ISPO 2018: What We Saw, Noticed and Liked

Gear News, Newsfeed

ISPO is huge. No photo or even video could convey ginormous size of the exhibition spread over 16 cavernous halls. It also would not let you forget for a second that industrial heart of the world these days is beating in China. And in India. And in Bangladesh. And Pakistan. [caption id="attachment_6585" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Marwe had its people dressed in real cool looking vests with multiple pockets. Production perspectives uncertain as Asian manufacturers are only willing to produce in volume [/caption] Since cross country skiing is a niche sport, alas, Asian manufacturers who think in terms of volume, are not yet big in this sector. The things, however, are slowly changing – several Chinese producers had their products on display, mostly entry-level ski boots and rollerskis. ISPO is fundametally different…

Rollerski Manufacturers Reveal Truth About Ball Bearings

Gear News, Newsfeed

Manufacturers today offer a vast choice of rollerskis to suit any taste and purse. Relative advantages of aluminum frames vs carbon laminated vs carbon monocoque are hotly debated.

We reached to several leading rollerski producers with two questions; 1. what ball-bearings do you use in production of your rollerskis and based on what criteria did you choose them over the others? 2. in the ideal world, when/if money is not an object, what ball-bearings would you recommend? Marcos Ruperez, Quionne 1. We use reliable bearings with no matter that much about velocity. Why? because what is…

Interview: People Who Make Marwe Rollerskis

Gear News, Money & Finance, Newsfeed, Trivia

The name Marwe stands out in cross country skiing world. Bright yellow/black rollerskis from Finland are used by such a vast array of national skiing and biathlon teams that one would be excused in thinking that Marwe is sponsoring the whole sport. Remarkably, the opposite is true – there are no endorsement deals that became so standard in sport – just a considered choice of so many, who rely on Hyvinkää -produced rollerskis' legendary reliability and ski-like feel. While Marwe products are ubiquitous, very little is known about the company and the people who work there. The Daily Skier have decided that it wouldn't do - and got in touch with the people behind the Marwe rollerskis Meet Marwe's Sales Manager Olli Welander and Paul Fletcher, Marketing Manager. Olli represents…
