Madshus

PVC-Free

In keeping with Madshus' ongoing commitment to protect the winter world, Madshus has introduced the best-fitting and most breathable boots yet, in a totally PVC-Free construction that lessens our impact on the winter world around us.

MemBrain® Softshell Construction

Madshus boots feature MemBrain® softshell and hybrid constructions, allowing the boot to comfortably conform to the contours of the foot while providing durability, waterproof protection, breathability, and warmth.

Lacing Fingers

Providing the best-fitting Nordic boots requires a lacing system that secures the entire foot. Madshus' Lacing Fingers reach far below the boot's visible lacing system to the bottom of the boot, securing the forefoot laterally and medially with balanced lacing tension.

NNN Outsole

Madshus boots use the Rottefella NNN binding interface. With two guide rails and a broader binding plate, NNN offers maximum stability and control over the ski. The close contact between the boot, binding and ski (especially with the NIS plate system) provides optimal power transfer for a more efficient stride.

Triaxial Braiding

Developed by Madshus, Triaxial Braiding is still the best-known process of applying fiberglass to a core. This process consists of putting a core through the patented fiberglass sock, wrapping the core in interlocking woven strands of fiberglass and carbon fiber. This unique method produces a ski that has a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining the ski's lively feel and light weight.

Triaxial Carbon Construction

Triaxial Carbon Construction contains a higher carbon content surrounding the core material. This creates a ski that is extremely lightweight, torsionally stiff, and lively. Madshus uses this construction on all of our Champion Series racing skis.

• 1) 3D Cap
• 2) Linear Fiberglass
• 3) Unidirectional Carbon
• 4) Core
• 5) Triaxial Woven Fiberglass
• 6) Fiberglass Veil
• 7) Base

3D Construction

Adding enhanced performance to Madshus racing skis, 3D Construction is the unique process of shaping the ski's core to remove weight and channel stiffness and responsiveness in specific patterns for a precise tuning of a ski's torsional rigidity and flex.

Torsion Cap Construction

Torsion Cap Construction involves a braided core covered by a cap. This form of construction allows for very durable and light construction and provides tremendous versatility in ski characteristics.

• 1) Cap or 3D Cap
• 2) Unidirectional Fiberglass
• 3) Unidirectional Carbon
• 4) Core
• 5) Multidirectional Fiberglass
• 6) Base

Cap Construction

Cap construction provides a structural cap to seal the top and sides of the ski over the core and surrounding materials. Cap construction allows for more innovative engineering by allowing a variety of reinforcement materials and arrangements to be protected beneath the cap while keeping the construction light and durable.

• 1) Cap
• 2) Fiberglass
• 3) Linear Fiberglass
• 4) Core
• 5) Triaxial Woven Fiberglass
• 6) Base

NIS Plates

NIS (Nordic Integrated System) uses a permanently-bonded plate on the ski that the binding slides onto. Developed with Rottefella and patented by Madshus, this allows the skier to mount their own bindings quickly without needing to screw into the ski. With multiple positions for mounting the binding on the NIS plate, the skier can easily tune the binding position relative to the balance point of the ski, which is useful for different snow conditions.

P190 Nano Base

Designed for the speed and performance of our Champion Series racing products, the P190 Nano base comes in three different styles - Cold, Plus, Universal, and Zero CIG. Each style is intended to match up with your normal skiing conditions and waxing needs for the best performance available.

P170 Base

Bringing World Cup technologies down to the needs of fitness and citizen racers in the Race Performance skis, the P170 base comes in two different styles - P170 and P170 Zero CIG. Whether you need day-to-day reliable speed and structure or are faced with the difficult waxing conditions of a Zero base, each style is intended to match up with your skiing and waxing needs.

Zero Classic IntelliGrip (CIG) Base

This Madshus-designed classic ski base construction uses a special factory-sanded, rubberized insert section in the kick zone of the skis. Its raised texture provides for more efficient traction in difficult waxing conditions.

