There is a lot more to learn about skiing than is written in bright big letters on its surface. The ability to read information on skis will help you choose the right skis in the store and not be deceived when buying used skis. We'll tell you all about Fischer ski numbers in this article.

Serial number of Fischer skis: transcript

On the sidewall of Fischer skis, in the area of ​​the anchorage heel, there is a serial number that all amateur skiers want to decipher. There are even those who are looking for a sacred meaning in these numbers. In fact, everything is simple in the room, as in the number of any other product.

187/1450688580 031

• 187 - ski length in cm
• 14 - year of manufacture (2013)
• 5 - hardness (4 - soft, 5 - medium, 6 - stiff)
• 06 - serial number of the week of issue from the beginning of the calendar year
• 88580 - ski serial number
• 031 - stiffness index (FA).

Since 2016, the number of skis is of this type 191/1653513931 without stiffness index. The sizes of the top skating models have decreased by 1 cm, and the FA index is written on a sticker with a barcode. An example in the photo is FA 80.

And this is how the sticker of the "sports shop" skis looks like with more detailed information. What these indicators mean will be discussed below.

On Fischer skis 2019-2020, the number is inscribed in the area of ​​the IFP platform. It seems that the place was specially chosen so that the number was hidden when installing the fasteners on the screws.

Fischer ski structures, diagrams and ski bases for weather and track density

On the ski toe on the side of the sliding surface, you can find two designations, for example: 28 / 1Q or 28/902 or A5 / 610. These designations contain information about the base of the slide and the design of the skis.

Fischer bases (sliding surfaces)

The sliding surface markings can be found on the slide on the toe of the ski. The structure is also marked there.

• A5- a universal base for cold temperatures from -5C and below. Stands on skis marked Cold, factory structure code C1-1.
• 28 - universal warm base at t -10C and above. Suitable for all types of snow, stands on skis with the Plus mark. Since the 17/18 season, it has become more versatile: -10 and warmer, against the old one from -2 and warmer. The factory structure code remains the same - P5-1.

Skis Speedmax, Carbonlite, RCS:

• Worldcup 28 (Plus) - 10% Graphite
• Worldcup A5 (Cold) - 4.5% Graphite

Skis RCR, SCS, CRS, SC:

• Worldcup pro - 7.5% graphite
• Protec - 7.5% graphite

LS skis:

• Sintec - 3.5% graphite

Fischer ski plots

Skate ski constructions

• 115 (15/11) - construction for a well-prepared and icy track. The fulcrum points are closer to the toe and heel of the ski. This arrangement increases the stability of the ski. It is especially relevant on an unprepared ice track and with a lack of technology. The main disadvantages: "sticking" the ski and "burying" in loose snow.
• 610 (61Q, 1Q)- construction for a well-prepared and soft track. The anchorage points are brought closer to the last, which makes the ski toe and heel softer. This design allows the ski not to "stick" or bury itself in loose snow. The main disadvantages: "scour" the icy track with a lack of technology.

Classic ski constructions

• 902 (90 / 9Q2)- construction for soft and loose track. Similar to the ridge 610 / 1Q, i.e. has soft toes and heels. The shoe is positioned lower than the 812 and makes it easier to hold in difficult weather conditions. The main disadvantage: due to the low location of the holding zone, the ointment will disappear faster.
• 90L- a kind of design 902. It has a higher arc, i.e. the block is raised higher. It is found on skis from a special order, and since 2018 it has been used in Speedmax Twin Skin skis (but the marking is still 9Q2).
• 812 (81 / 8Q2)- universal classic design. The standard pad position retains the holding ointment longer, but requires more momentum to push.

Fischer ski structures

The most common structures are P5-1 and C1-1. They are, according to manufacturers, the most popular at the World Cup.

Applying structure to skis is a delicate matter. To replicate the structure, there must be the same equipment, the same grinding stone, the same emulsion, etc. Real racing Fisher structures only roll in Reed. The structures P5-1 (Plus or universal warm) and C1-1 (Cold or universal cold) are applied to the skis.

