Start`s RG Race waxes are just below the Ultra level waxes. They are still great race waxes for all snow conditions. Several additives are in the wax to reduce friction in wet and dry conditions, as well as increased durablity. RG Race Graphite is a great race or loppet wax for dry, cold, and new snow conditions, use RG Race Liquid Waxes on top for added speed.
