Nartorolki Skike V9 Fire 200 - all you need to know! 

Odkrył, poprawił coś czego nie było?

Thank you for your question about the differences between Skike V9 Tour and V9 Fire models. I'll be happy to explain the key distinctions. The main difference lies in the platform construction - V9 Tour has a movable front part with a hinge, while V9 Fire has a fixed platform. Another important aspect is the rail length, with V9 Tour's rail being 3 cm longer than the Fire model. When it comes to skiing technique, V9 Tour allows for a full classic cross-country skiing stride, whereas V9 Fire is better suited for skating style, with limited classic technique options. In terms of versatility, V9 Tour is more adaptable, allowing both classic and skating styles, while V9 Fire is mainly designed for skating style and short climbs. It's worth noting that V9 Tour is the more expensive model. An interesting feature of V9 Tour is that it can be converted to a Fire model using an included kit. Both versions are available with 150 mm and 200 mm wheels, with the larger 200 mm wheels being more versatile and better suited for rougher terrain. I hope this information helps you make an informed decision. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Excellent! Thank you for the response. When you say the Tour can be converted to the Fire with the included kit how does that work if the rail is 3 cm longer? Are you talking about a feature allowing the heel to be locked down? I saw a video where someone briefly mentioned that. Is there a way to actually lock the heel totally down like a downhill ski binding locks the boot down? Also, do one or both wheels in both models only spin in the forward direction? Lastly, are you the manufacturer or a dealer that these can be purchased from? If so what is your website? Thanks again!

@@joes8907 Thank you for your follow-up questions. I'm happy to provide more details about the Skike V9 Tour and Fire models. You're correct that the Tour model's rail is 3 cm longer than the Fire. The conversion kit doesn't change this length, but it allows you to lock the front platform, mimicking the Fire's fixed platform functionality. Regarding heel locking, both Tour and Fire models have a system that can lock the heel down. This isn't exactly like a downhill ski binding, but it provides stability for classic skiing technique. The heel can be set to "free" for skating or "fixed" for classic style. I'd like to clarify the information about wheel rotation. Both Skike V9 Tour and V9 Fire models come standard with two one-way bearings installed in the front wheel. This system allows you to lock the reverse motion of the front wheel, which is particularly useful when climbing hills or using the classic technique. Additionally, you can apply this one-way bearing system to the rear wheel by purchasing additional one-way bearings. This option gives users greater versatility and control over their cross-skates, allowing for reverse motion blocking on all wheels depending on terrain and personal preference. I'm not the manufacturer, but a marketing expert for Cross-Skating.pl, an authorized dealer for Skike products.

Thanks again! I see your website but of course I do not understand the language. I tried the English conversion button not enough words change to make sense. I did send an email using the address provided in hopes that some direct communication that way might make it possible for me to make a decision and possibly a purchase. Thanks again for these responses. It shows outstanding customer service and a company that I would buy from.

@@CrossSkatingThanks for the English summary! Are 200 mm wheels more difficult for beginners?

TAK. W zestawie jest adapter który unieruchamia piętę - czego ogólnie nie polecam, bo to jakby upośledzanie sprzętu i możliwości użytkownika - ale, tak - jest taka możliwość

@@CrossSkatingdziś testowałem - ogólnie zastanawiam się nad zakupem - ale model na którym jeździłem miał nieruchomą piętę - kierować się tym przed zakupem? Duża różnice w sprzęcie i jakości daje właśnie ruchoma pięta? Pozdrawiam.

@@gabrielbroda9466 ruchoma pięta - zmienia wszystko!! Od możliwości w terenie, po poprawne oddanie techniki. Innymi słowy brak - upośledza. Posiadanie ruchomej pięty i jednokierunkowego łożyska - zmienia sprzęt w "dla każdego", w każdym terenie.
