Rode Chola Grund

Truly one of the toughest and hardest binder klisters around, and it smells wonderfully like tar. The trick with this stuff is that it sets up almost glassy-hard, and you really need to bond your kicking klister to it with some heat. For use in really abrasive warmer conditions where kicking klisters are soft (like Rossa), I recommend an intermediate layer of base klister – either a true base klister like Vauhti K-Base, or a standard Blue or Special Violet. Otherwise the soft klister is liable to shear right off the hard Chola. Chola does not provide a “cushion” – it’s strictly for durability. It won’t come off the ski if it’s heated onto a clean, abraded base. You don’t need a thick layer of it.
