ONE WAY and Swedish National Team develop new racing basket

The Swedish cross country team has developed together with Marcus Leijon and Mikael Svaren from the Winter sport Technical Institute Östersund ( Sweden) a new type of cross country basket.

The target for the Swedish team was for the last 12 month to design a cross country basket to support the performance of their racers.

The new basket is an exclusive and unique design build with extra light material.  (Weight under 9g/pc!)  The new shape of the basket offers a fast and efficient contact to the snow without losing pace or control.

The product is an exclusive development for the members of the Swedish Ski team and will support them during the next World Cups until the World Championships in Oslo.  The basket is not available in any sport retail stores.

ONE WAY Sport has joined the cooperation to build the moulds, consulting in using the lightest materials and producing the XC basket for the Team; “THE SWEDISH FLASH ”

The first World Cup races has been a great success during the last weeks.  The new Swedish FLASH BASKET will support the Swedish skiers with new ONE WAY poles during the World Championships in Oslo in February.

Team members have been very positive to the new innovation like Anna Haag, Anders Södergren, Mats Larsson especially Johan Olson: “More support and more direct when the basket hit the snow. Lighter and still you get more
power out of it. You get the power immediately when you hit the snow because it does “pack” the snow at once”
