What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I raced the RS 8 Skate Ski at a mid season in track event and the thin edges made switching legs feel effortless even on firm snow. The included Shift binding meant I was clicked in and warming up within minutes, no separate setup required."
In track speed depends on gear that gets out of its own way, and the Salomon RS 8 Skate Ski with Shift Binding does exactly that. Built for skaters chasing rhythm and glide across universal snow, this set turns every stride into forward momentum without asking the skier to think twice about setup or fit.
The Stringer Core keeps the ski light without sacrificing torsional stability, so power stays consistent from the first kick to the final sprint. A G5 World Cup base delivers fast glide across changing snow conditions, while the thin edge sidecut grips confidently through every leg transfer. With the Shift binding included and ready to go, this is a set built to get young racers on snow and moving fast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skier weight suits the 191 cm Salomon RS 8 Skate Ski?
The 191 cm length is suited to approximately 70–90 kg (154–198 lb). Choose by weight first; if you fall between sizes, a shorter ski is generally easier to control, while a longer ski offers more glide and stability.Which skate boots fit the Salomon RS 8 Skate Ski’s Shift binding?
The included adjustable Salomon Prolink Shift Skate binding works with skate boots that have NNN, Prolink, or Turnamic soles. Skate-specific boots provide the ankle support and lateral stiffness needed for skating.What construction supports the RS 8’s stability and speed?
The Stringer Core balances stability and speed, while fiberglass reinforcement and D2FC Digital Dynamic Flex Control support the ski’s flex. Its balanced camber is designed for skate skiing on groomed trails.How are the RS 8 skis suited to groomed skate trails?
The skis have approximate 44/43/45 mm tip/waist/tail dimensions and a thin-edge sidecut for glide and leg transfers. They’re intended for groomed skate-ski trails, training, and recreational racing rather than deep powder.Can the Salomon Prolink Shift binding be adjusted for control or glide?
Yes. The adjustable Shift binding can move forward for more control or rearward for improved glide; a neutral position offers a compromise. The ski-and-binding set has a plated mounting system.
