Original FIS racing skis: equipment for professional sport at xspo
Original FIS racing skis are skis specially made for professional racing. They are based on the official specifications of the International Ski Federation.
Different racing skis according to official FIS guidelines
If you want to take part in alpine ski races, you need specially made racing skis. In contrast to conventional race carvers, they are specially designed for professional racing. They should therefore only be skied by experts who are familiar with the handling of these skis.
Competition skis must fulfil special requirements set by the FIS (Fédération International de Ski). These are the prescribed lengths, the side widths under and in front of the binding as well as the radius and the maximum height. A distinction is made between the genders and the various disciplines. If you buy an original FIS racing ski from our online shop, you can be sure that it fulfils these specifications exactly.
As there are different disciplines in ski racing, the skis must also be designed according to the requirements. The abbreviations SL and GS in the ski names refer to the disciplines. SL stands for slalom, one of the oldest competitions in skiing. The distances between the gates are very short, meaning that the skier has to change direction extremely quickly. The strong waist of the skis makes particularly short radii possible. The abbreviation GS stands for Giant Slalom. In this discipline, fewer gates have to be skied around than in slalom, meaning that significantly higher speeds can be achieved. The ski is less waisted so that larger radii can be skied.
Regardless of which type of FIS racing ski you choose, you should always place great importance on safety when practising the sport. That's why at xspo you will not only find high-quality branded skis in accordance with FIS guidelines, but also racing helmets, racing protectors and safe bindings for your skis.
