Pro by Swix: A complete range of fluoro free glide waxes for all skiers.

Swix PS – Performance Speed

The low price makes Swix PS a popular choice when it comes to saturating and storing skis.For normal ski-touring, it is sufficient to use PS to improve the glide characteristics of the skis.

Swix HS – High Speed

Swix HS is, as you can see in the picture above, ranked above PS on the scale of glide properties. HS is a popular choice for cross-country enthusiasts, recreational skiers and top skiers in training. For the normal Birkebeiner, it is sufficient to prepare the skis with Swix High Speed.

The HS range is available in both a liquid and solid glide waxes. Liquid wax is the easiest way to ensure better glide.

HS replaces the prior LF.

Swix TS – Top Speed

Swix TS comes in three different forms:

• Swix TSB - Solid

• Swix TSL - Liquid

• Swix TSP - Powder

Swix TSB

TSB, a solid glide wax that melts into the ski base, gives the best result for what we call "transformed snow", also known as "old snow". It is usually found at the end of a skiing season.

Swix TSL – liquid glide wax

TSL, a liquid glide wax, is easy to use but still gives good results. TS Liquid has already been used in the World Cup, where it has beaten old fluorine-containing products in testing.

For best results, use Swix TSL together with Roto Fleece. You can find a video of how this works on this page.

Swix TSP

TSP, a powder, has also been used on skis iat the highest level of competition. TSP works excellently on new and fine snow.

Here is a video of how to heat powder.

Swix TS replaces the prior HF.

Swix Marathon

Marathon has long been a popular choice for long ski trips. The black and white glide wax has become fluorine-free and comes as a powder.

Application with Roro Wool is a new trend in ski prepping, together with the use of Marathon in solid form.
You can find a video on how to use Roto Wool on this page.

Marathon is a fairly hard glide wax that requires high heat on the waxing iron to get it well into the ski base. That’s why we have launched the popular glide wax in powdered form. It simply makes it easier for you to heat into your skis.

Fluoro free grip wax and klister

Most likely, as a hiker or recreational skier, you have always had fluorine-free grip under your skis. The popular V-series, which includes Blue Extra, has never contained fluorine. Even so, World Cup ski races have been won using it! 

Swix V-LINE

The V-series from Swix is one of the most commonly used ski waxes in the world. Here you’ll find grip wax for all skiers! As mentioned, the Swix V-series has never contained fluorine.

Swix VP

Swix VP is a new line of fluoro free grip wax for racing. This grip wax has quickly become a hit, and World Cup has already been held on the new grip wax with its characteristic black tin.

VP replaces the prior VR.

Fluoro free klister

Swix has never made any klister with fluorine. Today’s products are therefore the same as they have always been, but some new klisters have been added to the line.

Swix Nero comprises two new klisters for racing and training. KN33 Nero covers temperatures between +1 and -7 ℃, while KN44 Nero is used between -3 to +4 ℃. These are two klisters that can withstand drier conditions than traditional klister, which reduces the risk of ice and clumping while skiing.

Products for skin skis

Skin skis are not wax-free skis. The skins need cleaning and impregnation and the glide zone requires glide wax as on regular waxing skis.
