Toko’s 2026-27 Products: New Wax, Irons and Tuning Tools

Alpine skiers and snowboarders, here’s a look at Toko’s new products for the 2026-27 winter season, along with my recommendations for choosing waxes and tuning tools.

Waxes

Jet Bloc Cold (Blue) and Warm (Yellow)

These fluoro-free top coats give racers performance previously unattainable with a fluoro-free formula. They are very economical on their own as a top coat and also very effective with Jet Liquid. Jet Bloc Mid (Red) stays the same as last winter.

The new Jet Bloc Warm (Yellow) was a very successful test wax that performed well in nearly every condition, including cold, dry snow, and excelled in all types of wet snow. I’d like to highlight it because it is so versatile. The new Cold uses last year’s World Cup test wax formula, Jet Bloc X, and the new Warm uses last year’s World Cup test bloc formula, Jet Bloc Y.

You can use these bloc top coats over a high-performance hot wax. They have also been applied over Jet Liquid after it dries, with great success. The Cold and Warm formulations will be in stock in early December. The X and Y Jet Blocs are available now with the same formulas and previous packaging.

RS Premix 1916 Wipe and Brush

This high-performance, World Cup-tested training and base wax is designed for ambitious ski racers. It is ideal for diverse snow conditions and temperatures, providing exceptional glide and resilience. It works in all conditions except cold, dry powder.

This is the No. 1 base wax used by World Cup teams in hot-wax form. Now available in Wipe and Brush forms, it gives racers a convenient way to protect their bases between training sessions or events and keep their skis fast for course inspection. It’s a great option for those who want fast skis without heat. The Wipe and Brush versions were expected in stock in early November; check with Toko for current availability.

Waxing and Tuning Tools

New Waxing Irons

These irons will feel familiar. They are similar to the dependable irons we have offered in the past, with some performance improvements. All three reach higher temperatures and have thicker base plates than our earlier irons.

T25 Digital Iron

This digital iron has a 25 mm base plate and heats up to 392 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). It is our new World Cup-level iron and replaces the T18. It has 1,200 watts of power. The T25 also has an auto shutoff feature that activates if the iron has not been moved for a while.

T15 Digital Iron

This digital iron has a 15 mm base plate and heats up to 356 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). It replaces the T14 and has 1,200 watts of power.

T8 Wax Iron

This iron has a 15 mm base plate and heats up to 356 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). It improves on the previous T8 model and has 800 watts of power.

All three irons are now in stock. European and U.S. versions are available for each model.

Polishing Brush

This is the same brush we’ve had in the past, now with blue bristles so you can distinguish it more easily from the Nylon Brush.

Rotary Brushes

We returned to a dependable, well-known manufacturer, so all our rotary brushes have new item numbers. They will be similar to the previous versions, with possibly slightly better quality.

Snowboard Rotary Brush and Snowboard Shaft

We have added a gray nylon snowboard rotary brush that is 300 mm wide and a shaft that is also 300 mm wide. Most are in stock now, but the Copper and Merino brushes are still on the way and are expected around mid-December.

Prisma Straight Edge

The new Prisma Straight Edge is aluminum. It’s a great tool for checking edge angles and base flatness.

Padded Travel Bag for Workbenches

This robust, durable transport bag fits the Toko Workbench 110×50 and the Racing Workbench. It does not fit the Workbench Small. The bag is in stock now.

Waxing Recommendations

We introduced 1916 last winter. It’s a hot wax that comes in 960-gram boxes, with eight 120-gram blocs. It’s an excellent, affordable wax that performs well in all conditions except cold, dry powder. Many World Cup teams use it as their default wax, knowing it will perform consistently while they focus on structure, ski selection and top coats. I recommend it for teams that use top coats. The name 1916 comes from the year Toko was founded.

The Jet Liquids and Blocs are, without a doubt, our go-to racing products. In wet snow, I haven’t found anything that comes close to Jet Liquid Warm (Yellow). At several events in spring conditions, 15 or more of the top finishers have used Jet Liquid Yellow. The product speaks for itself, and if you don’t have it or haven’t tried it, you’re missing one of our strongest wet-snow options.

Jet Liquid Red and Blue are also excellent. They perform best in faster, transformed, glazed or skied-in snow. The Cold and Warm Jet Blocs are new products. Warm is proven — it was last year’s Jet Bloc Y — and is a top product. Cold is new. Although we are familiar with its ingredients in a different product and form, we haven’t introduced it to World Cup teams as a test product, so we don’t have a track record to share. I’ll provide more information as we gain experience with it. Mid (Red) was available last winter and is an excellent product. It’s easier to commit to the blocs when there is a full line rather than just one formula. If you were going to get just one bloc, I’d recommend Warm (Yellow) for its versatility.

In colder, drier, slower powder snow, I haven’t found anything better than XCold Powder, which you can use by itself or mix with HP Blue hot wax. It provides excellent acceleration in cold, dry, slow snow.

Lastly, the Wipe and Brush products can be convenient and effective as a post-event travel wax. You can also use them for ski testing and course inspection. Wipe and Brush comes in two formulas: All in One and 1916. All in One has been surprisingly good and is inexpensive. 1916 costs more and performs better.
