Swix DH7 Black World Cup Glider 180g

Humid, dirty, abrasive race snow eats ordinary wax, and the Swix DH7 Black World Cup Glider 180g is built for exactly that. This alpine racing glider uses a black additive for durability and lower friction, plus a water-repelling additive for wet snow. Race skis keep their speed and the base stays protected on rough, contaminated courses.

Why we like it:

The black tungsten additive is the story; it toughens the wax and cuts friction, so the ski stays fast when course snow is dirty or chewed up.

Features and Functions:

Swix designed DH7 Black for humid, dirty, and abrasive snow, and the black tungsten additive boosts durability while reducing friction. A silicone-based hydrophobic additive minimizes water suction, and a PE hardener improves wax absorption and wear resistance. The hardness and elasticity are tuned for smooth application, and Swix says it gives stable performance at speeds above 100 km/h while protecting against base burn in high-pressure turns.

Bottom Line:

This is a race-day glider for alpine racers and service techs facing humid or contaminated snow. Keep it in the race box for the days when a standard glider won't hold up.
