Tue, Sep 28, 2010 - By Mike Muha
Italian ski wax and rollerski maker Briko-Maplus provide rollerskis to many national ski teams, include the US and Canadian teams. The North American distributor, Innovation Incorporated, sells the Briko-Maplus line through its web site http://www.maplus.com/US-Rollerskis.html. There's a lightweight three-wheel classic ski (the Tris), speed reducers are available on some classic models, and there are a couple very fast skate ski models for those looking to put the hurt on their bicycling buddies.
The web site also sells a complete line of spare parts, including forks, splash guards, bearings, wheels, bushings, etc.
