Classic cross-country skiing 150 at ECAILLES, the ski for beginners!
If you're a beginner and you'd like to discover classic cross-country skiing in a more leisurely mode: walking/sliding to observe nature and recharge your batteries without too much physical effort, then
the 150 flake ski is perfectly suited to your needs.
It's a wide, stable and easy-to-handle ski that will make it easy for you to get started and discover the joys of classic cross-country skiing!
Choosing the right ski size
The size of a cross-country ski should be chosen according to your level of practice and your weight, not your height.
For the SKI 150 with scales:
- 50 to 60 Kg => 185 cm
- 60 to 75 Kg => 195 cm
- 80 to 95 Kg => 200 cm
- more than 90 Kg = 205 cm
If you are between two sizes:
- For more comfort = prefer the smaller size, the ski will be easier to handle.
- For more sporty practice = prefer the larger size. For a more sporty style = choose the larger size.
ECAILLES hook, the assurance of not backing down!
The grip on a cross-country ski corresponds to the area located in the center of the sole (underside of the ski).
It provides "grip" to prevent slipping on ascents, while guaranteeing fluid gliding on the flat or downhill.
There are 3 systems: flakes, retaining wax or skins.
The 150 ski is equipped with a flake grip that provides excellent grip to prevent problems on ascents.
BASIC auto bindings, simplicity at your fingertips!
All our skis are sold with Rottefella bindings compatible with NNN, Prolink and Turnamic standards.
The 150 crown skis are equipped with the Rottefella BASIC AUTO binding, perfect for beginner skiers.
It's easy to use thanks to its "step-in" function, which allows you to put on your skis automatically with a simple press of the forefoot and take them off by pressing the button on the front using the tip of your cross-country ski pole.
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.
