Thunderbolt 20 is the all-around winter performer in the Thunderbolt lineup. Its broad application makes it a dependable choice when temperatures are cold but conditions may change during the race or skiing day.
This affordable race wax is designed to provide fluorocarbon-like speed, reliable water repellency, and all-day durability without fluorocarbons or PTFE-based additives.
Thunderbolt is built to offer the best value per gram in ski wax. Every bar is pine scented, and in an industry first, Fast Wax provides an ingredient list on the back of the package—giving skiers greater transparency about what goes onto their skis and into the snow.
WAX TECHNOLOGY:
Thunderbolt 20 uses Fast Wax MS12 technology. This hydrophobic additive combines high-density polyethylene with two types of high-performance ceramic microspheres to increase slip, lubricity, and water repellency.
The microspheres are significantly larger than traditional fluorocarbon structures. This creates more hydrophobic surface area and gives the paraffin wax a larger structure to hold within the ski base. The result is consistent performance that declines gradually as the wax wears.
Thunderbolt race waxes are engineered and made in the USA using additives listed on the EPA TSCA Inventory and registered under REACH. They contain no intentionally added forever chemicals.
WHEN TO USE:
Choose Thunderbolt 20 when temperatures are between 10° and 30° F. It is ideal for common winter conditions and is especially useful when you need one wax that can remain competitive across a changing temperature window.

YOUR HOME TOWN WAX SINCE 1994
In 1994, a top Nordic ski shop tried Fast Wax, loved it, and started selling it. This endorsement led to more shops becoming dealers. By 1997, Fast Wax became the top hometown wax in the upper Midwest. Soon, it gained popularity nationwide and started shipping internationally, winning races by the early 2000s.
