Swix Marathon Powder

The Marathon Powder features a specialized black additive designed specifically to repel dirt particles. This reduces friction significantly compared to standard waxes, helping your skis maintain speed even when the snow surface is compromised by debris.

It is versatile enough to be used as a standalone race wax, but it also functions exceptionally well as a durable base layer. Whether you use it alone or under another product depends on the specific race conditions and your preferred glide strategy.

After the initial application and cooling, you can reheat the wax on your base. This process helps the wax penetrate deeper into the ski base structure, creating a more resilient and longer-lasting bond that holds up better during endurance events.

While it is optimized for wet and contaminated snow, it is surprisingly capable in colder temperatures as well. Its primary strength is its endurance and anti-friction properties, making it a reliable choice across a broader temperature range than many specialized race waxes.

This is a powder-form wax that requires a high-quality waxing iron for application. You should set your iron to 155°C to ensure the powder melts and bonds correctly to the base without damaging your equipment.
