TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
EXPERIENCE
The Atomic Redster X5 ski is suitable for intermediate skiers looking for a sporty downhill ski. The wood and titanium construction results in a stable, safe and high performance ski for progressing on all lower angle slopes at high speed. The progressive radius enables you to choose a ski adapted to the way you ski (small to large turns).
SIDECUT
122/71/105 in 170 cm,
The sidecut corresponds to the width in mm of the nose, waist and tail.
The wider the tip, the easier the turn entry.
The narrower the waist ,the quicker the edge switching.
The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable the ski in changing snow conditions.
Turn radius = 14 m
As for the curve radius, the shorter it is, the shorter the turn will turn (tight turns)
The larger the turn radius, the more the ski will turn on wide turns
STRUCTURE
Woodcore power: Wood core design, vertical side walls on the full length of the ski for better grip. Titanium stabiliser and structured topsheet for good robustness.
BINDINGS

WHAT IS A ROCKER?
On a "rocker" ski, the tip, and sometimes the tail, comes off the ground sooner than with a cambered ski: this has the effect of moving the contact points toward the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened and offers manoeuvrability and floatability in soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more edge grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.
PREPARATION
Waxed and sharpened skis, ready to use. Edge sharpened to 89°.
What is the rocker?
When placing a ski on the ground, its points of contact are found near the tip and tail, whereas the middle of the ski (under the bindings) is slightly raised. This is the camber. The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip and more the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the ski and the better the handling.
Our after-skiing advice
After a long day skiing, this is what you need to do to guarantee your ski's long life:
* Wipe your edges with a cloth at the end of the day to prevent rusting.
* Use ski ties to prevent the soles from rubbing against each other.
* Store your skis in a dry place and away from sunlight.
Tips for storage and maintenance
Storage tips
Store in a dry place. At the end of the season: have your skis waxed but request that the wax is not scratched, so that your equipment is stored in optimal conditions.
