- Danish XC skier Lasse Hulgaard testing the Ski Roller Barthelmes SRB XRS01 Cross Roller Ski made for skate skiing on gravel, dirt and in the forest... giving the skier a great XC-skiing experience but with no need of snow!
The roller skis that Lasse tested in this review was with "locks" on all four wheels making it possible to use classic technique. However the ski is even better suitable for skating.
SRB XRS01 has 150mm/30mm inflatable wheels. You can mount the same type of binding as on your XC skis and use the same type of XC ski boots or roller ski boots. Each XRS01 weighs about 1,5 kg

A good and informative video Lasse! I’m thinking about buying a pair of rollerski’s .The last 15 years i did triathlon but now i like to put new training routine in my schedule. So i think rollerskiing is a good alternative for it. Thank you for the video and good luck with your training. Stay safe and stay healthy🍀💪🏻
Greetings from The Netherlands.
I watched this video so many times ! I now brought some and use them on the “trans pennine trail “ in England , I love them ! Thankyou so much !!
I want to buy too :)
In the US, Jenex of Milford NH has for many years made a similar type of roller ski, called the "Aero". Mine have 6" (147 mm wheels). They have a clutch only on the front wheel. I use mine on pavement for both classic and skate, but they have a model with no clutch for just skate.
I am from Canada and use the Jenex V2 aero! An amazing product for off road skate skiing. Amazing preparation for winter skiing. I also have a pair of skate skis for the road persuit , I find that it makes me practice some speed on the road as I find that I am slower on my rollerskiing off-road than on the snow which sometime is not good to practice balance on a long glide. In any case it is a Lot of fun to do.
Jenex also makes a tri wheel classic ski motion model - ratcheting front wheel, 2 wheels in back. They also have an option rear wheel brake - a lever at calf height that one can press back on to apply pressure to the rear wheels. The standard front brake is a 3 position bar with a roller to apply friction to the front wheel.
Their Aero XL150RC Classic is my preferred Classic motion grass paths roller ski. I also have SRB XRS06, Skike, Cat Skier, so I have a full quiver of "all terrain" roller ski options.
Excellent and informative. Thanks!
Awesome review! Answered all my question so thank you for this. I want a pair. I want to move away from running and this would be perfect. Just took up xc this winter for the 2nd time and it's convinced me xc ski/skate training is better than running. We have both paved and gravel trails, wide and narrow and these would be perfect. Better than biking, easier on the butt. Downside is the boots but I'll get over it. Thanks again for the review :)
What do you dislike regarding the ski boots?
@@Magnus--Johansson I thought mine would be to hot and uncomfortable in the summer months. Skike fire V9 solved that. They allow street shoes so I bought those instead. They also have brakes and a strap that goes around mid calf which provides a lot of stability off road and the allow for both styles of skiing. I don't know if I would have enough control with only standard NNN bindings. As it is the trail has to be fairly smooth for skate style which limits the trails I can skate on. I'm a little disappointed with the 8" wheels I must say. I'm certainly glad I didn't get the 6" wheels.
@@dumbdumber1885 -- There are special roller ski boots made by e.g. Alpina, Botas and Fischer that suit summer temperatures. What with the 8" wheels was disappointing?
Same. I’ve blown out my posterior tibial tendon running. Need something to supplement MTB and road cycling.
In my experience the Skate motion models need a smooth hard packed surface. Dirt trail, packed gravel rd, as shown in the video. They do not work as well on the grass paths that I have mowed in our front field - the grass isn't smooth enough for me to get a skate motion. So I end up doing mostly double poling. The skate motion works well on our dead end packed gravel rd. Folks might want to consider the models which have a binding for shoes with more support of your foot and leg - calf and foot, straps - SRB XRS06.
Large tire "all terrain" roller skis are lots of fun and a great way to get out in the woods when there isn't snow, or just a dusting of snow. They beat having to compete with the traffic on paved roads.
Dobbel pulling on gravel (offroad) is so much nicer than on tarmac 👋
Hi, great video thank you. Have you ever used or will you do a video on the 200mm wheel roller ski. What do you think of them compare to the 150?
I've owned the Jenex Areos (pneumatic tires)
A set for skate and one for classic for....10 years?
They replaced my hard wheel roller skis when I wore my 2nd set of wheels out
So...a lot of distance on wheels over nearly 40 years...I probably spend twice as much time on wheels as I do on snow
Things to think about
When I bought my first set of rollers...in 1980?.... the guy in the ski store guaranteed that I would lose at least 10 pounds in my first 2 weeks of roller skiing
But...I'd probably gain most of that back when they did the skin grafts
And....he wasn't far off
I've "given blood" a lot over the years
Always wear helmet and gloves...carry bandaids
And for the first month or two...knee pads and find a pair of used hockey pants
Then learn to sit down before you fall down
Most of my falls occur when a ski kicks out skating uphill...so a fairly slow speed drop onto my knees and hands
