Dobermann multipista 80 dc review

Overview

The Dobermann Multipista 80 DC is Nordica's race-bred piste ski for advanced-to-expert carvers, sitting one step down from the FIS-derived Multigara in the Dobermann family. Verified sidecut at 175 cm is 119-74-97 mm with a 15.5 m radius and roughly 1730 g per single ski. Available lengths are 170, 175, 180 and 185 cm. Construction is the Double Core (DC) system — a poplar/beech wood core with a pulse-dampening elastomer layer sandwiched between wood layers, plus a zinc-aluminum plate for progressive flex.

On-snow performance

At 74 mm with a 15.5 m radius, the Multipista 80 DC is a specialist piste-carving ski — expect strong edge grip on hard snow, long-arc GS-style turns and a stiff, race-adjacent feel through mid-turn. The Double Core elastomer damps vibration meaningfully compared to single-core piste skis, keeping edge hold clean at speed. The 1730 g weight is competitive for the segment. Off piste and in soft snow the narrow waist and cambered profile limit the ski's usefulness — this is a carve tool, not an all-mountain performer.

Construction & specs explained

Core: Poplar and beech in a Double Core (DC) sandwich — two separate wood cores with a pulse-dampening elastomer layer between them, targeting vibration reduction without the mass of a full titanal plate. A zinc-aluminum plate under the binding area gives a progressive, powerful flex, and the Rocker-Camber profile keeps edge contact long and secure through the turn. Sidecut at 175 cm is 119-74-97 mm with a 15.5 m radius — a moderately long GS radius rather than a slalom shape. Available lengths: 170, 175, 180, 185 cm.

Who it's for & comparisons

Compared to the Nordica Dobermann multigara dc race it is less race-oriented and slightly softer — the Multigara is FIS-adjacent, the Multipista is race-inspired but tuned for enthusiast carvers. Against the Nordica Enforcer 89 it is narrower and more piste-specialist rather than mixed-terrain. Compared to the Nordica Santa ana 84 it is stiffer and more race-shaped, aimed at aggressive men rather than the more accessible Santa Ana family.

Pros, cons and verdict

Pros

• Double Core elastomer damping keeps edge grip clean at speed on hard snow.
• 15.5 m radius at 175 cm suits GS-style long carves and confident piste skiing.
• Verified weight (~1730 g at 175 cm) is competitive for a race-adjacent piste ski.
• Four length options cover most adult advanced skiers.

Cons

• 74 mm waist is too narrow for real off-piste versatility.
• Stiff, race-adjacent flex demands aggressive technique.
• Not built for touring or park.
• Long radius makes short-turn slalom skiing feel forced.

Verdict: A race-inspired piste specialist for advanced-to-expert carvers who want race-like damping and grip without going full FIS. Best matched to fast, wide groomed slopes and skiers who load the shovels hard.
