Swix Structure Kit

Adding structure to your ski base creates tiny channels that break surface tension and allow water to escape from under the ski. This prevents suction on the snow, which significantly improves glide, especially in warmer or transformed snow conditions.

Generally, use the 0.5mm broken V structure for colder, new snow where you need minimal texture. The 1.0mm linear roller is a versatile choice for moderate conditions, while the 2.0mm linear roller is best for wet, coarse, or transformed snow where more aggressive water evacuation is required.

Yes, the rollers are designed to work effectively on the bases of both skate and classic skis. The technique for applying the structure remains the same regardless of the ski discipline.

It is straightforward, but it requires a steady hand. You simply press the roller into the base and run it from tip to tail with consistent pressure; practicing on an old pair of skis first is a great way to get a feel for the necessary force.

No, the structure is temporary. It will gradually wear off as you ski and can be completely removed or reset when you hot wax and scrape your skis, allowing you to adapt your base to the conditions of the day.
