The Salomon S/MAX eSKIN MED classic cross-country skis combine a built-in 100% mohair eSKINGRIP+ skin with a World Cup base for precise, silent grip—no need to wax the kick zone. Equipped with Prolink Shift Race bindings, they are designed for unisex skiers weighing 60 to 70 kg (size 196) who are looking for a race-like experience in classic technique, in all snow conditions. The S-CORE 45 core, made from recycled materials, keeps the weight down while maintaining stride efficiency.
The Salomon S/MAX ESKIN MED + PSP 196 is a cross-country ski designed for classic-style skiing, intended for skiers seeking a race-like experience in all snow conditions. Thanks to its integrated eSKINGRIP+ skin, it is ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers who want to combine reliable grip with efficient glide, without compromising on lightness. For the 196 cm length, this model is recommended for skiers weighing between 60 and 70 kg, ensuring a precise match between the ski’s flex and the skier’s physique. This package comes with Prolink Shift Race bindings already mounted, ready to ski right from your first outing.
The S/MAX ESKIN MED’s grip system is based on eSKINGRIP+ technology, an integrated skin made of 100% mohair. This natural material provides solid grip during the push phase of the classic stride, while maintaining glide during the roll-out phase. Unlike a waxable ski, this solution requires no preparation of the kick zone before each outing, which simplifies use in the field. Grip remains stable in a variety of snow conditions, from cold, dry snow to wet spring snow, without any loss of effectiveness. For skiers looking to replace their climbing skins, the compatible replacement model is the eSKINRACE.
The construction of the Salomon S/MAX ESKIN MED is based on several technical choices that directly influence its performance on the slopes. Here are the key components that define this ski:
The package includes Prolink Shift Race bindings, which meet the Prolink standard and ensure direct energy transfer between the boot and the ski with every push in the classic technique. This standard determines your choice of cross-country boots: check for Prolink compatibility before purchasing any boots. The My Custom Ski system, used during manufacturing, ensures that each ski is selected based on the skier’s body weight, which enhances the consistency between the ski’s actual flex and its expected glide characteristics. The 44-44-44 mm parallel sidecut, typical of classic cross-country skis, contributes to directional stability on groomed trails.
The S/MAX ESKIN MED + fix PSP 196 is designed for intermediate to advanced classic-style skiers looking for a cross-country ski that combines ease of maintenance, reliable mohair grip, and a performance-oriented construction. It is a logical choice for those who want to progress toward a racing-like experience without having to deal with grip wax application.
