Thanks to the 3D Cork Fit PrimaLoft liner, Tri Fit Technology, and Infrared Technology, this model offers extensive options for personalized boot fitting. A solid choice for skiers who enjoy dynamic skiing and prefer a classic buckle closure over BOA.
Flex: 120
With a flex index of 120, this Nordica ski boot offers firm, sporty support. The relatively stiff construction responds instantly to your movements and provides stability during powerful turns, quick edge changes, and higher speeds.
Thanks to 3Force Frame Technology, energy is efficiently transferred from your lower leg to your skis. With Flex Adjustment, you can also tailor the flex characteristics to your preferences. This boot really shines for skiers who have the technique and strength to actively utilize the flex.
Fit & Last Width: Medium Volume – 100 mm
The Speedmachine 3 120 GW features a medium fit with a nominal last width of 100 mm. This design is particularly well-suited for skiers with an average foot width who are looking for a snug, performance-oriented fit.
The anatomically shaped shell and 3D Cork Fit liner support a stable heel lock and precise contact between the foot and the boot.
The actual fit also depends on your instep height, heel shape, and overall foot volume. The specified last width is a nominal value and varies with the Mondopoint size.
Closure System: 4 Micro ALU Buckles
The Nordica Speedmachine 3 120 GW features four micro-adjustable aluminum buckles that allow you to individually adjust the tension around the foot and lower leg.
This classic buckle closure provides a secure fit and allows for precise adjustment. A wide 45 mm Power Strap offers extra support at the top of the cuff and reinforces the contact between your shin and the ski boot.
Liner & Footbed: 3D Cork Fit PrimaLoft
The 3D Cork Fit PrimaLoft liner combines an anatomical construction with natural cork panels around the heel. These cork zones can be adjusted during professional boot fitting for a more precise heel lock and better power transfer.
PrimaLoft insulation helps retain heat on cold ski days, while the cork construction also helps dampen vibrations.
Thanks to the adjustable liner, support can be further refined based on your individual foot shape.
Shell & Cuff: 3Force Frame Technology
The Bimat PU shell and cuff utilize Nordica’s 3Force Frame Technology. This combines a sturdy, lightweight frame with softer plastic zones to deliver direct power transfer, stability, and comfort.
Tri Fit Technology allows for targeted adjustments to the outer and inner boots. With Infrared Technology, specific zones of the shell can be professionally and locally molded to reduce pressure points.
The Easy Entry Soft Flap makes it easier to put the boots on and take them off thanks to more flexible zones around the entry point.
Sole & Binding Compatibility: GripWalk
The pre-mounted GripWalk Extra-Grip soles provide extra grip and a more natural rolling motion when walking off-piste. This sole type is part of the GripWalk system in accordance with ISO 23223.
These ski boots are designed for ski bindings that are explicitly compatible with GripWalk. Not every traditional alpine binding supports this sole type. Therefore, always have the compatibility of your specific binding checked and have the binding professionally adjusted.
Level: Advanced – Expert
These Nordica ski boots are particularly suitable for advanced to highly experienced skiers who enjoy powerful and dynamic skiing.
The 120 flex provides firm support during technically demanding descents, active carving, and higher speeds. Thanks to its medium fit, this model remains appealing to athletic skiers seeking a precise fit without the extra-narrow last of a race-oriented ski boot.
For leisurely recreational skiing, this stiffer construction may be less suitable.
Size Guide: Mondopoint & Fit
Choose your ski boot based on your foot length in centimeters, expressed in Mondopoint. Your regular European shoe size is only a guideline.
With this medium Speedmachine fit, your forefoot width, instep height, and heel volume are also important. The boot should fit snugly with a stable heel, without any uncomfortable pressure points. A new performance ski boot may feel tight, but a size that’s too large can cause excessive foot movement and reduce control.
Stoked Boot Fitting Advice
At Stoked in Halle, we particularly recommend this Nordica model to athletic skiers with an average foot width who are looking for firm support and direct power transfer. We pay extra attention to the heel closure, the space over the instep, and the pressure distribution around the forefoot. Thanks to the adjustable 3D Cork Fit PrimaLoft liner, Tri Fit Technology, Infrared Technology, and optional supportive insoles, we can specifically optimize the fit wherever the boot’s construction and your foot shape allow.
