Classic or Skating – The Right Technique for Your Track

Madshus offers a clearly differentiated range for both skiing techniques:

Classic skis such as the Endurace Intelligrip® or Redline Classic feature a well-balanced camber, efficient kick, and reliable grip. Particularly practical: models with an Intelligrip® skin zone require no grip wax and can be customized with different interchangeable skins if needed.

Skating skis like the Race Speed Skate or Redline Skate are torsionally stiff, stable in the track, and highly responsive. They provide direct power transfer and dynamic glide – ideal for performance-oriented skaters and competitive racing.

The Right Model for Every Performance Level

Madshus covers the full spectrum of cross-country skiing:

> Beginners & recreational skiers choose models like the Active Intelligrip® – smooth-running, stable, and easy to maintain.

> Intermediate & sporty skiers will find what they need with Endurace or Race Speed models, offering lightweight cores and reactive flex.

> Professionals & racers rely on the Redline series, which impresses with extremely lightweight construction and top-level glide performance.

Depending on technique and use, you can choose between skin skis, waxable skis, and race bases. Many models feature Empower® technology, which stores individual ski data via an integrated chip – ideal for precise setup and tuning.