Below is a complete list of structures used and used by Fischer. A similar list is circulating on the Internet, but in this list we have adjusted the temperature ranges as of the 17/18 season. If you have something to add to this list, write in the comments.

Fischer Structures

• P10-1 for dry snow at temperatures below 0
• C1-1 all types of snow, including fresh, temperatures below -5

• S13-6 structure for rainy weather
• S13-5-08 option for very wet fresh snow
• S11-1 dry snow at t -10 -20

• S12-2-07 for fresh snow and soft trails 0 -10
• S12-3 fresh snow at t -2 -6
• S13-6 sleet with rain, rain

Indicators FA, HR, SVZ: what is it and how to find out through the ski barcode

Such markings are not found on all skis, but only on those specially selected for a professional or by pre-order. That is, at the “special shop” or “sports shop”, as our skiers like to call it. We wrote in more detail about the existence of a special or sports workshop in the article.

If you have skis in front of you without a sticker, then these indicators can be easily recognized. Put any QR code scanner on your smartphone, launch it and read the barcode while skiing. The program will give something like 2.7 - 98.3, if this information does not come out, then try to read another barcode. For example, we got 2.7 - 98.3, that is, the HR of the ski is 2.7, the exact FA is 98.3. Do not be surprised that the sticker may say FA 98 or even 97. Skis are not produced in pairs, they are assembled in pairs only later and such discrepancies are within the margin of error.

On the skis of the 2019-2020 season, there is a sticker of this type. It already has a QR code on it to read all information about the skis: barcode number, full ski number with size, HR and FA.

After reading, you get a number of this type, where

• 9002972387616 - barcode number
• 186/1865078755 - number that is knocked out on skis
• 2.2 - HR
• 90 - FA

• HR- clearance in millimeters, which remains after pressing on the ski half the weight of the average skier. The load is applied to the ski 7 cm below the balance point. The remaining gap is HR. Simply put, it is the stiffness of the toes and heels of the ski. For example, if you take skis with the same FA, but different HR, a ski with a high HR will push more evenly, and with a lower HR it will be easy at first, but it will be more difficult to push. With a high HR - a large arc, a more curved ski, with a lower HR - a smaller arc, the block is closer to the track in the rolling phase. Low lasting is especially important for inexperienced skiers. In the classics, it will make it easier to hold, and in the skate, it will improve stability at the box office.
• SVZ- a characteristic showing how much the ski differs from the ideal ratio of HR and FA. The value is used in production to check the quality and the selection of skis in pairs. When choosing a pair of skis for yourself, the indicator does not matter.
• FA(stiffness index) is the amount kilogram, which need to be applied 7 cm below the balance point, to compress the ski to a clearance of 0.2 mm.

Why FA and not specific weight? The FA index is a characteristic of a ski, not an athlete. Using this parameter, a specialist can select skis for a specific athlete. The same ski can fit 70 kg for a professional skier and 90 kg for an amateur. At the same time, both will be comfortable and the skis will work as they should. It is more difficult to pick up with FA than by kilograms, but if you figure it out, the selection of skis will be better.

Fischer FA ski stiffness table.

• Cold models have A5 sliding surface - universal cold base at t -2C and below (factory structure code C1-1)
• Plus, S-track, Zero models have a sliding surface 28 - a universal warm base at t -10 C and above (-5C and above until the 15-16 season). Factory structure code unchanged - P5-1
• 30 warm base light base on old, wet snow.

Fischer ski constructions:

115 - Versatile design for well-prepared and icy trails, providing the best stability and control. The fulcrum (peaks of the diagram) are sharp, located closer to the toe and heel of the ski. This arrangement increases the stability of the ski. The main disadvantages: "sticking" the ski and "burying" in loose snow.

610 (61Q) - Versatile construction for well-prepared and soft trails, The fulcrum is brought closer to the last for a softer toe and heel. This design allows the ski not to "stick" or bury itself in loose snow. The main disadvantages: "prowl" on a hard track and with a lack of technology.

