The rollerski is a fairly recent discipline that allows you to practice Nordic skiing during all seasons other than winter.

To excel in this practice, you will need the best equipment that you can only find on Ekosport.
Tips for choosing the right equipment for roller skiing
Although it is shorter than classic skis, roller skiing allows you to perfectly replicate the feeling of gliding on nice groomed snow. If you're an experienced ski tourer or cross-country skier, a Nordeex roller ski package should meet your needs. The roller skis from this brand are just a tad larger than those of it’s competitors, leading the skier to perfect their technique and sketch out exactly the same cross-country skiing stances.
The Nordeex roller ski pack consists of a low-profile, one-piece aluminium beam, in other words, they are very close to the ground. Thus, they offer the skier, a very good balance and optimal safety. Manufactured in France, these roller skis are of exemplary quality. Moreover, these are the skis used by the French team of the discipline for several seasons now.
Tips for choosing roller skis
The vast majority of roller skis are offered with two or more types of wheels, such as the Nordeex wheel ski pack. While some wheels are fast, others are slower. The choice of wheel category depends, of course, on the level and goals of the rider.
The sensations offered by slow wheels are similar to those experienced when riding down a snowy slope. These wheels are therefore recommended for experienced riders who want to work on their physiques better. They are also recommended for people who are new to the sport. The slow wheels allow you to control the skis wheels and avoid excessive speed.
On the other hand, fast wheels are used for competition, but only if the rules allow it. Important clarification: fast wheels are not very easy to handle and less safe going downhill. It is recommended to have done hours of training before using them.
The equipment for cross-country roller skiing
The equipment you will need for roller skiing is exactly the same as that for cross-country skiing. Indeed, skiers must wear the same boots and use exactly the same bindings. The same applies to poles, except that it is preferable to opt for fibreglass or carbon fibre models to limit shocks and vibrations. On the other hand, the tips of the rollerski poles are bigger and more resistant, which guarantees a better adherence during the pushes. To complete his/her equipment, the roller ski skier will need a helmet and carrying bag.
