Choosing the right ski size

Size is based on ability and weight rather than height. For the 150 Cross-Country Skis with fish scales: - 50 to 60 kg (110 to 132 lb) => 185 cm - 60 to 75 kg (132 to 165 lb) => 195 cm - 80 to 95 kg (176 to 209 lb) => 200 cm - more than 90 kg (198 lb) = 205 cm If you are between two sizes: - For more comfort and manoeuvrability choose the shorter size. - For more intense use, choose the larger size.

Fish-Scale grip—guaranteed anti-slip system!

The grip of a cross-country ski refers to the central area of the base (underside of the ski). It helps you avoid slipping in uphill sections while providing smooth glide performance on flat or descending terrain. There are 3 systems for grip: fish scales, grip wax, or skins. The 150 Cross-Country Skis are equipped with a fish-scale anti-reverse system that provides excellent grip for avoiding problems in climbs.

Basic auto bindings—simplicity at the ends of your feet!

All our skis are sold with Rottefella bindings that are compatible with NNN, Prolink, and Turnamic. The 150 Cross-Country Skis are equipped with Rottefella Basic Auto bindings—perfect for beginner skiers. They’re easy to use, with a step-in function that lets you simply press down at the forefoot to put your skis on and remove your skis by pressing the button at the front with the tip of your ski pole.

Waxing, the key to durability!

We recommend that you prepare the underside of new skis for optimum glide. Several consecutive waxings are best to build up a proper base. To keep your skis in top performing condition, remember to wax them often! Check out our tutorials on how to wax your skis on our Inovik YouTube channel.

Glossary – ski construction

Our skis are made from a “sandwich” structure: different materials are layered in the core of the ski and across its full 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 area under the ski Sidecuts = width of a ski at the nose, waist, and tail
