The Tazzari Albatros RP-23 is manufactured in Italy and is one of the most advanced and refined numeric-controlled grinders available. Many of the important features have been designed by one of the foremost stongrinders in the world, Lars Svensson from Sweden.
The Tazzari Albatross RP-23 is computer aided and therefore capable of working with precise tolerances of hundredths of millimetres which assures that the structure needed for optimal glide, under any and all possible conditions, can be created and repeated. All things considered, it’s no wonder that the Tazzari Albatross RP-23 accounts for a huge number of grinds on the Nordic World Cup circus both in cross-country and biathlon.

Lars Svensson
Lars (that’s him below) has worked in collaboration with the manufacturer in excess of fifteen years and has refined the potential and capabilities of the machine. The Tazzari Albatros RP-23 is equipped with the Tazzari Nordic grinding stone and when combined with the SDS proprietary diamonds - designed by and exclusively produced for Lars Svensson by the diamond tool manufacturer and De Beers - makes it possible to create almost unlimited patterns and structure. The stone can be dressed with a variety patterns or structure depending on stone speed, diamond speed, depth of diamond penetration, and other parameters.

Lars has prepared skis for X-C and biathlon competitors taking more than 160 gold medals at World Cups, Word Championships and the Olympic Games. He worked exclusively with the Norwegian National Team during the heyday of Daehlie, Ulvang and Alsgaard. After the 1998 Nagano Olympics he worked with Sweden and Germany.