812 (81) - versatile classic design

902 (90) - ski construction for soft, poorly prepared, loose track. Provides excellent glide and confident take-off in loose trail conditions.

Fischer Speedmax. Skis differ from others in Cold Base Bonding technology - cold bonding of plastic. So the plastic does not deform due to temperature changes (does not go in waves), does not change its structure, glides better, and absorbs grease better. With this technology, the ski requires less sanding and sliding surface stays thicker, allowing more treatments during use.

Weight of skis - 1030g. (186cm), ski profile 41-44-44.

There are 3 types of ridge skates:

• Skate Cold (610 / 1Q)
• Skate Plus (610 / 1Q)
• Skate C-Special (610 / 1Q)

4 classic pairs:

• Classic Plus (902 / 9Q2)
• Classic Plus (812 / 8Q2)
• Classic Cold (812 / 8Q2)
• Zero + (902 / 8Q2)

1 pair for double polishing:

• Double Poling (DP)

Fischer Сarbonlite Are some of the lightest skis in the world. Their weight is only 980g. (186cm). Carbon fiber toe and heel. Honeycomb core, the walls of the ski are made of honeycombs, standing perpendicularly. This design gives more rigidity to the ski without adding weight.

There are 2 types of ridge skates:

• Skate Cold (610 / 1Q)
• Skate H-Plus (115/15)

And 1 classic pair:

• Classic Plus (812 / 8Q2)

FischerRCS- Plastic, structures and constructions are the same as on the uppermost models. The key difference is that the RCS is heavier than the top models. Their weight is 1090 grams. (187 / 197cm)

1 pair of ridge skates is produced:

• Skate Plus (115/15)

And 2 pairs of classic ones:

• Classic Plus (812 / 8Q2)
• Zero + (902 / 9Q2)

FischerRCR- skis for active amateurs. Perfect for ski marathon lovers who run for fun, not for results. The sliding surface is the same WC Plus as on RCS, Carbonlite, but the skis themselves are a little heavier - 1190 gr. The new universal Plus structure is applied at -10 and warmer. Ski construction only 115.

• RCR Skate - 1190 gr. (115)

SCS, CRS, SC models

Skis Fischer SCS and below are designed for recreational skiing "weekend". All 115 have a design that is more stable and comfortable for a person with weak equipment. A sliding surface made of less quality plastic. Also, these skis are much heavier than the upper models:

• SCS - 1270 gr.
• CRS - 1320 gr.
• SC - 1360 gr.

Fischer LS (low segment)- the initial model of skis. Full wood core with air channels. From season 17/18, skis will be produced with and without IFP.

Fischer TwinSkin- a series of classic skis that do not require holding ointment. A special mohair camus is inserted into the block, which clings to the snow in one direction and does not interfere with sliding in the other.

There are 3 options:

• TwinSkin Carbon - 1080g (902 / 9Q2 construction)
• TwinSkin Race - 1190 gr., (Construction 812 / 8Q2)
• TwinSkin Pro - 1330 gr.

The difference is, as usual, in the slip and weight, there are differences in the TwinSkin material. The Carbon skis have a top-end WC Plus slide, a lightweight core and a TwinSkin made from 100% mohair. Carbon also has a smaller last for improved glide, which will give an advantage to skiers with good technique. These skis can be used on winter classic marathons. Race and Pro are heavier skis with skids like the SCS and below. In the Pro version, the TwinSkin consists of a mixture of mohair and synthetic fibers. Race and Pro are best used only for training and walking.

Fischer Zero +

A special line of classic skis for difficult weather conditions - at temperatures around 0 degrees with drops from -3 to +3 degrees. The peculiarity of skis is that they do not require holding ointments. The pad area is made of a special material, the length of which can be adjusted. Elongated with fine sandpaper, shortened with paraffin. The model is great for spring marathons and loppets.

The ruler consists of 2 pairs. Both have top-end sliding surfaces and 902 / 9Q2 construction. The only difference is in the weight of the skis and the way the plastic is glued.

