfire Ti uses Energy TI, combining a Performance Wood core with a single sheet of metal. This is an important part of the ski’s character: it gives the Spitfire Ti additional stability, power and vibration damping compared with a non-metal construction, while remaining less demanding than a more heavily reinforced race ski.

This makes it particularly well suited to skiers who want to increase their speed and carving performance without having to constantly drive an extremely stiff ski. The metal reinforcement provides confidence when loaded into a turn, while the wood core keeps the ski feeling energetic and approachable.

Multi Radius Sidecut

One of the defining features of the Spitfire Ti is Nordica’s Multi Radius Sidecut.

The concept combines two different carving personalities in one ski:

• SL-inspired tip and tail geometry for quick, responsive turn initiation.
• GS-inspired central geometry for stability and support through longer arcs.
• Short-radius turns remain quick and reactive.
• Longer-radius turns feel stable and powerful.
• Edge-to-edge transitions are fast and predictable.

This gives the Spitfire Ti a distinctive “GS + SL” feel, allowing the skier to vary turn shape without needing to change skis.

FDT Race Plate N

The FDT Race Plate N provides a direct connection between the ski and binding while retaining the convenience expected from a modern piste ski.

Its Fast Demo Track allows the binding position to be adjusted quickly and easily without tools, making the ski practical when sharing equipment or accommodating different boot sizes. The performance bridge between the toe and heel sections also helps transfer power efficiently into the ski.

Piste Performance

The Spitfire Ti is designed primarily for groomed piste skiing, where its full-camber profile, narrow 70–71 mm waist and race-influenced construction can deliver strong edge engagement and precise carving.

It is particularly effective for skiers who enjoy varying their turn shape. The combination of the SL-style shovel and GS-style body means you can quickly roll the ski onto edge for short turns or open the radius and let the ski accelerate through longer carved arcs.

Rather than being a pure race ski, the Ti is deliberately tuned to be more playful, easier to turn and less physically demanding, making it a strong choice for advanced recreational skiers who want high-end piste performance without race-ski rigidity.

Technical Specifications

Nordica lists the Spitfire Ti FDT with a 118–70–98 mm reference sidecut and a 12.5 m radius for the 150 cm version; the radius progresses through 13.5 m / 14.5 m / 15 m / 16 m as length increases.

Who Is It For?

The Spitfire Ti FDT is ideal for skiers who spend most of their time on groomed pistes and want a ski capable of handling a wide range of carving styles.

It’s particularly well suited to:

• Advanced recreational piste skiers.
• Skiers progressing towards stronger carving technique.
• Riders who enjoy both short and long-radius turns.
• Skiers who want titanium stability without a full race-ski feel.
• Those looking for a lively, responsive ski that remains relatively easy to control.
• Skiers who prioritise edge grip and precision on groomed snow.

The Nordica Spitfire Ti FDT 2026/27 combines the best characteristics of SL and GS carving skis into a versatile piste package. Its Energy TI construction, Performance Wood core, single titanium layer and full-camber profile provide excellent stability and edge control, while the oversized SL tip makes turn initiation quick and intuitive.

The Multi Radius Sidecut is the real standout, allowing the ski to transition naturally between tight, dynamic turns and longer, high-speed arcs. Combined with the convenient FDT Race Plate N and TP2 Light 11 FDT binding, the result is a high-performance carving ski that offers serious piste capability without becoming unnecessarily demanding.

For skiers looking for a fast, precise and versatile piste ski with a playful personality, the Spitfire Ti FDT is a particularly compelling choice.
