Classic V-Wheel Technology
Why are the classic V-wheels special?
By help of the classic split wheel, the UST Classic Road ski becomes more stable and rolls straighter than
traditional flat wheel brands. It also dominates turning and eliminates wheel drift during hotter road ski
sessions.
The UST Classic Road Ski Classic wheel middle colored ring provides you with the best stability during double
poling and when diagonal striding. Because of the softer rubber ring, it also provides you with a better
feeling on the road, especially in the moment of first contact with surface. For safety reasons, the softer
center material allows pesky pebbles to pass under or to the side of the wheel instead of causing further
unnecessary road vibration and sometimes complete wheel stopping from occurring.
The classic wheel features a skate-like profile that can curve and handle edging well, which in turn
makes cornering easier, especially in wet conditions by drastically reducing aquaplaning.
These wheels also have a larger diameter aluminum rim and more durable rubber, which makes the
wheel perform superior to wheels with lots of excess rubber and small rims that ‘drift.’
Wheels: 73x43mm classic tunnel wheels in three speeds with anti-hopping
UST offers 3 different wheel speed options:
#1 wheels fast speed (index 1) for less resistance, like on icy tracks in winter.
#2 wheels medium/standard speed (index 2) (most popular) middle resistance, like standard snow.
#3 wheels slow speed (index 3) for power-strength endurance training, like wet or deep snow.
All UST Wheels are retrofittable onto other brands of road skis. UST offers specific spacer kits necessary
for wheels to fit properly. See spacer packages for more details. Inquiries welcomed.
History of the UST Classic V-wheel:
All UST Classic Road Skis have V-wheels. This unique feature has been thoroughly developed tested and
proven since 2015 among several European National Ski teams and professional marathon teams.
Besides the important tracking lines on the edges, the V-wheel provides two points of contact on the
front and two points of contact on the back. To sum it up, four points of contact while rolling on roads
and bike paths provide the upmost superior stability among any road skis and wheels ever produced in
the world. The best way to experience this is to own a pair.
Price includes mounted bindings.
