Performance demands on skate skis are extremely high, as the skis must run very fast, but also release the snow easily while in motion. Too much structure will cause a distinctive “bite” in the performance feel of the ski, and climbing speed can be compromised. In general the more advanced layered structures - designed to combine optimal moisture and crystal management with a very light feel - offer the best advantage on skate skis.
Here you'll find our most popular ones:
- CD03AF - This is a Grind from the CD family. CD’s have a distinct angled pattern which makes them very versatile. This grind is very coarse but is a modification from CD03 to give it a bit more range. This grind is best in wet coarse grained snow, + ˚C to -4 ˚C.
- CD02 - This is a slightly finer structure than CD03AF, which allows it to cover a wider range. It is good in transformed snow from +5 ˚C to -4 ˚C.
- CD021 - is a modification of CD02. This is a grind with half the depth, which makes it much more of an all round grind. It is best in transformed/older snow from 0˚C to -12˚C.
- CD01 - this grind is half way between cold and very cold, it is very fine, yet has some depth which gives it an advantage in new snow. It is best in dryer conditions or cold new snow, -5 ˚C to -12 ˚C.
- CD011 - is a modification from CD01, for very cold and conditions, -10 ˚C and colder.
- LJ011 - this is a solid linear structure which is intended for those places which get typically once snowfall a year, yet it stays all winter, -12 ˚C and colder, with very low humidity.
