In the world of in-line speed skating, one team stands head and shoulders
above the rest. After dominating both the individual and team events throughout
2003, the Saab Salomon World Team are now preparing for another season of
success. This fast-growing sport, which sees racers reach speeds of up to 40
km/h, is thrilling for both competitors and spectators alike.

For 2004, Saab Salomon veterans Pascal Briand, Franck Cardin and
Juan-Carlos Betancur are joined by two newcomers: 22-year-old Thomas Boucher
from France and the 18-year-old Columbian Ariza Anderson. All five will be using
the audacious new Salomon S-Lab 100 skate in their bid to maintain Saab
Salomon’s position as the most successful speed skating team of all time.
Events will be taking place throughout the year, from the gruelling
24-hour team race at Le Mans in July to the World Championships in L’Aquila,
Italy in September, culminating in the World Cup finals in Columbia this
October. Full details of the 2004 season, news from the team and more
information about Salomon in-line skate technology can be found by following the

Give your Saab a boost this summer
with a Saab engine tuning kit. Created for the 150 bhp 2.0t Ecopower engine,
these official Saab kits will provide a significant increase to the available
power of the engine. More importantly, they will give you extra torque over a
broad range of engine speeds, permitting swifter, and therefore
safer, overtaking.
The Saab engine tuning kits, which can only be fitted
by an authorised Saab dealer, are available in two versions: one is designed for
manual transmission engines only, and increases power to 170 bhp and torque to
255 Nm. The other, which can be fitted to both manual and automatic transmission
engines, boosts power to 185 bhp and torque to an impressive 280 Nm. Please
contact your nearest Saab dealer for more information.
