2026 Nordica Unleashed 98 CA Skis with Salomon Strive 12 GW Bindings($824.99Value)

Description

The all-new 2026 Nordica Unleashed 98 CA with bindings brings the shape and soul of the Unleashed 98 to a wider audience with a lighter, more energetic feel that’s perfect for playful all-mountain skiing. New for 2026, the Nordica Unleashed 98 CA with bindings delivers the same shape and playful profile as its metal-infused sibling, but swaps the Titanal layer for a lighter, more approachable construction. Despite the “CA” label, there’s no carbon here—just a clean, simple wood core that keeps the ski responsive, energetic, and smooth. The result is an accessible twin-tip freeride ski that’s easier to ski, without giving up the fun. The Unleashed 98 CA maintains the progressive twin-tip shape and versatile profile of the original Unleashed 98, but with a poplar and beech wood core and no metal laminate. That makes the ski lighter, more forgiving, and more energetic underfoot. The long effective edge keeps things stable on firm snow, while rocker in the tip and tail helps the ski pivot easily, surf soft snow, and initiate turns with ease. It’s a freeride-friendly ride that rewards playful skiing, without demanding as much strength or speed to shine.
