Frequently Asked Questions
Why was Racing 739 banned from the Olympics?
Racing 739 was so dominant on race courses that skiers using it were winning by margins of up to 4 full seconds. Olympic and World Cup governing bodies banned it because the performance advantage was considered too great to allow fair competition.
Is Racing 739 legal for recreational skiing?
Yes, 100%. Racing 739 is banned from sanctioned Olympic, World Cup, and professional racing events only. It is completely legal for recreational skiing, snowboarding, club racing, and any non-sanctioned competition.
How do I apply Racing 739?
Iron Racing 739 onto your base at medium temperature (around 120–130°C). Keep the iron moving tip to tail — never let it sit still. Once applied, mash scrape tip to tail while the wax is still hot, then buff to a high shine. Do not wait for it to cool before scraping.
What temperature range does Racing 739 work in?
Racing 739 uses an all-temperature formula, performing across a broad range of snow conditions from cold hard-pack to variable spring conditions.
Is Racing 739 non-fluoro compliant?
Yes. Racing 739 is a non-fluoro wax, meeting current environmental regulations and FIS non-fluoro requirements.
How does Racing 739 compare to Swix or Toko race waxes?
Most race waxes from brands like Swix and Toko require precise temperature matching. Racing 739 is an all-temperature formula that performs across a broad range without switching products — and it has a documented race history no other wax can match: it was literally banned from competition for being too fast.
What size is Racing 739 and how many applications does it provide?
Racing 739 comes in a 141g/5oz professional racing bar. A larger 340g size is also available for extended use or bulk applications.
Can I pair Racing 739 with IceCoast for extreme conditions?
Yes — this is one of Hertel's recommended combinations for maximum performance on icy race courses and hard-pack. IceCoast™ hardens and protects the base, while Racing 739 delivers the glide.
Is Racing 739 made in the USA?
Yes. Racing 739 has been manufactured in the USA by Hertel Ski Wax since 1963 — over 60 years of continuous production.