PTex 2000 Electra Sintered Racing Base

The PTex 2000 Electra Sintered Racing Base uses polyethylene pellets pressed into a hard block and cut off into thin strips. This results in a very hard base that is relatively porous and accepts glide wax well, especially after numerous applications. The objective in waxing the sintered racing base is to match the hardness of the wax used with the hardness of the snow.

MultiGrip (MG) Wax-Free Base

The MultiGrip (MG) base is Madshus' standard waxless base with a constant scale pattern along the whole length of the ski. This base will provide excellent grip in all snow conditions.

MultiGrip Vario+ (MGV+) Wax-Free Base

The MGV+ base is a patented high-performance waxfree system that performs like a well-waxed ski and is used on Madshus Backcountry touring skis. The five-section pattern is less aggressive towards the tip and tail for excellent gliding properties, and has a more aggressive pattern in the mid-section to provide maximum grip.

Omnitrak® Waxless Base

The Omnitrak® waxless base is used on Madshus Cross Country Downhill skis. Engineered with five zones, the Omnitrak® base uses round, spaced scales in transition zones for a smoother, more efficient glide and sharp, tight scales underfoot for maximum grip. With its rounded transition shapes and positive edge setting, the Omnitrak® base provides optimal climbing versatility and a smooth turn on firmer snow.

Contour Race Strap

The Contour Race Strap uses a 3D Thermomoldable shape to conform to the infinite shapes of your hand, supporting the heel and cradling the palm. The softer construction is easier to get on and off, and the neoprene Comfort tab prevents any strap pinch. With silicone SuperGrip printing to provide any slipping, the all-new Contour Race Strap provides exceptional control of your pole plant and stride.

Power Handle

The Madshus Power Handle is angled to provide greater forward propulsion on flats and uphills. The handle is wrapped in high-quality cork to the very top, providing warmth and comfort when racing.

Cork Race Handle

The Madshus Cork Race Handle is thinner between the thumb and forefinger to enhance comfort and control. Cork-wrapped to the very top, the Cork Race Handle provides excellend comfort and warmth in hand.

Contour Champion Strap

Featured exclusively on the Nano Carbon 100 UHM Pole the Contour Champion Strap uses a new 3D Thermomoldable shape to conform to the infinite shapes of your hand, supporting the heel and cradling the palm. The softer construction is easier to get on and off, and the neoprene Comfort tab prevents any strap pinch. With silicone SuperGrip printing to provide any slipping, the all Contour Champion Strap provides exceptional control of your pole plant and stride.

PR100X Core

PR100X is an acrylic-based, high-performance foam core, reinforced with Madshus' Triaxial Braiding technology. This is a lightweight, performance foam also found in other extreme strength/weight applications like helicopter rotor blades and airplane jet fans. The PR100X Core gives the ski excellent dampening performance and is the number one choice for top-level skis. The core is 3D-shaped on our Nanosonic skis to maximize the precision and feel of the ski.

PR100X Core

PR90 is a Triaxial-reinforced Polycell core used on Madshus Hypersonic skis. It has excellent performance properties, such as low weight and dampening. The core is 3D-shaped on some skis to maximize energy transmission, responsiveness and the feel of the ski.

Polycell

Polycell is a PU-based foam core which utilizes specific carbon and glass fiber reinforcement to suit different applications, conditions and skiers. It provides a core with great low weight and excellent dampening. The Polycell core is 3D-shaped on certain models to maximize responsiveness and energy transmission to the ski.

Air W

Air W is a lightweight Madshus wood core (Multicore) with air channels cut in it to reduce the weight. It is shaped to fit the ski, minimizing the excess use of glue in the ski.

Multicore

Multicore is a high-durability Madshus wood core laminated together to optimize the camber lifetime of the ski. Multicore gives extra strength and liveliness to the ski, and it is shaped to fit the ski profile, minimizing the excess use of glue in the ski's production.
