Cross-country skis fischer rcs skating cold. Which Fisher skis are best to choose? Classic ski designs

In the 2017-2018 season

• Starting from the 2017-2018 season, Fischer and Rossignol skis are equipped with the IFP platform instead of the NIS.
• The P5-1 structure that is applied to Plus skis has changed and has become more versatile. Instead of -5 and warmer, it became from -10 to +5.

In the 2019-2020 season

• 3D Gliding Sidewall– sliding side surface, which is lubricated with a special liquid. According to manufacturers, it reduces friction between the sidewalls of skis and snow. The walls are made of the same plastic as the sliding surface, but thinner. You can even apply the structure by knurling.
• All racing models (RCS, Carbonlite and Speedmax) are manufactured using cold gluing. Previously, the technology was used only on Speedmax skis.
• Now Speedmax and Carbonlite have the same core - Air Core HM Carbon. The Air Core Carbonlite no longer exists, so the skis Carbonlite is 80g heavier.
• The toes and heels of the skis are no longer made of carbon, it is only available in laminate.
• The popular 610/1Q design remains only on the Speedmax model.
• The CRS model on the Russian market comes with the name and symbols of Russialoppet. Positioned as the best option for amateurs and first-time marathoners.

Fischer lineup for the 2019-2020 season

Fischer Speedmax 3D

Speedmax skis are the brand’s top model, introduced in 2013. The first skis on the market that are produced using cold gluing technology. These are the skis used by most elite skiers at the World Cup. Since 2019, Carbonlite and RCS have joined cold bonding. What is the essence of cold gluing?

Traditionally skis are made like this:

1. The ski is assembled in a special cassette
2. The assembled components of the future ski go into a press, where they are “sintered” under high pressure and temperature, and the output is a finished ski
3. Then comes trimming, sanding and varnishing

Speedmax skis go through the same manufacturing steps, but without the plastic skid surface. The slipper is glued manually after all procedures. According to manufacturers, this protects the plastic from deformation. It does not change its structure, glides better, and absorbs lubricant better. The technology is called Cold Base Bonding. According to rumors, the idea was born out of the need to update the plastic while preserving the core of the ski.

Main technologies:

• 3D – sliding side surfaces
• Air Core HM Carbon
• World Cup Plus/Cold base

Speedmax 3D Skate. All speedmax skates have a 610 design, but different bases and structures.

A slightly simplified version of Speedmax. They do not have 3D technology and weigh slightly more than the older model. Carbonlite was one of the lightest skis in the world, but with the transition to cold gluing technology, they became 80 g heavier - 1060 instead of 980 g. The toe and heel are no longer made of carbon, it is only available in laminate. The core has also changed - the honeycomb structure of the side walls has been removed. The Carbonlite line was limited in the choice of designs and bases. Now on skates there are only 115 designs, and on classic ones 812.

Main technologies:

• Cold bonding of sliding surface
• Air Core HM Carbon
• World Cup Plus/Cold base

Carbonlite Skate. Weight 1060 g (was 980 g) with a size of 186 cm. Length - 171-191 cm.

Fischer workshop skis: is there a sports workshop?

In Russia they like to “get” something exclusive, secret, inaccessible to anyone. Either this is our mentality, or we remember the times of shortage. But rumors about some separate sports workshop where they make skis that are inaccessible to mere mortals still circulate. The need to buy skis from under a collection creates a Brownian movement in the Russian ski market :)

There is no special sports workshop. Sports shop is just the name of skis that have undergone a more thorough selection for rigidity. All skis are made from the same material and using the same equipment. There is a racing department that produces experimental designs and structures (Rennski). Simply put, this is a development bureau, a scientific group. These skis are not better than others, they are just experimental. They are skied by elite skiers and discarded. That “sport shop” that amateur skiers get from under the athlete is most often unnecessary pairs. Who will sell their combat skis?

There is a pre-order function - this is an individual selection of skis for specified parameters. From the total mass, skis are selected that are most suitable in a pair and correspond to the skier’s parameters. A special sticker is applied with the ski measurements. This procedure can be done at any good equipment center. And the indicators can be read from the ski barcode with a regular smartphone.

About Rennski and the “sports shop” from Maxim Tartynsky.

