A brilliant ski that will make you feel like the king of the piste, the Atomic Redster S9 is everything you want from a race ski wrapped up in a striking red package.

The Atomic Redster S9 cuts through the snow like butter, leaving razor-like arcs. On this ski, you can feel free to vary the turn shape from super fast edge to edge short turns to slightly cruiser medium radius turns without worrying about the ski becoming unbalanced underfoot. Whatever you choose they can move from one to the other with ease and you’ll constantly feel your ready to attack!

Atomic Redster S9 2018 Ski Review

While it’s definitely comfortable with the longer radius, this ski excels most on the shorter radius thanks to the addition of Servotec Technology. It is incredibly agile through the tight, fast turns, even at the highest speed. It is a great option if you love short turns and want to work a bit to get the reward. What you put in, you get out, and the Atomic Redster S9 can give a lot.

Very grippy, with Servotech technology keeping a brilliant stability that will have you racing down the mountain without a care in the world.

What we also really liked about the Atomic Redster S9 is that it was super lively. It had a fun, playful nature that race skis sometimes lack, and its energy was infectious on the piste, keeping us feeling great from first lifts to last.
