The v9 FIRE is a skike designed for skating. It is possible to use the v9 FIRE with a fixed heel or with a loosened heel. Skating with a fixed heel is often easier for new-comers and skating with a loosened heel will be very familiar for people who have a background in cross country skiing. The v9 TOUR 200 has the same possibilities as the v9 FIRE, with one extra technique in addition. Its skike TOUR-Multi-Technology. This feature allows for the user to switch seamlessly from skating to classic style (like mountaineering). It makes steep climbs easy and makes almost any journey on land possible.
