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

550 Cross-Country Skate Skis:

Medium camber
- 45 kg to 55 kg (99 lb to 121 lb) = 174 cm
- 50 kg to 65 kg (110 lb to 143 lb) = 181 cm
- 60 kg to 75 kg (132 lb to 165 lb) = 188 cm

Hard camber
- 75 kg to 90 kg (165 lb to 198 lb) = 188 cm
- 90 kg to 110 kg (198 lb to 242 lb) = 193 cm

It’s important to take your skill level into account—a long ski optimizes glide and speed.


1 - Choosing the right size

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 sintered base of the 550 Cross-Country Skate Skis is made from high molecular weight plastic powder that is heated, compressed, and cut into slabs.
This process produces a denser base and delivers superior glide and durability.

2 - A sintered base for superior glide

All skis include Rottefella Bindings compatible with NNN, Prolink, and Turnamic.

The 550 Cross-Country Skate Skis are equipped with Rottefella Xcelerator Pro skating bindings and the quick lock system.
To optimize body positioning and make it easier for you to adjust without tools.
Slide the bindings forward to provide more stability, or slide them toward the back for a better glide.

3 - Xcelerator bindings: the technology that increases your speed!

We recommend waxing the underside of new skis for optimal glide. Several consecutive waxes are best to build up a proper base. 

To keep skis in top performing condition, remember to wax them often!

Check out tutorials on how to wax your skis on our Inovik YouTube channel.

4 - Waxing: the key to durability!

Our skis are made using a “sandwich” structure: different materials are layered in the core of the ski and across its width. 
The final product is assembled with a press.

Core = the centre of the ski: Wooden (solid or grooved) or composite (honeycomb or Nomex®)
  Base = the part in contact with snow, made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
Grip = the underside of the ski 
Sidecuts = a ski’s width at the nose, waist, and tail