• Speedmax Zero + (1030 gr., Design 902 / 9Q2)
• RCS Zero + (1090 gr., Design 902 / 9Q2)

FISCHER SKI SLIDING STRUCTURE

It is not possible to reproduce the same grinding grinding on two different machines. There must be the same stone, the same diamond, the same water used for flushing. This means that real Fischer structures can only be made at the Fischer factory, and at the moment such an opportunity is available only to members of national teams participating in the World Cup stages. On stock skis, structures P5-1 (universal warm, previously P1-1) and C1-1 (universal cold) are applied. They are also most often used by World Cup level racers. Highly specialized structures are less common.

• P10-1 for dry snow at temperatures below 0 ° С
• C1-1 all types of snow, including fresh, temperatures below -5 ° С
• S3-1 for artificial snow, temperature below -5 ° С
• S8-1 narrower structure for artificial snow from 0 ° С ...- 10 ° С
• S12-1 any type of snow, -5 ° С ...- 15 ° С
• P1-1 temperature + 3 ° С ...- 5 ° С, fresh snow
• P3-1 structure on fresh snow, for temperatures above 0 ° С
• P3-2 on old wet snow
• P3-3 watery snow, from + 5 ° С and above
• P5-0 dry fine snow from 0 ° С ...- 5 ° С
• P5-9 structure for classic skis on old wet snow, temperatures from 0 ° C and above
• TZ1-1 structure on fresh snow at temperatures below 0 ° С
• P5-1 universal structure for temperatures from + 5 ° С ...- 10 ° С, any type of snow
• P22-6 transitional structure for any type of snow, temperature from + 5 ° С ...- 5 ° С

HARDNESS INDEX FA, HR, SVZ

HR-gap in millimeters, which remains after pressing on the ski half the weight of the average skier. The load is applied to the ski 7 cm below the balance point. The remaining gap is HR. Simply put, it is the stiffness of the toes and heels of the ski.

SVZ- a characteristic showing how much the ski differs from the ideal ratio of HR and FA. The value is used in production to check the quality of the selection of skis in pairs. When choosing a pair of skis for yourself, the indicator does not matter.

Stiffness index FA Is the maximum load, measured in kilograms, applied 7 cm below the balance point, compressing the ski to a gap of 0.2 millimeters (the thickness of the ointment layer).

For each athlete's weight, depending on the qualifications, technical features and the condition of the track, there is a fairly wide range of the stiffness index with a spread of ten units.

optimal selection for skating: skier's weight + 15 - 25%. 15% for soft tracks. 25% for tight.

optimal selection for classic move: weight / 2.

The index is indicated in the production barcode and on the side of the ski - three digits, standing in a small interval from the serial number. (for models of the season 15/16, the index is indicated on a separate sticker, 17/18 - on the general production sticker).

The serial number of the pair is indicated on the side of the ski (picture below):

202/1353513931 043

202 - ski length in cm

13 - year of manufacture (2013)

5 - hardness (4 - soft, 5 - medium, 6 - stiff)

35 - serial number of the week of issue from the beginning of the calendar year

13931 - ski serial number

043 - stiffness index (FA)

For skis of the 17-18 season, the selection is carried out according to this table:

The top ski segment is produced only in Austria (from RCR to Speedmax), junior Speedmax and Carbonlite. Austrian skiing says "Made in Austria". “Austria” is written on Ukrainian skis.

Sports shop skis and pre-order.

There are 2 myths. The first is spread by the manufacturers: there is no sports shop, the same skis are sold in ordinary stores, on which they actually win. high level... The second myth (closer to the truth) is spread by sellers: there is a sports shop. This is how skis "from under the collection" appear, designed for 100 kg of an athlete, or pre-order offers, when shop skis will be "made" directly for you.

