Elpex F1 Skating Rollerski - Update
May 14, 2004 - By Brian Cook
Brian's review of the Eplex F1 rollerski ran on July 27, 2003. He's had a chance to ski on them a few months - Does he still like them?

Elpex F1 Skating Rollerski
July 27, 2003 - By Brian Cook
I really love my F1s, and I think my form is better with the F1s than my previous skating rollerskis. Here's why I decide to buy the Elpex F1...
  

Jenex Rollerskis

Jenex Aero 100SR Skating Rollerski

Mon, Nov 28, 2005 - by Mike Muha

This is a nice rollerski for folks who want a little more stability than found on the skinnier 22mm wide rollerskis, and who train mainly on smooth pavement.

The New Jenex Universal Rollerski Brake
October 19, 2004 - By James Mannion
When I saw the new brake I was intrigued. It did look to be a bit of a Rube Goldberg contraption on the website. Marty Hall gave it the OK on Jenex's website, so I decided to give it a try. 

Head-to Head: The Aero 125 vs. Aero 150
October 16, 2004 - By Mike Muha
If you weigh less than 165, don't mind pumping up the wheels every time you ski, want wheels that roll over just about anything, but don't need to ski on dirt roads, the 125 is a fine choice.

Has Jenex Fixed the Aero 125 Rollerski Wheel Failure Problem?
September 15, 2003 - By Mike Muha
To prevent tire and tube failures, Jenex recommends pumping the tires up every time you ski, that the pressure must be 85 PSI, and that you not weigh more than 165 lbs. 

Jenex Aero 125 S Skating Rollerski
September 15, 2003 - By Jim Hull
The 125's rough trail ability, low tire cost, and effective speed reducers are a winning combination.

800 Miles Later: A V2 Aero 150S Update
December 18, 2002 - By Mike Muha
I recently had to replace one of my V2 Aero 150S wheels. Using a conservative estimate, that's over 800 miles or 1,300 kilometers. What implications does this have for the total cost of ownership for a V2 Aero?

The Perfect Rollerski? The V2 Aero 150S
July 22, 2002 - by Mike Muha
Over the years, I've owned at least seven pairs of rollerskis of various makes and models, and I've tried numerous others. The V2 Aero skating rollerski from Jenex comes closest to my idea of the perfect skating-only rollerski.

V2 Aero Rollerski Buzz
Dec 6, 2001 - By Mike Muha
There's quite a buzz about the Jenex V2 Aero rollerski. I haven't had an opportunity to ski a pair yet, but I have seen them used and talked to people who own them. Here's some background and a couple stories.
  

Marwe

The Marwe 610 Skate Rollerski

Thu, Jul 14, 2005 - By Jim Howe

I have had my Marwe 610 rollerskis for about 3 weeks and I have skied about 150kms. I have found these freestyle rollerskis simulate the real thing better than other rollerskis I have used. 
 
Pro-Ski Rollerskis
 
The Pro-Ski S3, One Year Later 
June 20, 2004 - By Mike Muha
I was skiing at Forbush Corner on nicely groomed skating trails early last winter and thought to myself, "This feels just like rollerskiing on my S3's!"

Pro-Ski S2 Skating Rollerski: Zoom Zoom! 
September 18, 2003 - By Mike Muha
If you have smooth pavement, like to go fast, or struggle with your V2 and V2-alternate, this is the ski for you! The durable polyurethane wheels should keep to long term cost of ownership to a minimum.

Pro-Ski C2 Classic Rollerski 
August 8, 2003 - By Mike Muha
I like the Pro-Ski C2 Classic Rollerski. It's better over the bumps than my current rollerskis, has much better rain fenders, feels more stable, and allegedly has better wheel durability. They could be a little lighter, but they'll do.

Pro-Ski S3 & Jenex Aero 150S Shootout 
July 20, 2003 - By Mike Muha
Because the Pro-Ski S3 is a little slower than the Jenex Aero 150S but offers better stability, almost equal ability to roll over obstacles on paved trails, fenders, and some speed control on downhills via snowplowing, the S3 very closely matches what I look for in a rollerski. And they're really fun to ski on!

I have used a lot of classic rollerskis, and over the last several years have found that the Ski Skett Nord classic models are light, flexible, come in a variety of wheel speeds/durometers, and handle incredibly well.
 
Ski Skett Shark Skate Rollerski 
August 14, 2004 - By Mike Muha
The Shark rolls nicely, handles the bumps, tracks well, and has a ski-like speed. Snowplowing is passable. I particularly like the lightness of these skis! Overall, the Shark is a great alternative for people skiing on smooth to medium-rough pavement.
