TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
The 150 classic cross-country ski with SKINS – the ski for beginners!
You are a beginner and want to discover classic cross-country skiing, mostly for recreation: walk/glide to observe nature and recharge your batteries without making too much of a physical effort?
The 150 skin ski is perfectly suited to your needs.
It is a wide, stable and manoeuvrable ski with good edge grip for easily learning and discovering the joys of classic cross-country skiing!
It's an improved version of the “150 skin ski” which had known some skin detachment.
Choose the right ski size
The size of a cross-country ski is chosen according to your weight rather than your height.
For 150 skin SKI:
- 50 to 60 kg => 185 cm
- 60 to 75 kg => 195 cm
- 80 to 95 kg => 200 cm
- more than 90 kg = 205 cm
If you’re between two sizes:
- For more comfort, choose the lower size to ensure the ski is more manoeuvrable.
- For more intensive use = choose the larger size.
Attaches to SKINS, silent and efficient!
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 performance on flat or descending terrain.
There are 3 systems: fish scales, grip wax or skins.
The 150 skin ski has a mixed skin grip.
The skins provide the same quality of grip as fish scale bases but they have the advantage of not making any noise and don't need waxing
BASIC auto bindings – simplicity on your feet!
All of our skis are sold with Rottefella bindings that are compatible with the NNN, Prolink and Turnamic standards.
The 150 skin skis are equipped with the Rottefella BASIC AUTO bindings – perfect for beginner skiers.
It is easy to use thanks to its "step-in" function that allows you to automatically get your skis on by simply pressing down at the forefoot, and remove your skis by pressing the button at the front using the tip of your cross-country ski pole.
5 - 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.
Changing your skins
Your seal skins are worn, change them...
The process for changing skins will soon be available in our workshops!
