Description
The Madshus Race Speed Classic ski (or Race Speed C in some ranges) is a cross-country ski model designed for the Classic style, targeting skiers looking for an excellent balance between race performance and training versatility.
It is positioned just below Madshus' top-of-the-range Redline series, making it ideal for competitive and experienced skiers.
Race Speed Classic Features
| Feature | Detail | Benefit |
| Discipline | Classic (on groomed tracks) | Speed and efficiency in a straight line. |
| Level | Competitive / Experienced | Suitable for intensive training and racing. |
| Construction | Triaxial Carbon Construction and PR90 Core or similar. | Lightness, torsional stiffness for stability, and efficient energy transfer. |
| Camber (Stiffness) | Designed to offer a camber that promotes glide while allowing the easy application of grip wax (the kick). | Balance between good push-off and fast glide. |
| Waxing | Waxable ski (not skin). Requires the application of a grip wax (wax or klister) in the kick zone. | Allows optimization of grip and glide based on snow conditions (humidity, temperature). |
| Base | P200 Nano Black (universal race base). | Good glide wax absorption and reliable performance in various conditions. |
Positioning in the Madshus Range
-
Compared to the Redline (Top of the range): The Race Speed C is slightly heavier, and its camber is often more forgiving (easier to compress) than that of a Redline. It is easier to wax and ski for the majority of skiers, but still offers an excellent level of performance.
-
Compared to the Endurace: The Race Speed C is lighter, stiffer, and built with better quality materials than the Endurace, making it faster and more dynamic.
In summary, the Madshus Race Speed Classic is a perfect choice for the skier who wants a fast, light, and responsive ski for their training and competitions, without having to pay the price of World Cup models.
the recommended size/weight chart for the Madshus Race Speed Classic ski (non-Skin, therefore waxable).
The choice of length for a classic ski is essential, as it determines the stiffness of the camber, which must be perfectly adapted to your weight.
Here is the indicative chart used for this model:
| Ski Length | Skier Weight (Indicative) |
| 185 cm | Less than 55 kg |
| 190 cm | 50 kg – 60 kg |
| 195 cm | 55 kg – 65 kg |
| 200 cm | 60 kg – 75 kg |
| 205 cm | 70 kg – 85 kg |
| 210 cm | 80 kg – 95 kg |
| 215 cm | 90 kg and more |
Important Note: This chart is generic. The final choice should ideally be made by a specialist in store who uses a flex tester (or flex tester) to measure the exact stiffness and kick zone (pocket) of the ski, as two skis of the same length may have slightly different stiffnesses.
For a race or competitive ski like the Race Speed Classic, it is crucial that the grip wax zone is perfectly lifted when you are on double support, to maximize glide.
