1 - The classic 900 cross-country ski with skins, the top-of-the-range ski with skins!
You're an intensive cross-country skier and you've mastered the technical steps.
For you, cross-country skiing means cardio and a taste for effort, but you're not a fan of restraint waxing?
Adopt the 900 ski with skins, the best-performing ski in our classic range with minimum maintenance, since it's equipped with 100% mohair skins that provide excellent glide.
This ski offers the best glide with an ideal ratio of lightness, stiffness and camber control.
2 - An adapted camber, for a personalized ski!
Cross-country skis have a camber whose function is to restore the force applied by the skier and to resist crushing under his weight.
In classic skiing, to grip, you need to be able to crush the ski so that the retaining zone is in contact with the snow.
On the other hand, to glide, the retaining zone must no longer be in contact with the snow.
It's important to choose the right ski camber for your weight and ability to achieve the right grip/glide ratio.
3 - Choosing the right SIZE
The size of a cross-country ski depends on your level of practice and your weight
Ski à peaux 900 :
CAMBRE MEDIUM
- 55 to 65 Kg = 188 cm
- 60 to 75 Kg = 195 cm
- 65 to 80 Kg = 202 cm
CAMBRE HARD
- 80 to 95 Kg = 202 cm
- 90 to 110 Kg = 207 cm
If you're between 2 sizes:
- If you're more comfortable, choose the smaller size, as the ski will be easier to handle.
- For a more sporty style = choose the larger size.
4 - The key to PEAUX, simplicity!
The grip on a cross-country ski corresponds to the area in the center of the sole (underside of the ski).
It provides "grip" to prevent slipping on ascents, while guaranteeing smooth gliding on the flat or downhill.
There are 3 systems: flakes, retaining wax or skins.
The 900 ski is equipped with a 100% mohair skin grip
Skins provide the same grip quality as flake soles, but have the advantage of not making noise and do not require waxing.
5 - XCELERATOR PRO 2.0 bindings, the technical, upgradeable binding!
All our skis are sold with Rottefella bindings compatible with NNN, prolink and Turnamic standards.
The 900 skins skis are equipped with the Rottefella XCELERATOR PRO 2.0 binding, which is lightweight and offers ideal foot position and optimal power transfer from foot to ski.
It is upgradeable as the move system can be adapted to move the binding without taking off the shoes. Provides power and speed
Changing skins
Your skins are worn, change them...
We advise you to contact the workshop to order and change
Ski size 188 / 195 / 202 / 207 CM => reference code pair of skins = 4229191
6 - A sintered sole for superior glide
The base is the part of the ski in contact with the snow, and is made of polyethylene (PEhd). The manufacturing process can be extruded or sintered.
The base of the 900 ski is made of sintered PEhd, using high molecular weight plastic powder, heated, compressed and cut into plates.
This process gives the base a higher density and therefore better glide and resistance.
7 - Waxing, the secret of durability
When you buy your skis, we recommend that you prepare the base of your skis properly to achieve their optimum glide level. We recommend several consecutive waxings to "nourish" the base.
To maintain the performance of your skis, don't forget to wax them regularly!
To wax your skis, discover our tutorials on our You Tube channel Inovik or make an appointment in your workshop Decathlon.
LEXICLE = Building a ski
Our skis are designed using a "sandwich" process: superimposing different materials at the heart of the ski and across its entire width.
The final product is assembled with a press.
CORNER = core of the ski: wood (solid or with channels) or composite (honeycomb or Nomex®)
BOTTOM = part in contact with the snow, made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), sintered or extruded.
ACCROCHE = retaining zone located under the ski
EDGE LINES = width of a ski in tip, runner and heel.
