How to choose the right wax: a guide to Maplus lines for every need.
Choosing the right wax isn't just about improving the glide of your skis: it's about maximizing your performance, protecting the base, and ensuring a feeling of control and fluidity on any type of snow.
At Maplus we have developed several product lines to meet everyone's needs—from World Cup ski racers to simple enthusiasts who want to take care of their equipment.
Below is a complete overview of our ranges, to help you find the wax best suited to your conditions, level and type of use.
🟠 XCELERATE PRO – the highest performing range
It is the top Maplus line, chosen by numerous World Cup athletes and by those who live the competition to the hundredth of a second.
Each Xcelerate Pro product is born from a long process of research and field testing, with the aim of offering extreme and consistent performance on all types of snow.
Subcategories:
-
Solid racing waxes: extremely high performance and durability. The first two versions are designed for warmer conditions and are enriched with molybdenum.
The two colder versions, without molybdenum, guarantee maximum grip and stability on slightly colder snow. -
Liquid accelerator: non-flammable, it represents a great innovation for teams and technicians travelling overseas.
The slow drying time allows for optimal adhesion: many technicians apply it in the evening and brush it in the morning to achieve exceptional performance and prolonged wear. -
Cold-cast powders: a smart return to the origins. These new powders recall the products of the fluorine era, when the cold press was a must.
They offer extreme performance and incredible hold over time, thanks to an ultra-fine grain size that allows excellent penetration into the insole.
GM Line – the first “post-fluoride ban” line
The GM line was Maplus's first real response to the FIS ban on fluorinated products.
Over the years it has maintained a very high level of performance, despite a more accessible price today.
-
Solid racing waxes, quick-drying liquid accelerators and iron-based powders: a comprehensive range still used by many World Cup athletes.
It represents the perfect balance between performance, reliability and price for those looking for competition products.
🔵 BP10 – the universal and versatile base
BP10 is a fast and versatile base wax, available in three temperature variants.
It is perfect for both weekly users and high-level technicians looking for a simple yet effective foundation.
Easy to apply and with an excellent quality-price ratio, it is the ideal solution for those who want to start waxing or for those looking for a high-performance base without complications.
⚪ RACING BASE – solid and liquid for all conditions
The Racing Base line completes our offering, with products designed to prepare the base for the most difficult conditions.
-
Arctic Base: very hard solid wax, perfect for cold climates and abrasive snow.
-
Med Base: slightly softer, ideal for cooler temperatures and as an early season base.
-
Soft Base and X-Soft Base: more flexible, perfect for use with electric blankets or for those looking for very soft waxes for saturation.
The real novelty, however, is the Arctic and Soft liquid waxes:
products very easy to use and incredibly fast, with thixotropic properties that allow them to return from a liquid to a solid state once spread on the base.
Practical, economical, and ideal for large quantities of skis, they represent a modern solution for those who don't want to use irons but still seek high performance and great durability.
Always remember to clean the blades after application to ensure the best results.
