Description
The UST 808 Skate XL Road Ski
For extremely straight gliding and similar on-snow feeling.
The longer shaft of 700mm provides straight rolling while kicking without sliding to the side (like smaller
road-skis do). The axle point is slightly higher so stand-height becomes lower with positive benefit of
handling. The stiff but flexible and light aluminum shaft gives stability and flex as well. It feels like
Nordic-skiing while rolling.
All UST Road Skis come equipped with bindings and #2 (medium/standard speed) wheels.

resistance conditions.

for wheels to fit properly. See spacer packages for more details. Inquiries welcomed.
