Features
The Twin Skin Cruiser EF offers everything recreational skiers need to enjoy a day in the tracks. A light Air Channel core reduces weight while a better base and base finish improves glide. Efficient Forward construction and Twin Skin mohair strips combine for a safe, reliable kick for skiers with less-than-perfect technique. The Cruiser is sized shorter to increase control and maneuverability. Comes in a set with the Control Step-In TURNAMIC® binding.
- Air Channel — Air channels integrate into the fiberglass wood core save weight compared to the pure wood cores and are more resistant to breaking. Better area pressure distribution.
- Efficient Forward — Thanks to the revolutionary composition of proven materials the elasticity of the body of the ski is extremely increased: this guarantees a forgiving kick action and a new, easy-going skiing experience.
- Power Layer — 0.2 mm thin, extremely lightweight, full-surface high-pressure laminate comprising natural fibers and resin for noticeable ski weight reduction.
- Twin Skin® — Two separate skin strips arranged in offset positions and with variable base-depth integration result in smooth and balanced gliding. Mohair skins ensure you can rely on the kick action, especially in hard or icy conditions.

Can I use these skis for both classic stride and skate skiing, or are they built for one style?

I mostly ski on flat, packed trails near my house — will these perform well in that setting?

Are these skis a good choice for long backcountry tours, or are they more of a fitness/track ski?

Are these waxless skis, or will I need to apply kick wax to get grip on the uphills?
Twin Skin mohair strips provide the ski's kick zone, delivering reliable grip without relying on a kick-wax grip zone. The mohair skins are designed to maintain kick action, especially when conditions are hard or icy.