Fischer certainly has a racing department. Individual changes in the production of skis at the request of the riders are made to the design. But this only applies to the riders of the world elite. The shop ski label contains more information for selection, and servicemen from year to year know which skis a particular athlete uses. But in any case, all other things being equal, they have to roll back their skis every time, and only tests on the snow can show which pair of skis works in this weather, in this place. Shop skis that fail the tests will certainly end up in the stock. Who will sell a perfectly working pair with a large residual resource (and not a "standing" one, re-grinded and burned out many times) ???

Pre-ordered skis - selection from the stock for your parameters, there can be no question of individual production. Exactly the same as in the store, just matched. On skis there will be a special sticker on which you can see all the measurements skis, not just FA.

In the 2017-2018 season

• Starting from the 2017-2018 season, the IFP platform is installed on the Fischer and Rossignol skis instead of the NIS.
• The structure of the P5-1, which is applied to the Plus skis, has changed and is more versatile. Instead of -5 and warmer, it became from -10 to +5.

In the 2019-2020 season

• 3D Gliding Sidewall- sliding side surface, which is lubricated with a special liquid. According to the assurances of the manufacturers, it reduces the friction of the sidewalls of the skis on the snow. The walls are made of the same plastic as the sliding surface, but thinner. You can even apply the structure with knurls.
• All racing models (RCS, Carbonlite and Speedmax) are manufactured using the technology cold gluing... Previously, the technology was only used on Speedmax skis.
• Now Speedmax and Carbonlite have the same core - Air Core HM Carbon. The Air Core Carbonlite core no longer exists, so the skis Carbonlite is 80g heavier.
• The toes and heels of the skis are no longer made of carbon, it is only in the laminate.
• The popular 610 / 1Q design remains only on the Speedmax.
• CRS model on Russian market comes with Russialoppet name and branding. Positioned as the best option for amateurs and first marathons.

Fischer lineup for the 2019-2020 season

Fischer Speedmax 3D

The Speedmax skis are the top model of the brand, which appeared in 2013. The first skis on the market to be produced using cold bonding technology. It is on these skis that most of the elite skiers at the World Cup run. Since 2019, Carbonlite and RCS have joined cold bonding. What is the essence of cold gluing?

Traditionally, skis are made like this:

1. The ski is collected in a special cassette
2. The assembled components of the future ski enter the press, where they are "baked" under high pressure and temperature, and the result is a finished ski.
3. Then comes trimming, sanding and varnishing.

The Speedmax skis go through the same manufacturing steps, but without the plastic sliding surface. The slipper is glued by hand after all procedures. According to the manufacturers, this protects the plastic from deformation. It does not change its structure, it glides better, and absorbs grease better. The technology is called Cold Base Bonding. According to rumors, the idea was born out of the need to update the plastic while preserving the core of the ski.

Main technologies:

• 3D - sliding side surfaces
• Air Core HM Carbon
• Base World Cup Plus / Cold

Speedmax 3D Skate. All skating speedmaxes have 610 designs, but different bases and structures.

A slightly simplified version of Speedmax. They do not have 3D technology and weigh a little more than the older model. Carbonlite was one of the lightest skis in the world, but with the transition to cold gluing technology, they became 80 g heavier - 1060 instead of 980 g. The toe and heel are no longer made of carbon, it is only in the laminate. The core has also changed - the honeycomb structure of the side walls has been removed. The Carbonlite line was limited in the choice of designs and bases. Now there are only 115 skating designs, and 812 on the classic ones.

Main technologies:

• Cold bonding of the sliding surface
• Air Core HM Carbon
• Base World Cup Plus / Cold

Carbonlite Skate. Weight 1060 g (were 980 g) with a size of 186 cm.Length - 171-191 cm.

• Carbonlite Skate Cold (115/15)
• Carbonlite Skate Plus (115/15)

Carbonlite Classic. Weight 1030 g (were 980 g) with a size of 197 cm.Length - 187-207 cm.

• Carbonlite Classic Plus (812 / 8Q2)

Fischer workshop skis: is there a sports workshop?

