| Our Saga WILDER: |
Our Wilder range has 3 skis with different widths: 85 / 95 / 102 to offer a skate width for every type of cross-country skier.
The Wilder 85, which remains the most versatile width for all types of terrain, is the ideal ski for beginning cross-country skiing off the beaten track.
The Wilder 95, with its straighter lines for maximum grip on overhangs and steep slopes.
The Wilder 102, for freeriders looking for valleys. |

| BINDINGS |
Cross-country ski bindings with Tyrolia Almonte 12 insert.
Weight:325 g (with ski brakes)
60 mm adjustment range.
DIN adjustment on the rear stop: from 5 to 12.
If you want to remove the ski brake, you need to remove the rear cleat from the binding, remove the ski brake and put a plastic piece in place that provides good support on the binding. (Choose among three levels of thickness, the one that best fits the thickness of your boot) |
| Ascent / Descent bindings |
Ascent:
To lock the ski brake, turn towards the right and a quarter turn of the rear stop, then press with the boot on the plastic part.
You can easily switch between the three riser positions (one flat and two climbing positions) using a ski pole and without taking the boots out of the bindings. The stiffer the slope, the higher the cleats.
Descent: Return to the initial position of the rear stop, by making a reverse quarter turn. |
| Binding adjustment: |
Tyrolia Almonte bindings are compatible with insert ski boots.
Ski length = 175 cm / Binding adjustment for boot length from 262 to 320 mm
Ski length = 185 cm / Binding adjustment for boot length from 282 to 340 mm
A Philips screwdriver is needed for adjustment. We recommend opting for adjustments made in the shop to ensure the correct distance between the back of your boot and the binding |
| Ski skins |
The skins are precut to fit the sidecuts of the skis. They are made of 70% mohair and 30% synthetic materials – the ideal compromise in terms of gliding performance (when climbing in order to save energy) and grip (when climbing to avoid backsliding).The skins are fitted with a metal clip on the front to fit most ski tips and an adjustable camlock on the back to fasten the skin to the tail of the ski. It is important to dry your skins thoroughly in the open air |
| Structure |
Made from Paulownia carbon: the WILDER 102 is made from high-quality materials, combining the light weight of Paulownia wood with the durability of carbon. This combination provides both solid and extremely light skis, ideal for free cross-country skiers who favour efficiency during fast climbs in the mountains, without compromising on lift. |
| Durability |
Semi-cap construction to avoid chipping your skis when they cross.
Predominantly black soles for excellent glide and easy repairs. |
| Preparation |
Ready-to-use waxed and sharpened skis. Edges sharpened to 89° |
| What is the rocker? |
When placing a ski on the ground, its points of contact are found near the nose and tail, whereas the middle of the ski (under the bindings) is slightly raised (this is the camber). The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the ski and the better the handling. |
| WHAT IS A ROCKER? |
On a "rocker" ski, the nose, and sometimes the tail, comes off the ground much sooner than with a cambered ski. This moves the points of contact towards the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened: they have better handling and more buoyancy on soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski. |
| What are ski sidecuts? |
The sidecut is determined by 3 measurements: the width of the tip (front of the ski), the waist (middle of ski) and tail (back of ski). The wider the tip, the easier the turn entry. The narrower the waist, the stronger the grip in hard snow. The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable in different snow conditions. |
| How do I choose my ski size? |
The shorter the skis, the more manoeuvrable they are.
That's why less adventurous skiers should choose shorter skis.
For ski touring, we generally recommend you choose skis:
between 5 cm and 10 cm less than your height. The heavier or more powerful you are, the longer your ski can be.
For free cross-country use, it can be raised up to 5 cm above the waist. |
| Pack |
Complete pack: the WILDER 102 is sold as a full pack, including cross-country bindings and high-quality skins. The bindings have been carefully selected to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with the ski, providing precise control and comfort when climbing.
