Manufacturers description
Rating 5 of 5 in freerides ski test https://www.freeride.se/skidtest-norse-the-enduro-2022/
Test winner All-Mountain in Åka Skidor ski test 2021.
Adjusted flex pattern for the 2022/23 season. Slightly stiffer flex from under foot and towards the tail.
The versatile ski. If we were to pick one ski to use for the rest of our lives this would be the one. The Enduro is a true do it all mountain ski. It floats through powder. It pivots immediately. It grips on ice and is stable through all challenging conditions. And it absolutely rails carving on piste. All this in a lightweight package ready for your next adventure.
The sturdy yet lightweight construction means that you can take this ski everywhere. The right pop and lightness comes from our own developed ash, poplar and balsa wood core. Torsional stiffness with traditional feel comes from double layers of aluminium sheets and triaxial glass fibres combined with the right amount of rubber for vibration dampening.
In contact with the snow we use a high quality sintered base that we permanent impregnate with the original Nanowaxxx treatment. It gives you a waxless base that never needs waxing during the skis lifespan. Further it also hardens the base protecting it better from rock impacts.
Talking about rocks we also use a wider 2.0x1.8mm steel edge for increased lifespan and service.

Strengths:
Great “All Mountain ski”. Loved them in fresh powder on the groomers. Each day I scored higher using the “Carve” system.
Weaknesses:
Could be better on icy slopes.
Summary:
I had a hip replacement in June and was skiing in January. I skied better than expected on the Norse Enduro. I can’t say enough good about the ski.

Weaknesses:
Mounting point is really ridiculously forward, you have keep your toes up so that you don’t get dug in.
Summary:
Quite disappointed, was hoping for a versatile, true free ride ski, but the recommended mounting point makes it very difficult to turn, the gets dug in and the front too short you have to keep your toes up so you don’t get dug in either, my quads were killing after a few runs… was having high hopes ☹️

Strengths:
Easy to ride, well balanced, poppy and easy to get on edge. Stable in all bow and a dream in loose snow. Incredibly buoyant in powder and easy to turn even in heavier fresh snow. Love it!
Weaknesses:
Not great on hard, icy piste surfaces. Rammed heavy afternoon snow with solid valleys is not the favorite surface either, but who wants to ride in such? That's where my stiff Blizzard Brahma is better suited (but only in that particular area...)
Summary:
Light, flexible, versatile and easy to ride. Love these 100 mm wide skis, especially in powder. Wow, what a ski you created, Patrik Sannes!
Model year: 2024
Riding style: Off-piste 70%, piste 30%.

Strengths:
Versatile!!! Works in everything.
A real ski that responds when you expect it. Which you can trust and push with, as well as play with and just laugh at.
Weaknesses:
Maybe a little long for me in heavy, wind-driven deep snow among very dense mountain birches in steep terrain.
Summary:
Am so happy and satisfied that I ran on these, a bit by chance, finally a pair of real skis again! Love them in everything; -18 degrees powder, steep cauliflower snow, breaking snow, slush, artificial snow piste, corduroy and on narrow small steep forest tracks with tight and low trees!!!
Fast, slow, agile, long carving turns... These are skis you can trust.
Model year: 2023
Riding style: Free skiing, off piste, forest skiing, sometimes piste.

Strengths:
Versatile, predictable, playful, stylish, builds confidence.
Weaknesses:
Can't really think of anything at all.
Summary:
Expectations were high for Norse The Enduro, but it didn't take me long to find that these were exceeded on all counts. A perfect ski for me for the whole mountain all day long and that really works in different conditions!
Start of the day with laps in corduroy, high speed and a lot of hip. A big smile and filled with self-confidence as they carve just like that and sit nicely against the surface. Later in the day, when the surface is messy, they run like locomotives, just to be eaten. When there is an opportunity for mischief off the slopes and the snow gets deeper, they float with their profile very nicely.
You should not be fooled by the turning radius, as I feel that the ski has considerably more turning than other equivalents, with the same theoretical turning radius.
The skis are mounted with Shift and I drive them with Technica Cochise 130 boots. I have also had some luck with the skis but unfortunately it has been a little less than planned as I have several other pairs of skis which are usually the first choice as I prefer to go with a light setup.

Strengths:
light, easy to turn, stable at high speeds, saves energy, is a lot of fun in high snow - the skis are easy going there, very good grip on icy slopes
Weaknesses:
None
Summary:
An optically totally chic ski that is just plain fun. Delivered on time, I drove it in Kühtai for 1 week in April in spring temperatures. I would buy it again in a heartbeat and recommend it 100%. I ordered it direct from Norse. Patrik gave me detailed advice in advance by e-mail and recommended the right ski length and binding for me. Questions were answered promptly and very friendly.

Summary:
Have now ridden on my Enduros for a few months and am SO happy! They are damn fun and at the same time stable to ride on! Works on just about any surface - in powder, in the kids' forest tracks, in hard piste, in run-up piste, on cut snow and in slushy spring snow. They respond quickly and turn easily, but can also handle high speeds and large carving turns. Good grip even on really hard ice and no problems floating through 20 cm powder. I feel like a queen on mine and jump even more gracefully than I ever could before! Also sick looking! So, if you only have a pair of skis that make skiing more fun no matter where you go, these are them!
I bought mine directly from the supplier and Patrik is a professional. Committed, knowledgeable and caring about me as a customer, which is not unimportant. At least not for me.
So - full pot!