Where are Fischer skis made?

Disputes about the country of manufacture of Fischer skis have not subsided for many years. There is always someone revealing the secret of Speedmax production in Mukachevo (Ukraine). Determining the country of origin is simple: Austrian skis say Made in Austria, Ukrainian skis say Austria. If you look at the sticker with the barcode, it says: Made in Ukraine or Made in Austria.

The Fischer racing segment is produced only in Austria, children's Speedmax and Carbonlite. The rest are in Mukachevo. Both factories ship skis all over the world.

You can learn a lot more about skis than is written in bright, big letters on their surface. The ability to read information on skis will help you choose the right skis in the store and not be deceived when buying already used skis. We will tell you everything about the numbers on Fischer skis in this article.

Serial number of Fischer skis: decoding

On the sidewall of Fischer skis in the area of ​​the heel of the mount there is a serial number that all amateur skiers want to decipher. There are even those who look for sacred meaning in these numbers. In fact, everything in the number is simple, just like in the number of any other product.

187/1450688580 031

• 187 – ski length in cm
• 14 – year of manufacture (2013)
• 5 – hardness (4 – soft, 5 – medium, 6 – stiff)
• 06 – serial number of the week of release from the beginning of the calendar year
• 88580 – ski serial number
• 031 – hardness index (FA).

Since 2016, the ski number has been of this type 191/1653513931 without hardness index. The size of top skate models has decreased by 1 cm, and the FA index is written on a sticker with a barcode. Example in the photo – FA 80.

And this is what the “sport shop” ski sticker looks like with more detailed information. What these indicators mean will be discussed below.

On Fischer 2019-2020 skis, the number is printed in the IFP platform area. It seems that the place was chosen specifically so that the number would be hidden when installing the fasteners with screws.

Structures, diagrams and bases of Fischer skis for weather and route density

On the toe of the ski on the side of the sliding surface you can find two designations, for example: 28/1Q or 28/902 or A5/610. These designations contain information about the base of the glide and the design of the skis.

Fischer bases (sliding surfaces)

The skid surface markings can be found on the skid plate at the toe of the ski. The design is also marked there.

• A5– a universal base for cold temperatures from t -5C and below. It is on skis marked Cold, the factory structure code is C1-1.
• 28 – universal warm base at t -10C and above. Suitable for all types of snow, suitable for skis marked Plus. Since the 17/18 season it has become more universal: -10 and warmer, versus the old one from -2 and warmer. The factory structure code remains the same - P5-1.

Skis Speedmax, Carbonlite, RCS:

• Worldcup 28 (Plus) – 10% graphite
• Worldcup A5 (Cold) – 4.5% graphite

Skis RCR, SCS, CRS, SC:

• Worldcup pro – 7.5% graphite
• Protec – 7.5% graphite

Skis LS:

• Sintec – 3.5% graphite

Diagrams of Fischer skis

Skate ski designs

• 115 (15/11) – design for well-prepared and icy trails. The fulcrum points are located closer to the toe and heel of the ski. This arrangement increases the stability of the ski. Particularly relevant on an unprepared ice track and when equipment is deficient. Main disadvantages: “sticking” the ski and “burying” it in loose snow.
• 610 (61Q, 1Q)– design for a well-prepared and soft track. The support points are brought closer to the block, which makes the toe and tail of the ski softer. This design allows the ski not to “stick” or bury itself in loose snow. Main disadvantages: “scouring” on an icy track due to lack of equipment.

Classic ski designs

• 902 (90/9Q2)– design for soft and loose trails. Similar to skating 610/1Q, i.e. has soft toes and heels. The block is located lower than on the 812 and makes it easier to hold in difficult weather conditions. The main disadvantage: due to the low location of the holding area, the ointment will come off faster.
• 90L– a variation of design 902. It has a higher arc, i.e. the block is raised higher. It is found on special order skis, and since 2018 it has been used in Speedmax Twin Skin skis (but the marking is still 9Q2).
• 812 (81/8Q2)– universal classic design. The standard placement of the block retains the ointment longer, but requires more impulse to push through.

Structures on Fischer skis

The most common structures are P5-1 and C1-1. They, according to manufacturers, are the most popular at the World Cup.

