*! NEW !* RW Wool-Apply Waxes

The new Rode RW Line is perfect for shorter distance races. Quick acceleration and fast top speeds; everything you expect from a racing top coat! We tested them in the late season last winter including in some racing at Nationals in Canmore. They came out as our race topper for all the races short enough for a wool-apply wax! The range extends from cold, fresh snow, to transforming, glazing, snow, to wet, twenty-degree spring snow. Rode has tested the direct application to the ski base before release, and recommend the application to the wool for applying to the ski.

*! NEW !* Vario Hardwaxes

This new trio of Rode hardwaxes is their answer to the industry's love of klister-mix waxes! Of the main brand's klister-mixes, these were testing the best at Nationals last year! The Violet in particular was gripping on snow that no one would have guessed a hardwax would have gripped on. Many teams who tested the Varios were very, very happy with the results!

*! New !* 70mm Roto Brush System

The new line of 70mm roto brushes for XC racing. The line is complete with a 140mm handle (protection shield optional), short and long hair roto wool, a new steel brush, and the standard soft nylon, hard nylon, and horsehair brushes. Mix and match your 2 favourite 70mm brushes to speed up waxing. Get your athletes skis to the line faster!

Rizzieri Rodeghiero, born on December 5, 1919, displayed an innate fascination with alchemy from a tender age. Growing up in a farming family, and unable to afford formal education, he borrowed chemistry books from a local country pharmacist to craft the essential ski wax for winter adventures. Fond memories linger of young Rizzieri meticulously mixing his early waxes, concocted from resins and natural ingredients, and personally testing them during races.

With his innovative products, he achieved remarkable success, securing seven Italian titles across cross-country and Nordic combined skiing disciplines. His journey led him to represent Italy in the 1948 St. Moritz Olympics. In 1953, he laid the foundation for Rode Skiwax, a company that would go on to become one of the most prosperous in its field. To this day, the company is family owned and operated out of a brand-new factory in Asiago, Italy.
