YOKO YXS Optigrip 3.0 Black-White, 197cm

Nearly maintenance-free classic cross-country skis for recreational to sporty skiers with revolutionary Optigrip technology. No need to apply grip wax. Suitable for skiers with a height of 172 cm - 192 cm.

We recommend purchasing the Rex AntiIce liquid, which prevents fresh snow from freezing on the base.

With Yoko Optigrip cross-country skis, you no longer need to spend time applying grip waxes. Yoko has solved this with the Optigrip nanotechnology.

Yoko YXS Optigrip 3.0 Cross-Country Skis

Optigrip® is a sensational concept for classic skiing. These are skis for classic skiing that make skiing easier thanks to this technology.

Optigrip® is aimed at both performance and sporty skiing. We offer active or occasional skiers the option of completely maintenance-free skis. In some cases, race skis with Optigrip technology can be used instead of grip waxes.

Skis with Optigrip® technology are based on a layer of water created under the base, and in conjunction with nanotechnology, a large amount of adhesion and very little friction is generated. Adhesion allows the skier to push off, while friction allows for glide. The differences between the ski's grip and glide are continually enhanced thanks to the development of new Optigrip coatings.

How to choose the right ski length?

Thanks to the complete Optigrip® coating, the skis are designed as maintenance-free skis. The skis are slightly softer and lower in their profile.

The stiffness of the ski does not affect performance, as the ski uses the entire length for push-off and glide. Choosing the right length is the only factor for selecting and ordering functional Optigrip® skis.

These skis are usually chosen to be 5 – 25 cm above the skier's height, depending on their skills.

Select the right ski length: 5-12 cm above height (beginner) and 13-25 cm (sporty, hobby)

How to care for the skis?

It's good to place the skis on the snow when they have the same temperature as the air, which enhances the ski's properties. If you put the skis on the snow directly from the car trunk, the snow under the ski will melt and freeze on it. All you need is a cleaning liquid to clean the base from time to time when it's dirty from grip waxes or dirty snow.

At temperatures around zero or on new snow, we recommend using Rex AntiIce, which prevents freezing.
