AD cross-country skis SOFT camber skating 900+Rottefella Xcelerator Pro bindings

1 - Choosing the right SIZE - Skate 900

Choose ski size according to your weight and not its length.



SKATE SKI 900



SOFT CAMBER

- 55 to 65 kg = 181 cm



MEDIUM CAMBER

- 65 to 75 kg = 181 cm (out of stock)

- 70 to 90 kg = 188 cm



HARD CAMBER

- 90 to 120 kg = 188 cm

- 100 to 130 kg = 193 cm (out of stock)



If you find yourself between two sizes:

- For more comfort, choose the lower size to ensure the ski is more manoeuvrable.

- For more intense use = choose the larger size

2 - A sintered base, for superior slide

The base is the part of the ski in contact with the snow. It is made of polyethylene (HDPE), which can be extruded or sintered during the manufacturing process.



The base of the 900 ski is made of sintered HDPE, which is a plastic powder of a high molecular weight that is heated, compressed and cut into a plate.

This process produces a more dense base and delivers superior glide performance and durability.

3 - XCELERATOR skate ski bindings – the technology to help you go faster!

All of our skis are sold with bindings from Norweigan brand Rottefella, which are compatible with the NNN, Prolink and Turnamic standards.



The 900 skis are equipped with Rottefella XCELERATOR Pro skating bindings - Quick lock system

To optimise the positioning of the body on the skis, you can easily move the binding without needing any tools:

sliding the bindings forwards provides more stability, while sliding the bindings backwards helps the skis glide better.

4 - Waxing, the secret of durability!

When buying skis, we recommend that you prepare the base well to achieve an optimum glide. Several consecutive waxings are best to "nourish" the base properly.



To maintain the performance of your skis, don't forget to wax them regularly!



To wax your skis, check out our tutorials on our Inovik YouTube channel or book an appointment in your Decathlon workshop.

GLOSSARY = Construction of a ski

Our skis are made using a "sandwich" structure: by layering different materials in the core of the ski and across its entire width.

The final product is assembled with a press.



CORE = the centre of the ski: wooden (solid or with channels) or composite (honeycomb or Nomex®)

BASE = Part in contact with snow: it is made of sintered or extruded high density polyethylene (HDPE).

GRIP = grip area under the ski

SIDECUTS = width of a ski at the nose, waist and tail