Applying structure to skis is a delicate matter. To replicate the structure, there must be the same equipment, the same grinding stone, the same emulsion, etc. Real racing Fisher structures are rolled out only in Reed. Structures P5-1 (Plus or universal warm) and C1-1 (Cold or universal cold) are applied to the skis.

Below is a complete list of structures that are and have been used by Fischer. A similar list is floating around the Internet, but in this list we have corrected the temperature ranges as of the 17/18 season. If you have anything to add to this list, write in the comments.

Fischer structures

• P10-1 for dry snow at temperatures below 0
• C1-1 all types of snow, including fresh, temperature below -5
• C3-1 for artificial snow, temperature below -5
• C8-1 narrower structure for artificial snow from 0 to -10
• C12-1 any type of snow, -5-15
• C12-7 fine-grained snow at t from 0 to -10
• P1-1 temperature +3 to -5, fresh snow
• P3-1 structure for fresh wet snow, at 0 degrees with a transition to positive
• P3-2 for old wet snow at t 0 with a transition to plus
• Р3-3 watery snow, from +5 and above
• Р5-0 dry fine snow from 0 to -5
• P5-9 structure for classic skis on old wet snow, temperatures from 0 and above
• TZ1-1 for fresh snow at temperatures below 0
• P5-1 universal structure for temperatures from +5 to -10, any type of snow
• P22-6 transitional structure for any type of snow, temperature from +5 to -5
• P11-2 all types of snow from +2 to -8
• P10-3 falling, fresh snow, t from 0 to -5
• P9-2 wet snow, t above 0

Ramsau structures

Structures with index S are made in Ramsau. These skis can often be found on the secondary market. The most popular are S13.

• S13-6 structure for rainy weather
• S13-5-08 option for very wet fresh snow
• S11-1 dry snow at t -10 -20
• S12-1 fresh natural and artificial snow t 0 -15
• S12-4 fresh dry snow t -5 -10
• S12-2 fresh wet snow t 0 -5
• S12-6 fresh falling wet snow t 0 -5
• S12-12 old snow t 0 -5
• S12-14 for frozen snow during the warming period, fresh snow, t -2 -10
• S13-4 wet snow, natural and artificial, changeable weather, wide range
• S13-5 fresh falling wet snow, t 0 with transition to plus
• S13-5-08 wet fine-grained fresh snow
• S11-3 structure for artificial snow, t -10 -20
• S12-7 artificial snow, t -2 -12
• S11-2 cold dry natural snow, t -10 -20
• S12-16 structure for high humidity and fresh snow, suitable for gloss, t 0 -10
• S12-2-07 for fresh snow and soft tracks 0 -10
• S12-3 fresh snow at t -2 -6
• S13-6 sleet, rain

Indicators FA, HR, SVZ: what is it and how to find out through the ski barcode

This marking is not found on all skis, but only on those specially selected for a professional or by pre-order. That is, at the “special workshop” or “sports workshop,” as our skiers like to call it. We wrote more about the existence of a special or sports workshop in the article.

If you have skis in front of you without a sticker, then these indicators can be easily recognized. Place any QR code scanner on your smartphone, launch it and read the barcode on your skis. The program will display something like 2.7 – 98.3, if such information does not come out, then try reading another barcode. For example, we got 2.7 – 98.3, that is, the HR of the ski is 2.7, the exact FA is 98.3. Don’t be surprised that the sticker may say FA 98 or even 97. Skis are not produced in pairs; they are assembled into pairs only later and such discrepancies are within the margin of error.

Skis for the 2019-2020 season come with a sticker of this type. It already has a QR code for reading all the information about the skis: barcode number, full ski number with size, HR and FA.

