Start®: Real innovation for real racing

Introducing the 'RG' Wax Line: A Fluor-Free Revolution
Start Ski Wax's "RG" wax line is set to replace the traditional HF (High Fluorocarbon), MF (Medium Fluorocarbon), and LF (Low Fluorocarbon) waxes. This new line offers three distinct products, each designed to meet the needs of various skiing scenarios:
RG-Ultra: RG-Ultra is the ideal choice for prepping race skis. It comes in a variety of forms, including melt wax, liquid, topper gels, and a convenient spray. These products are FAST! We regret not testing them sooner when they ended up being our race wax in essentially every race at the end of the 24-25 season. This comprehensive range ensures that your race skis are prepped to perfection. Explore the RG-Ultra products here.
RG-Race: For those preparing skis for loppets or important training sessions, RG-Race is the answer. It's available in both liquid and melt wax forms, making it versatile and performance-focused. Discover the RG-Race products here.
RG: RG wax replaces traditional LF waxes and is perfect for everyday training. You can choose between melt wax or liquids, making it easy to find the right solution for your needs. Check out the RG products here.

Start Universal Wide Klister (10C/-5C) | 55g
Start Universal Wide: basically all a wax tech needs to hear! This klister is very, very popular for racing. A true universal! Is it the best universal klister on the market? Maybe, but so is every other brand's universal klister. Use it on It's own, mix it, throw it in a wax machine, put it on your toothbrush; those skis will grip whatever you do with it! Universal Wide has a good composition of tar in it to allow it to be a great anti-icing option.

R-Series Kick Waxes:
This trio of grip waxes came out quietly in the 24-25 season. We had no idea the conditions that they were for, nor anything else about them. We were quick to find out that they were universally fast almost as if they were magic! Old snow, new snow, whatever! The Blue and Purple are great options for cold-mild snow below zero degrees. They can grip quite well into snow that is well transformed but also keep snowball free on fresher snow tracks. The Red is perfect for snow around the zero point. When you are testing klisters, throw this into the mix and you will be surprised by the results!
