When you re going down hill, you re just gliding and carving turns as if on downhill skis. We offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, and we will refund the purchase price if for any reason our skates do not meet your expectations. A12 Crosskate BackCountry skates have dual cable activated disc brakes one in the rear wheel of each skate. When you lean your ankles back, a cable is pulled which causes calipers inside the rear wheel to grab the brake disc. Stopping power is similar to a mountain bike when the technique is mastered.
Brakes are easily adjustable, and can even beset at a certain resistance level for long descents.
See Q2 for more details and check out the video. It s our unique steering system that lets you carve turns as if you were using shape skis. When you lean, you turn. It s accomplished through a carefully engineered linkage tucked away inside the front wheel. This system also includes an air filled damping system to provide crisp predictable handling at high speed.
