Atomic Redster G9 R Skis with X16 VAR Binding 2020

Atomic Redster G9 is the supercharged sports car of our Redster range. It’s created for the piste but packed with World Cup approved race tech. Like Servotec. Basically power steering for your skis, a pre-stressed Servotec rod and elastomer helps the ski steer at all speeds. More agile in turns, more stable on straights. The thicker, stronger Ultra Titanium Powered laminate – previously only available for FIS skis – runs from sidewall to sidewall for more stability, torsional rigidity, and edge grip. These two features combine for precision control and stability you need, whether you’re keeping your foot down on the race course, or going for big, long turns when piste skiing.

Details & Specs

SERVOTEC

Servotec is our radical innovation for racing and 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 and 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 and actively supporting the flex of the ski. This makes steering lighter and quicker.

Then on fast straights the rod and elastomer dampen out bumps and ruts in the slope and even swallow up negative swings. This keeps your steering firmer and more stable when skiing straight at high speeds.
