1 - The classic 900 waxed cross-country ski, the top-of-the-range ski made to measure!
You are addicted to cross-country skiing, you practice it intensively and you have a mastery of technical steps.
You take real pleasure in preparing your skis before an outing to optimize performance.
The 900 waxing ski is the best ski for those seeking performance and tailor-made preparation.
A technology that combines glide, lightness and power to start your first competitions!
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 is chosen according to your level of practice and your weight
Classic ski 900 to wax =
CAMBRE SOFT
- 45 to 55 Kg = 188 cm
- 55 to 65 Kg = 195 cm
CAMBRE HARD
- 90 to 120 Kg = 202 cm
- 100 to 130 Kg = 207 cm
If you are between 2 sizes :
- For greater comfort = prefer the smaller size, the ski will be easier to handle.
- For a more sporty style = choose the larger size.
4 - Accroche à FARTER, tailor-made to optimize your performance!
The grip of a cross-country ski corresponds to the zone located in the center of the sole (underside of the ski).
It allows you to "grip" so you don't slip on ascents, while guaranteeing a fluid glide on the flat or downhill.
There are 3 systems: scales, retaining wax or skins.
The 900 wax ski is equipped with a waxing sole that allows you to perfectly adapt your grip to snow conditions and terrain.
5 - XCELERATOR PRO MOVE fasteners, the top-of-the-range technical fastener!
All our skis are sold with Rottefella bindings compatible with NNN, prolink and Turnamic standards.
The 900 waxing skis are equipped with the Rottefella XCELERATOR MOVE binding, which provides ideal foot position and optimal power transfer from foot to ski
It is equipped with the move system, which allows you to adjust your binding with your skis on!
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 "feed" 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.
