The World Cup Classic ski from Salomon is a low camber straight cut ski with long flat wax pocket and a grip factor of .71 to .73. Better grip and glide with new heel to toe classic construction. A new Nomex core, a modified sidecut -- result: easier skiing, better grip. You have a fast hard track, hard wax ski.

The grip factor under ideal conditions, i.e., blue wax/hard track, is achieved with fine tuning of the front end of the wax pocket -- minimize the drag -- if the fit is correct, the drag is low and grip is very positive.
