The Nordica Sportmachine 3 120 BOA Men’s Ski Boot is a powerful all-mountain ski boot designed to combine strong downhill performance with a comfortable, more accommodating fit. Built around a 102 mm last and Medium Wide volume, it provides additional room compared with narrower performance boots while retaining a substantial 120 flex for responsive control and confident skiing.
The boot combines Nordica’s redesigned Tri Force technology with an integrated BOA® Fit System, allowing precise micro-adjustment around the foot while maintaining efficient energy transfer. A 3D Cork Fit PrimaLoft® liner adds warmth, support and customisation potential, making the Sportmachine 3 120 BOA a strong choice for skiers who want performance without sacrificing all-day comfort.

120 Flex & All-Mountain Performance
With a 120 flex, the Sportmachine 3 120 BOA provides a high level of support for strong, confident skiing across varied resort terrain. The relatively stiff flex allows efficient power transfer into the ski, giving experienced skiers the precision and control needed when pushing harder on piste or exploring more demanding terrain.
Despite its performance-oriented flex, Nordica has designed the Sportmachine around comfort and accessibility, making it suitable for skiers who spend full days moving across different parts of the mountain rather than focusing solely on high-performance piste skiing.
102 mm Medium Wide Fit
The 102 mm last gives the Sportmachine a Medium Wide fit, providing additional space around the foot compared with narrower 98–100 mm performance boots. This makes it particularly suitable for skiers who need more forefoot volume or simply prefer a less restrictive fit.
Nordica’s Sportmachine collection is specifically designed around a wider last and forgiving fit, while the shell and liner can be customised to further refine comfort and performance.
BOA® Fit System
An integrated BOA® Fit System provides precise micro-adjustment and allows the fit to be refined quickly throughout the day. The BOA closure works alongside two Micro Aluminium buckles to provide a secure combination of foot and cuff retention.
This arrangement allows the skier to fine-tune pressure and support without relying solely on conventional buckle adjustment, helping create a more consistent and controlled fit.
Tri Force Technology
Nordica’s Tri Force construction combines a lightweight, rigid frame with softer material in strategic areas of the cuff and shell. The aim is to provide strong energy transmission and rapid response while retaining the comfort required for extended days on the mountain.
The result is a boot that balances power and support with a more forgiving feel, making it appropriate for varied all-mountain skiing rather than a single specialised discipline.
3D Cork Fit PrimaLoft® Liner
The Sportmachine 3 120 BOA uses a 3D Cork Fit PrimaLoft® liner, combining supportive anatomical shaping with warmth and customisation potential. Nordica’s 3D Custom Cork material forms a shaped heel pocket that adapts during the fitting process, helping create a closer connection between the foot, liner and shell.
The cork construction also provides natural thermal insulation and helps damp vibration, contributing to a warmer and more composed feel while skiing. The liner and shell can be customised further to achieve a more personalised fit.
GripWalk® Soles
The boot is equipped with GripWalk® Extra-Grip soles, providing a more natural walking action and improved traction when moving around the resort. This makes walking between lifts, cafés and accommodation more comfortable than traditional flat alpine soles.
The GripWalk construction also provides compatibility with bindings designed for the GripWalk standard, subject to the binding manufacturer’s specifications.