After reading, you get a number like this, where

• 9002972387616 – barcode number
• 186/1865078755 – number stamped on skis
• 2.2 – HR
• 90 – FA

• HR- gap in millimeters, which remains after pressing the ski with half the weight of the average skier. The load is applied to the ski 7 cm below the balance point. The remaining gap is HR. Simply put, this is the stiffness of the tips and tails of the ski. For example, if you take skis with the same FA, but different HR, a ski with a larger HR will press more evenly, and a ski with a smaller HR will press down more evenly at first, but it will be more difficult to press down. With a large HR - a larger arc, a more arched ski; with a smaller HR - a smaller arc, the block is closer to the ski in the rolling phase. A low last is especially important for inexperienced skiers. In classics it will make it easier to hold, and in skates it will improve stability at the box office.
• SVZ– a characteristic showing how much the ski differs from the ideal ratio of HR and FA. The value is used in production to check quality and select pairs of skis. When choosing a pair of skis for yourself, the indicator does not matter.
• F.A.(hardness index) is the amount kilogram, which must be applied 7 cm below the balance point, to compress the ski to a gap of 0.2 millimeters.

Why FA and not a specific weight? The FA index is a characteristic of the ski, not the athlete. Using this parameter, a specialist can select skis for a specific athlete. The same ski can suit a 70 kg professional skier and a 90 kg amateur skier. At the same time, both will be comfortable and the skis will work as they should. It’s more difficult to select with FA than by kilograms, but if you figure it out, the selection of skis will be of better quality.

Review of the Fischer cross-country ski collection 2015

Series Race (racing/athlete) is represented by the following models: new for the season Fischer Speedmax Skate Cold Fisher Speedmax Skate Plus, Fischer Carbonlite Plus, Fischer Carbonlite Cold. These are professional skating models created for World Cup competitions and intended for world-class athletes. Ultra-light, ultra-fast skate skis with a World Cup profile for successful participation and victories in any race. Speedmax skis use the latest technology to connect the sliding surface to the base of the ski. The Speedmax core is baked separately and the sliding surface is glued on later in cold conditions. Thus, the crystal lattice of plastic molecules is not disturbed and this leads to an increase in the speed performance of the skis and unprecedented dynamics. Carbonlite models use HM carbon to reduce toe weight. It reduces the weight and vibration of the ski during push-off, which reduces energy loss and provides more even strides when skating. The price range for the racing series is 22,000 - 25,000 rubles. Series Sport (Expert/Amateur/Fitness) presented by RCS Skate ( Plus And Cold), RCR Skate, SCS Skate, CRS Skate, SC Skate NIS. This is a line of excellent skating skis for professionals and amateur athletes who spend a lot of time on the slopes. The skis are made using the latest technology and are designed for advanced athletes. These models have a high-molecular plastic sliding surface, inherited from older models, but with a universal structure that allows the ski to ride well in various weather conditions. The exception is the RCS Skate model, which is divided into Plus and Cold. The main difference between these skis is the different use of materials in the structure of their cores, which affects the nature of the last and the weight of the pair itself. The series borrows the geometry and design of racing models, which makes the skis controllable and very fast. It is worth recalling that Fischer is a world leader in the production of racing skis. It is the skis of this manufacturer that have won the largest number of prizes at the most prestigious competitions in the world. Price range for the expert series of skis is 7,600 - 14,300 rubles.

Review of the Fischer cross-country ski collection 2014

Speedmax And Carbonlite - Cross-country skis of these series are the most high-tech and advanced in the Fischer line. The strongest athletes compete on these skis at World Cup level competitions. Skis in these series are made using carbon fibers to lighten the weight and increase the strength of the ski. The Carbonlite is the lightest ski in the Fischer line - only 980g. The main difference between Fischer Speedmax and Carbonlite cross-country skis is the “cold” bonding of the sliding surface to the ski. Carbonlite skis are glued together entirely in an oven at a temperature of 100-120 degrees Celsius. Speedmax is kiln-bonded in exactly the same way, but without the sliding surface. The slipper is glued to the ski last at room temperature. This way, the pores of the plastic are not damaged by high temperatures, and this allows the wax to last longer than on regular skis. Carbonlite is available for skating and classic. Plus models – for temperatures -5 and above. Cold models for temperatures -5 and below. Speedmax is available only for skating and for temperatures -5 and above. Speedmax weight - 1030 g. Carbonlite weight - 980 g.

The speed of movement of an athlete along a ski slope depends on the degree of sliding of cross-country skis. The effectiveness of a classic or skating style stroke is also influenced by the correct selection of rigidity and length of equipment. Therefore, the famous Austrian manufacturer Fisher offers options for quality ski equipment and a size chart. Based on the specified parameters, even a beginner will be able to select designs of appropriate dimensions.

