With the new 50 mm broadened Structurite Nordic, structures can be simply grooved even in shaped cross-country skis. With 2 interchangeable structure rollers: broken linear, coarse structure for coarse, icy. Broken linear, fine structure for dry, fine powder.

This is a great structure tool because the rill is pressed, not cut. This means that structuring your ski is almost risk free. Use this as a final application as to not scrape it out while waxing.
With 2 interchangeable structure rollers: broken linear, coarse structure for coarse, icy. Broken linear, fine structure for dry, fine powder snow or cold, fine old snow.

The structure tool is an ideal supplement to the stone grinder. Special snow conditions – mostly extremely warm or extremely cold conditions – demand an appropriately modified base structure. With the Toko Structurite range there is the right solution for all conditions.
As the base of your ski or snowboard glides over the snow, small droplets of water form at the points of contact between base and snow. If the area of contact is too large, friction increases - this can lead to the creation of a large film of water, which in turn can produce a strong vacuum effect. Of course, with a small area of contact and little friction, it can be more difficult to achieve the desired lubricating effect. Base structures can provide the solution in these situations. In order to create an optimal area of contact between ski and snow, a structure is ground into the surface of the base. In racing sports, these structures are tailored to the texture of the surface of the snow on a quite individual basis - whereby they guarantee an optimally gliding ski. The selection criteria: with low temperatures and fine snow crystals a fine structure is needed, so as to maximize the contact area and friction strengths. In warmer temperatures, coarsely grained snow and wet snow demand coarsely grained structures in order to reduce the contact area, thus hindering the unwanted, braking vacuum effect.
