TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
1 - The 900 classic cross-country skin ski – the top of the range of our skin skis!
You are an intensive cross-co skier who has mastered the technical moves.
For you, cross-country skiing is about cardio training and surpassing yourself, but you are unfamiliar with grip wax?
Get the 900 skin ski. It is the most powerful ski of our classic range and it requires minimal maintenance since it has 100% mohair ski skins that provide excellent glide performance.
This ski offers the best glide performance with the ideal combination of low weight, rigidity and control of the camber.
2 - A special camber for a personalised ski!
Cross-country skis have a camber to make the ski springy & resist the downward force of the skier's weight.
To provide grip in classic cross-country skiing, the ski must bend under the weight of the skier said that the grip zone is in contact with the snow.
However, in order to glide, the grip zone must no longer be in contact with the snow.
It is important to choose the correct ski camber according to one's weight & level of ability to obtain the right combination of grip & glide performance.
3 - Choosing the right SIZE
The size of a cross-country ski is chosen according to your level of ability and weight
900 skin skis:
MEDIUM CAMBER
- 55 to 65 kg = 188 cm
- 60 to 75 kg = 195 cm
- 65 to 80 kg = 202 cm
HARD CAMBER
- 80 to 95 kg = 202 cm
- 90 to 110 kg = 207 cm
If you find yourself between two different sizes:
- For more comfort, choose the lower size to ensure the ski is more manoeuvrable.
- For more intense use = choose the larger size
4 - SKIN grip, simple!
The grip of a cross-country ski corresponds to the area located in the centre of the base (underside of the ski)
This provides the "grip" needed to avoid slipping in uphill sections while delivering smooth glide perform. on flat or descending terrain
There are 3 syst.:fish scales, grip wax or skins
The 900 ski is equipped with a 100% mohair skin grip
Ski skins provide the same quality of grip as the fish-scale bases but they have the advantage of not making any noise, they do not require waxing
5 - XCELERATOR PRO 2.0 bindings – the technical bindings that will develop with you!
All of our skis are sold with Rottefella bindings that are compatible with the NNN, prolink and Turnamic standards.
The 900 skin skis are equipped with the Rottefella XCELERATOR PRO 2.0 bindings. They are lightweight and offer an ideal foot position and optimal power transfer from the foot to the ski.
It is adaptable thanks to the move system, enabling you to move the binding without unstrapping. It delivers power and speed
Changing your skins
If your ski touring skins are worn, change them...
We recommend you contact the workshop to order and get them changed
Ski size 188/195/202/207 CM => code reference pair of skins = 4229191
6 - A sintered base, for a superior glide performance
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.
7 - Waxing, the secret to 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