Characteristics

The models differ in characteristics, which is due to the characteristics of the materials used in their manufacture and the process of creating the inventory itself.

Speedmax

These fischer alpine skis are made as follows:

1. First, the product is assembled in a cassette.
2. The assembled components are placed under a press. Thanks to high temperature and pressure, a ski is formed from these components.
3. The last stage is sanding, trimming unnecessary parts, and varnishing.

The manufacturing method is practically no different from all other models.

Attention! Over the years, manufacturers began to make speedmax skis without using plastic for the sliding surface. They began to glue it by hand.

Carbonlite

The heel and toe are made of carbon. The core is AirTecTi cellular. But there is one difference from other brands - the walls are made of honeycombs standing perpendicularly.

R.C.S.

Skis are made of plastic. The structure is the same as the previous ones.

RCR

Equipment for those who play sports just for fun. Sliding surface - WC Pro.

FischerTwinSkin

A mohair casing is inserted into the lasts of these combi models. It becomes more comfortable to run in such skis.

FischerZero+

This brand was developed for those who ride in difficult weather conditions. When using skis, no lubricant is applied. The pad area is made of a special material, which is lengthened with sandpaper and shortened with paraffin.

FischerSprint Junior

Suitable for teenagers and those who are not involved in professional sports. The material for their manufacture is the same as for the previous type. The assortment is large, there are both regular and Fisher skate skis.

Advantages and disadvantages

Each model produced by the Fisher manufacturer has its own positive and negative sides.

Speedmax

Thanks to manual gluing of the surface, the material has become more resistant to temperature changes, while its structure has not changed. They glide well and quickly absorb lubricant. Such sports equipment does not need to be processed frequently during use. It is better to use Hybrid boots with it.

Carbonlite

Thanks to perpendicular honeycombs, carbonite makes skis very light. Moreover, their design is very rigid.

R.C.S.

Thanks to high-quality materials, skate skis are quite strong and glide well. The disadvantage is that the weight of the structure is greater than that of the previous two types.

RCR

These cross-country skis are considered more stable and comfortable. Therefore, they are suitable for people who are not yet good at skating. They are also heavier than the previous ones.

Fischer TwinSkin

Very comfortable skis. Thanks to the mohair casing, they cling to the snow in one direction, this does not interfere with sliding.

FischerZero+

The length of the pad can be adjusted. The NNN mount is reliable and convenient. This model will become indispensable if you want to ride in the spring.

FischerSprint Junior

Despite the fact that these models are for children, some of them are quite heavy, making them difficult to control. But one of the advantages is a huge selection of products with this label. There are several dozen junior varieties with notches, which will be convenient for cutting ski tracks. You are sure to find ones that suit you.

The length of the skis is also different. In most cases it is less than 160 centimeters. But there are also skis that reach 200 cm.

Attention! The length of all models is average. If you wish, you can find ones that are 5-10 centimeters longer or shorter.

Features and service life

Depending on the material used in manufacturing, the shelf life of skis is 2-5 years. And this period does not always depend on operation. Quality and flex change regardless of whether the skis have been sitting in the store or have been in use all along. But this does not mean that they will break immediately. Over time, rigidity and elasticity will begin to decrease, causing them to glide worse and turn more slowly.

Price

Ski prices may vary. Outdated models from 2013-2015 will cost 7-8 thousand rubles. The price for new ones is 10-12 thousand rubles. The cost depends on the length, weight, material, and other characteristics. But there are also more expensive copies. For example, a 2017 FischerProgressor F16 170 can cost more than 25 thousand rubles. This is because their characteristics are superior to other kits and they have more advantages.

1. If you are a beginner, do not buy professional skis, for example, like those from biathletes, since they require a certain technique to use.
2. It is recommended to buy products from well-known manufacturers.
3. The choice of length depends on the person’s height. Therefore, pay close attention to the code on the edging, which lists the main characteristics of this sports equipment.
4. When purchasing, you must be careful not to purchase a low-quality product.

In the end, it is worth noting that Fisher skis can be used by both beginner skiers and professionals. The main thing is to choose the right model of sports equipment, then riding will be more convenient and safer.
