Salomon RS8 + Shift Binding Ski - 2026

RS8 + Shift Binding Ski delivers lightweight control and easy speed for developing skate skiers

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The RS8 is my go-to for skate training—it’s fast, super light, and the Shift binding makes it easy to dial in my setup depending on conditions or how I’m feeling that day."

We move with purpose on frosty mornings, gliding across firm tracks with precision and control. The RS8 + Shift Binding Ski helps us skate stronger with every stride, giving us the perfect balance of stability and speed while we refine our technique. Whether we´re building endurance or working through interval laps, this setup delivers reliable performance that grows with us.

At the heart of the RS8 is a featherlight Stringer Core, shaped to reduce bulk without compromising strength or torsional stiffness. The result? A ski that holds steady through fast cornering and quick transitions. Paired with the adjustable Prolink Shift binding, we can fine-tune the balance point for more grip or glide, no tools needed. Finished with a World Cup-grade G5 Universal base and stone grinding, this ski glides fast in all snow conditions.