In Russia they like to “get hold of” something exclusive, secret, inaccessible to anyone. Either we have such a mentality, or the times of scarcity are remembered. But rumors about some kind of separate sports workshop, where skis are made, inaccessible to mere mortals, are still circulating. The need to buy skis from the collection creates Brownian movement in the Russian ski market 🙂

There is no special sports workshop. Sports shop is just the name of skis that have undergone a more careful selection for rigidity. All skis are made from the same material and equipment. There is a racing department that produces experimental designs and structures (Rennski). Simply put, this is a development bureau, a scientific group. These skis are not better than others, they are just experimental. They are rolled back by elite skiers and discarded. The “sports shop” that goes to amateur skiers from under the athlete is most often unnecessary pairs. Who will sell their combat skis?

There is a pre-order function - this is an individual selection of skis for the given parameters. From the total mass, skis are selected that are most suitable in a pair and correspond to the parameters of the skier. A special sticker is applied with ski measurements. This procedure can be done in any good outfit center. And the indicators can be read from the ski barcode with an ordinary smartphone.

About Rennski and the “sports shop” from Maxim Tartynsky.

Where are Fischer skis made?

The controversy about the country of production of Fischer skis has not subsided for many years. There is always someone who reveals the secret of Speedmax production in Mukachevo (Ukraine). Determining the country of origin is simple: on Austrian skis it is written Made in Austria, in Ukrainian - Austria... If you look at the sticker with a barcode, then it says so: Made in Ukraine or Made in Austria.

The Fischer racing segment is produced only in Austria, children's Speedmax and Carbonlite. The rest are in Mukachevo. Both factories supply skis all over the world.

In the world market, Fischer skis occupy a leading position. They are popular in Russia and other CIS countries. The fixtures are different high quality, using the latest materials, and also at a considerable price. They are used by leading athletes and amateurs actively involved in skiing.

About the manufacturer

Fischer was founded back in 1924 by the then little-known carpenter Josef Fischer. The first production hall was erected in the city of Riede (Austria). Initially, the company produced various joinery products. Fischer cross-country and downhill skis began to be produced only in 1934. Now the corporation occupies a leading position in the manufacture of relevant products in the world.

In the domestic market, professional samples of this brand are also a priority. In addition, the company produces ski poles, boots, special clothing and sports accessories. The main product line consists of training, recreational, racing and alpine skis.

Marking

Designations are placed on the toe of the skis and on their lateral surface. In the first case, these are two digits. One of them indicates the type of sliding surface. The cold type is marked with the A5 symbol, and the warm - 28. The second marker indicates the design features. Skis Fischer 610 (610Q) are focused on a soft prepared type of track. The 115 (1Q) version is intended for hard and icy areas. A number of numbers are also printed on the side surface. The first of them denotes the height group in centimeters, the second - the year of production. The next number indicates the hardness (can be 6, 5 or 4 - stiff / medium / hard). The next five digits correspond to the batch number, and the last index is the stiffness indicator.

Peculiarities

The range of thermal loads that Fischer skis have is divided into two categories, namely:

• Cold type (Cold) is intended for use at temperatures below -5 degrees Celsius.
• Warm class (Plus) is designed for higher temperature operation.

In fact, the second type is considered more versatile. The devices have a soft base, which makes it possible to achieve optimal glide on soft tracks with a high humidity index. In harsh weather, they can be adjusted by rubbing with paraffin or special knurls. Cold counterparts on soft snow will slide worse, and with frost below five degrees, this indicator is almost the same.

Reinforced piping provides high directional stability, while additional inserts on the heels and toes increase durability and rigidity. Additionally, a core is used, consisting of a material with the inclusion of volcanic basalt elements. The weight of a pair with a length of 1.87 meters is 1.27 kilograms.

They are intended for use by novice athletes, young skiers and other people who enjoy ordinary skiing on such a device. High-quality, but simple components and materials are used in the manufacture. This approach ensures the preservation of the required speed qualities in combination with an acceptable price. Among the tourist options, the following modifications stand out:

• SC - the pair has a mass of 1.38 kilograms and a length of 1.87 meters.
