Control Your Speed and Save Your Wheels with the FF Universal Skate Brake
FF Universal Skate Brake. The world's lightest (20g) brake system that improves wheel life instead of destroying it. This Norwegian-engineered, pole-activated brake fits major brands like IDT and Swenor, giving you total control on steep descents without compromising swing weight.

The Problem I Had to Solve
I refused to accept that safety meant carrying a heavy anchor on your ski. Traditional rollerski brakes are bulky, weighing anywhere from 150g to 400g. They destroy the balance of the ski and ruin your technique. Even worse, typical brakes work by grinding flat spots into your expensive polyurethane wheels, causing vibration and forcing you to buy replacements constantly. I needed a system that was invisible until you needed it—and one that actually respected the equipment.
Why Our “Wheel Forging” Tech Changes Everything
We engineered the FF Universal Skate Brake to solve the trade-off between safety and performance. We didn’t just make a brake; we created a wheel-maintenance system.
- Ultralight 20g Design: You will forget it is there. It has zero impact on swing weight or aerodynamics.
- Pole Activation: No awkward calf movements. Simply apply pressure with your pole to the fender for intuitive, balanced braking.
- Wheel Forging Technology: Instead of grinding flat spots, our friction material “forges” and reshapes the rubber. This keeps the wheel round and lowers rolling resistance.
- Universal Compatibility: I designed this to fit not just FF skis, but to upgrade your current setup. It fits IDT, Swenor, Fischer, Swix, Elpex, and Marwe.
- Wet Asphalt Grip: By constantly polishing the wheel surface, the brake ensures fresh rubber contact for superior grip in rain.
FF vs. Traditional Brakes

| Feature | FF Universal Skate Brake | Traditional Rollerski Brakes |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 20 grams (Ultralight) | 150g – 400g (Heavy) |
| Wheel Impact | Reshapes and protects rubber | Causes flat spots and vibration |
| Activation | Natural pole touch | Complex calf/foot movement |
| Aerodynamics | Invisible to the wind | Bulky and drag-inducing |
“I have tested the FF products extensively. The innovation in safety and ski-feel is unlike anything else on the market. It is simply the best I have ever tried.”
