The 2019 Nordica Speedmachine 120 is a powerful all-mountain boot that blends high-end performance with impressive comfort and customization. With a stiff 120 flex and a medium 100 mm last, it’s built for aggressive skiing across groomers, steeps, and mixed terrain while remaining adaptable enough for long days on the hill.

Why we like it:

It delivers race-inspired power and precision without the punishing feel of a true race boot, making it an excellent daily driver for strong skiers.

Who it's for:

Ideal for advanced to expert skiers with medium-volume feet who want a stiff, performance-focused boot that can still be tuned for comfort and warmth.

Highlights:

The Speedmachine 120 features Nordica’s Tri-Fit customization system, allowing heat molding of the liner, shell, and key components for a personalized fit. The 3D Cork Fit liner locks in the heel while Primaloft insulation adds warmth without bulk. Its lightweight Tri-Force shell construction offers strong power transmission and lateral support while strategically reducing weight. Four micro-adjustable buckles and power strap ensure precise closure, while GripWalk soles improve traction off the snow.

Things to consider:

With its 120 flex, this boot demands solid technique and strength. Intermediate or casual skiers may find it too stiff and would be better suited to something softer.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Runs true to size with a medium-volume fit. The liner molds well to most foot shapes, though skiers with very wide feet may prefer something with more volume or a wider last.
