Atomic Redster X9 WB Skis + X 12 GW Bindings 2021

Product Description

A Light Woodcore, Titanium Stabilizer & Worldcup Base Finish ensure you get top performance out of the Redster X9 WB. It uses all the design of the high-end piste & race focused Redster range but has a wider than typical waist. The result is extra stability for variable terrain, making it ideal for skiers who spend most of their time on hard snow but want something a little more versatile & balanced for when things get chopped-up. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type Totally piste focused but because of the extra width it has increased stability in rougher snow when the slopes get messed up, which is probably more common than runs being perfectly groomed. It’s a great choice for good skiers who want to enjoy carving & turning whatever the state of the snow & who value stability higher than pure speed swapping edges. Considering it does still have quick response, it makes the right choice for the majority of skiers. Skier Type The X9 WB is for piste skiers who want to ski fast whatever the conditions & who are prepared to give up a little bit of edge to edge speed in favour of increased stability. It’s aimed at advanced & expert skiers &, for skis at that level, it is relatively forgiving, but only compared to pure race derived skis. Intermediates will never get the most out of it & would be better looking elsewhere. This ski wants to carve turns all the time, at medium & fast speeds. Overview Shape This is a thoroughbred piste machine so there is plenty of shape & the possibility of all kinds of turn shapes. It’s wider than many pure piste skis & this gives it the edge over them when the conditions become trickier & the pistes cut up. The X9 WB with its extra width will just blast through it with no loss of power or stability. The Multi Radius Sidecut combines the best of Slalom & Giant Slalom for playful agile short turns & smooth long turns on the same ski. The contact points extend right into the tip & tail for the maximum contact length & best edge grip, from the very start of the turn right through to the end. Rocker Active Camber uses full camber, no rocker. This provides the best possible grip & energy for the highest performance piste skiing. Core A Ti reinforced Power Woodcore is used for the best performance. Ash & poplar are combined to produce a sporty, dynamic response that is also stable & good at dampening vibrations at speed. Titanal plates above & below the core add stability, supreme shock absorption & increase the torsional rigidity to improve the edge grip. Construction Dura Cap Sidewall uses sidewall from the base to the top sheet for controlled power transmission & great edge hold. The rounded shape adds durability as it picks up less dings & knocks. Key Features Servotec Servotec is Atomic’s radical innovation for racing & high-performance piste skiing. The name comes from ‘ Servolenkung’ because that’s what it is – the first power steering for skis! The secret is the Servotec rod on the top of the ski & the elastomer just under the binding. The rod is under tension, meaning the elastomer connected to it is compressed. The whole ski is therefore in a pre-stressed position – essentially ready to turn. As the ski bends into a turn, the compression in the elastomer is relaxed. It rebounds out like a spring, pulling the rod with it & actively supporting the flex of the ski. This makes steering lighter & quicker. Then on fast straights the rod & elastomer dampen out bumps & ruts in the slope & even swallow up negative swings. This keeps your steering firmer & more stable when skiing straight at high speeds.e B tester’s comments: Szymon (Castlefield) It was so solid on the chopped up pistes. Perfect for someone who wants a high end piste ski, but needs a bit more versatility to cope with more choppy or slushy conditions.
