WHY ARE ROLLERSKI POLES IMPORTANT?
Rollerski poles are not only an important source of propulsion, but they also support your movements, providing you with stability and balance. Nordic Blading was invented almost 100 years ago to give cross-country skiers a suitable training method during the summer months. To make the training as effective as possible, it is important to transfer the technique used on snow directly to asphalt. With LEKI rollerski poles, it is possible to reinforce the movement pattern and train cross-country skiing technique throughout the entire year.
WHAT IS ROLLSKI?
Rollski is a popular training method for cross-country skiers who want to improve their technique and fitness even in the snow-free months. It’s a type of ski equipped with small wheels and is used on paved roads. Rollski allows for year-round training and simulates the movements of cross-country skiing on snow.
WHAT IS THE FIN VARIO SYSTEM?
Rollerski poles with a Fin Vario tip can be used both in winter and summer. The Fin Vario plate change system allows you to adjust the size of your plate depending on the conditions. The cross-country ski plate S/M is suitable for firmer snow. For softer surfaces or fresh snow, we recommend the slightly larger M/L plate. The rollerski tip is perfect for the road. Changing the plates/tips can be done without tools.
HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT POLE LENGTH?
Choosing the right pole length for rollerskiing is crucial for the effectiveness and comfort of your training. In principle, the length of rollerski poles can be calculated the same way as for cross-country skiing. For classic style: body height in cm x 0.84 = recommended pole length. For skating: body height in cm x 0.89 = recommended pole length. For an exact calculation, we also have a Stocklängenberater on our website.
