What kind of wood the skis are made of?
Skis are made of selected Polish wood: poplar and ash.
Which technologies are used in production process?
TECH TRIANGLE. Unique combination of three innovative technological solutions (AUTOROCKER, APS, TRAPEZIUM SHAPE), which cooperate and complement each other, thus ensuring great riding qualities. TECH TRIANGLE is implemented in all Nobile skis models.
AUTOROCKER. Thanks to uniquely designed ski flexibility, this solution perfectly improves its torsion, enabling the active control of turning radius. It also enables the fluent change during the ride between the „camber“ and „rocker“ profile, depending on the type of snow you ride on. Due to that, when riding on the hard snow you make the best of „camber“, while if getting into soft snow or powder, the „rocker“ automatically activates.
APS Core technology (Added Pre Stress by Nano Technology). Polish worldwide patent. During the process of forming ski inside the press, an innovative technology of initial stress is implemented. During this process page fibers are permanently stretched into wavy form, thus storing the energy in ski’s core. In the end we achieve the effect of comfortable yet dynamic ski with optimally fitted stiffness, which is nice to ride and grips on the edge perfectly, due to longitudinal twisting. This technology enables to use less materials, thanks to which the ski is lighter than standard structures.
TRAPEZIUM SHAPE. Trapezium shape of ski affects the easy turn initiation, as well as stable ride on and off the track. A long sidecut radius makes the ski extremely reliable at high speed and ride ahead. Thanks to Trapezium Shape, a ski’s „snaking“ – known from carving skis, as well as vibrations on the shovels and tails have been totally eliminated. Main features: easy turning on steep slopes, stability when turning and riding ahead with high speed.
Why Nobile skis are better than other ones?
They’re refined in the closest details. They boast great riding qualities and exceptional design. Material used in production process comes from the best manufacturers (wood, running surfaces, foil, edge, fabric, carbon fibre).
What makes them stand out?
APS New, patented concept of aps-core technology, innovative concept of turning mechanism, groundbreaking technology, answer to deficiencies of carving and rocker skis (Nobile skis took their advantages, while eliminating disadvantages). Thanks to APS, we design flex (stiffness/longitudinal flexibility) and resistance to turning precisely and independently of each other, which lets us to design ski with optimal, comfortable flexibility, while gripping the edge perfectly, even on very icy slope.
AUTOROCKER On the one hand autorocker causes ski profile to change automatically from camber to rocker, depending on the type of snow we’re riding on. On the other hand, autorocker makes the ski adjust to pressure when turning, letting a skier who rides the slalom skis to make a giant slalom curve, while the one who rides the giant slalom skis to tighten the curve almost to slalom turn.
OTHER
* High-class materials – best kinds of sought-after Polish wood – poplar and ash.
* Graphite running surface with low friction factor, used by FIS World Cup competitors.
* Edge made of carbon steel which guarantees great and long durability after filing the edge (HRC 55).
* Rubber which deadens vibrations.
* Carefully selected basis weight and glass fiber weave regulates the hardness and the force transfer.
* Lateral face made of ABS material
How to maintain and care for skis?
To preserve the optimum „health“ of running surface, after each second day spent on the slope skis should be waxed. Nobile recommends using waxes of reliable producers. Skis should be transported in covers, always strapped together with at least two ski Velcro’s.
How to choose proper skis?
For those who like sport riding on prepared slope the best skis would be the Race type ones, slalom ones or giant slalom ones, depending on whether we prefer quick ride with long curves (then choose GS) or short, quick, dynamic turns (then choose LS). For those whose natural environment is deep powder and riding off the beaten track we recommend Supreme series, which is born to freeride, but also performs great even on icy slope. For those who’d like to conquer all-terrain on one skis, both on and off the track, we recommend 50/Fifty. These will be great for the lovers of track riding who also want to try freeride off the track.
Which bindings are the best?
Nobile recommends plates, bindings and accessories of Italian producer VIST, fitted to our skis. They are very good technologically and boast a great design.
What should we pay an extra attention to when using these skis?
Remember to match the unbinding force with your weight and skills. If you own VIST bindings, you can choose whatever color you like. Your skis will become even more personal. Exchanging the covers takes three minutes. The color base is available at www.vist.it. This producer as the only one offers also plates and bindings called SPEEDLOCK – your skis don’t have to connect your skis with bindings permanently, which enables reducing the equipment’s weight, protects from stealing the skis and lets other people test the skis (changeable spacing for ski-boot).
