The X-IUM R-Skin is a skin-based classic ski from Rossignol's Race Nordic line. A small skin under the middle of the ski grips the snow crystals as soon as you load it and lets the ski run again afterwards, so waxing is off the table. The core is Nomex in Activ'Cap construction.
The skin works straight out of the box with no preparation, so you can take the skis off the rack and go. Once the grip fades you simply swap the R-Skin out — about once a year under normal use — and the ski feels new again. Upkeep stays simple, which extends the ski's life, and the IFP plate makes it compatible with the Turnamic system or a matching adapter.
