These are the personal set and favorite skis of the Club Commish Kyle Watson. I have used these a few days the last 2 seasons for a couple City League Races and a few fast days at Mission Ridge. They were brand new and never skied until I got them in winter 2022. Im gone most the winter so they have about 10 days on them. I just had them race tuned for the fist time and waxed to perfection by the legendary Marc Morrison. I was expecting to use them again this season but got a deal on the brand new X9s that are blue. I would keep them, but I have too many skis already - so my loss is someone elses gain.
These skis rip - I used them this summer at the Y'East Cup Masters GS and beat a bunch of guys with longer radius skis - This is truly a ski you can rip groomers on and then get in the start haus and win on Sunday. I love them and you will too.
Atomic Redster X9 combines the performances of a classic piste ski to the World Cup technical solutions of the Austrian brand racing department. An ideal ski to enjoy the thrill of competitions and have fun on the track throughout the day. Servotec is the radical innovation for this product and replaces the previous D2 technology.
The name comes from ‘Servolenkung’ because that’s what is – the first power steering system for skis The secret is a hard rod on the top of the ski and the elastomer just under the binding. On fast straights, these two elements dampen out bumps and ruts in the slope and even swallow up negative vibrations. Also, it keeps your steering firmer and more stable when skiing at high speeds.
It also features the Multi Radius Sidecut, halfway between giant slalom and slalom, that’s good for both short and long turns on piste. This shape has been chosen to make the ski very agile, enjoying great skiing on piste, and now we can comprehend why Atomic has called it ‘X’: it means ‘cross’
