Atomic Redster S9 FIS Men Icon (2023/24)

The Atomic Redster S9 FIS Men is a true slalom race ski. Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback from Atomic FIS athletes regarding the 22/23 model, only visual adjustments have been made to the new 23/24 model. Technically, the ski remains unchanged.

Full Sidewall construction with Atomic’s Ultra Power Woodcore gives this ski its energetic flex and transfers all your energy to your edges, keeping your ski engaged around every gate. Atomic’s Ultra TI Powered laminate runs from sidewall to sidewall, adding stability, torsional rigidity, and edge hold that may seem to defy the laws of physics. The new Icon integrated binding interface puts you in total control. The ski’s waist and length facilitate instant carving and maximize agility for ultra-fast edge-to-edge transfer through the gates. The ultimate for World Cup, Continental Cup, and FIS Slalom racers.

 

Difference “Icon” and “X” model

The skis are identical. The difference is in the plates and bindings.

“Icon” is the professional equipment from the World Cup. The “Icon” plate and especially the “Icon” binding were designed exclusively for semi-professional and professional racing. This combination is even more direct in swing control and has an extreme contact pressure. These bindings can only be used with racing ski boots, as the shell of classic ski boots would be too soft and could get pressure points at the holding points or even break. The lowest Z-value of the binding is so high that it is not possible to adjust the weight to the skier.

“X” is the most common “amateur” racing version known to date. Here there are also bindings that can be adjusted to the body weight.
