Nordica Sci Dobermann SGJ World Cup Plate + Marker Race Xcell 18

‌Category: Giant Slalom (SG - Super-G/Giant Slalom) Junior - The "SGJ" indicates that this is a model designed for youth competitions, specifically for Super-G (SG) or, more commonly, for Giant (GS) with FIS Junior measurements and radii.

Intended Use: This is a purely competitive ski, designed for young athletes or experienced skiers seeking maximum performance on the slopes, particularly in the fast disciplines of Giant or Super-G.

Size and Radius:

185 cm in length and a 30-meter turning radius clearly indicate that this is a ski intended for Super-G (or a very fast Giant, although 30 meters for GS is generally the Senior radius), in line with FIS regulations for the highest youth categories (e.g., Under 16 or similar categories, although regulations vary).

Construction:

WC (World Cup): Indicates that the construction comes directly from the World Cup racing department. It is an extremely stiff, powerful, and stable ski at high speeds.

Piston Plate: Refers to the interface plate mounted on the ski. The "Piston Plate" from Marker (often paired with Marker X-Comp or X-Cell bindings) is a raised plate system designed to provide direct and immediate power transmission and to allow the ski to flex evenly underfoot, improving grip and precision in turns.

Structure: Generally with a high-performance wood core and two layers of Titanal (often referred to as "Energy 2 TI" or similar in-house at Nordica) to ensure maximum torsional stability and grip on hard snow.
