Unleashed 98CA | 2027

Returning unchanged for 2027, the Unleashed 98 CA remains one of the most versatile skis in Nordica's arsenal. Softer extremities provide an easygoing, surfy feel, complemented by just enough underfoot composure to remain predictable at speed. When the snow is softer and you're craving side hits, this is the one to reach for

While the Unleashed 98 and 98 CA share the same shape and profile, the 98 comes with a full sheet of Titanal under the hood. The Unleashed 98 CA uses a more forgiving carbon laminate that prioritizes accessibility over raw power. The CA is significantly easier to maneuver, providing an easygoing ski that harkens back to Nordica's Soul Rider series.

The 98 CA shines in its versatility, with no need to muscle your way through turns. Making quick changes of direction is effortless. While the tip and tail are soft enough to press rollers, it's far from a complete noodle, giving you the confidence to stomp on larger park jumps. At 98 mm underfoot, the Unleashed 98 CA is perfect for minor pow days and laps in between storms. Its tip and tail rocker delivers more float than its slender profile would suggest. If you're looking to rail turns on the frontside like Brooks Curran, you'd be best off grabbing a ski from Nordica's Enforcer line but if you want to jib like Essex Prescott, there's no better tool.

The Unleashed 98 CA is built for skiers who value maneuverability and creativity but still want enough support to ski the mountain with intention. If you've been curious about the Unleashed series but don't want the added demands of a metal-laminate ski, the 98 CA offers a more approachable take on the same philosophy.