Harder on the pole grips than the body
But my classics have a tendency to clip my (left) ski as my (right) kicks forward
So just as your weight transfers onto your ski...you find your ski going about 45 degrees to the left...with your mass trying to go straight ahead
And those ones can be....spectacular
My Areos are fitted with speed reducers (clamp on the wheel) and a friction break
And...Being an old guy..I wouldn't ski without those...I won't go any faster than I'm willing to fall down.....I have to go to work the next day
I mostly ski on paved roads...but often I have to roll over broken/frosts heaved pavement...sometimes hard packed dirt road
Like real skate skis...you can't push a tire edge into loose gravel...it will slide out
So...it can be hard to skate on gravel... if you only train on paved road you may develop some poor technique....but the first hour or so on snow will fix that
Even with the big pneumatic tires lumps in the road (or pot holes) will make the shafts ground out...and that is why you wear the helmet...always
Too much double polling or kick double pole (training for Vasa) can get you a case of tennis elbow from whacking the pole tips into the road ....use shock absorbers when you go for long runs (+20km)...and file your pole tips every water break
Watch out for dogs...and slugs...rolling over a slug at full speed can be hard on you
And not great for the slug
All that said...I love these things
I'd much rather spend an hour or two on rollers than an hour running
Hope to see you out there
This is quite impressive! I wish you included a short clip where the skiers demonstrate how to stop. How do you stop if there is a sudden obstacle ahead?
One of the reasons roller skis are not popular is the way you often stop is you fall. When you do fall, it is hard to turn sideways so you might faceplant. I own a pair, and they scare me. I only use them to go slow on flat terrain, but I still do not recommend them. For skate skiing practice, just get rollerblades. Much easier to stop and turn.
@@RMWeinberg Hi, thanks for great video. For skate skiing practice, do you think that it is good idea to practice with off road rollerblades and ski poll?
@@wonyoung337 -- Rollerblades invite to non-ski-like technique, so I recommend practise on skate roller skis.
I have a set with speed reducers, wonderful for gravel, limestone paths. The reducers are easy to use to scrub speed on sketchy descents. But nay on rollerblades. It took me years to unlearn rollerblade technique in my legs to Nordic ski. But maybe you meant the speed skate style in lines?)
I bought these as a beginner and while they are great I would not recommend them as the best first skis. I would go with the Jenex V2s which you can mount speed reducers. The Jenex skis also can come with 150mm wheels but they are lighter and safer for a beginner. In terms of stability and off road capabilities these SRB skis have the edge once you master the basics. For everything else I would prefer the Jenex V2 with speed reducers.
Can you recommend which flexors you are using ? I noticed they are white? The back of my ski drops quite a bit , I have my ski boots as far back as possible, thanks again Adrian
There is a harder flexor, but this is often not enough to get the rear wheel higher. You will need a small piece of rubber that is about 2.5mm to 3mm thick. For example, find a round black rubber faucet gasket. Available in every hardware store here in Germany. These have a hole in the middle, trim them slightly to fit the flexor snugly. Take some glue and screw the gasket onto the flexor with a flat head screw. The rear wheel is thus optimally adjusted. I've had it for years, it holds up perfectly and runs great.
Pretty impressive product! Do you produce them yourselves?
The rollerskis are produced by SRB: ski-roller.de
If there's going to be no snow in Minnesota (maybe because Hell froze over?) then I guess this is the Way
See the locks to do classic XC?
Jeg kan se at det er en Rottefella binding du bruger, er der en bestemt type du vil anbefale til denne ski? Evt også støvle?
Det skal gerne være en skøjte-binding hvis du skal kunne skøjte med dem. Rottefella er fint. Bruger også selv Salomons skøjtebindinger.
@@FullPerformance Gøy at det er noen som går på ski i Danmark også!
SRB XRS01 no longer appears to be an available product from the Steep website.
I suspect that roller skis will become more and more in demand as snowless winters become more common.
Which cross skates would you recommend to a beginner?
But do they turn?
Are these available in the US? Thanks.

How I domingo for by in Brasil?
Come in different speed wheels?
Not really different wheels, but if you inflate to 50-80 psi they are not very fast and if you inflate to over 100 psi they are pretty fast. I would estimate that at about 100-110 psi they about as fast as "US6" on asphalt :)
Hello. How can I buy it? I'm from Russia.

TAKE MY MONEY!
Где купить такие роллеры?
Я бы порекомендовал найти компанию, в которой вы могли бы получить рекомендации.
Если рядом с вами ничего нет, поищите в Интернете «SRB XRS01» или «SKIKE Wahia R9». Оба с колесами 150мм с воздухом.
Надеюсь, это нормально переведено!
@@FullPerformance translation is fine!
I would compare this to a gravel bike, not a mountain bike.
Yo utilizo un rollerski Elpex de rueda maciza 130 no tengo límites, pero en los caminos que circuló hay muchas piedras, sin problemas
I dislike poison.
I'm gonna crash these so hard
I have had quite a few crashes myself but I always wear a helmet and knee and elbow pads :)
