Check the Waxtip page at www.TokoUS.com before all of your races for the latest waxing information.
The Toko Race Wax Tips offer racers precise waxing advice on how to make your skis perform optimally for a given
event. For racers who don’t have top end waxes available, skip the Fluorocarbon (HelX, JetStream) and substitute the
LF or System 3 wax of the same color (Yellow, Red, Blue). Additionally, for those who do not have a rotocork (for
applying JetStream), this step can be replaced by vigorously corking with a dedicated Plasto Cork at the expense of
durability.
