On our big roller ski test 2023, we have tried, tested, compared, and reviewed no less than nine pairs of classic roller skis and eight pairs of skate roller skis from the major manufacturers.

Stability, comfort, and overall performance

We used two test skiers, one male and one female. Both have a background in cross-country skiing and racing at the elite level and several years of extensive roller skiing experience.  We sat down with our equipment testers and nailed down the features and properties we would rate. Each of these is rated on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 is terrible, and 5 is marvelous.

In addition to rating these features and properties in a matrix, the testers also describe each pair in terms of the ride, skiing experience, overall feel, pros and cons, design, and functionality of fenders, etc.
