Maintenance and Care

To guarantee your product lasts a long time and performs optimally, we recommend regular maintenance and proper care. Here are some simple tips:

1. Pre-Session Checklist

1. Pre-Session Checklist

Before every training session, make sure to:

  • Tighten all screws and fasteners
  • Confirm that bindings are intact and securely mounted
  • Inspect wheels for cracks, cuts, or uneven wear
  • Spin the wheels and listen for unusual noise

Tip: Switch skis between your left and right foot regularly to even out wear and extend wheel life.

2. Cleaning After Use

To keep your skis in great shape:

  • Wipe with a dry cloth after each use to remove dirt and moisture
  • Rinse gently with water if needed (no high-pressure washers or harsh chemicals)
  • Dry thoroughly, especially around wheel bearings to avoid rust

3. Proper Drying

If your skis get wet:

  • Hang them vertically to allow water to drain
  • Place on a heated floor to evaporate moisture
  • Use a hairdryer for quicker drying if necessary
  • If used only on dry asphalt, a wipe with a towel is usually enough

4. Suspension System Maintenance

Comfort and shock absorption depend on a well-maintained suspension:

Follow maintenance routines to preserve elasticity

Apply silicone spray to rubber dampers after every wash

Inspect rubber components regularly – natural rubber wears faster when exposed to road salt, dust, and mud

Follow maintenance routines to preserve Elasticity.

5. Bearing Check

Bearings ensure a smooth, silent ride. Here’s how to monitor them:

Never oil sealed bearings — just replace when worn

Spin the wheels and listen for rumbling or grinding sounds

If wheels don’t spin freely or make noise, the bearings should be replaced

6. Storage

Store your roller skis:

  • In a dry, indoor space at room temperature
  • Away from direct sunlight or humidity
  • Off the floor if possible to allow airflow

7. Full Annual Service

We recommend a complete service at least once per year, depending on how often you use your skis. Frequent training may require more frequent checkups.
