Atomic Race GS 11 ib Skis 2009

Atomic Race GS 11 ib Skis 2009

Tamer than the 12's so a touch more forgiving but you are still very much in expert territory here. Fractionally easier to carve, well neither ski is designed for skidding!, but the 11's are very grippy, great on hard-pack and provide a fraction of versatility over the 12's - plus they are less tiring if you're spending a full day aboard.

Quick but gentler, finesse rather than rawer force, the GS 11 have their place and I guess lighter skiers may prefer them, I'd still plump for the 12's though.

A really pleasing ride from an excellent GS-style racer. If this ski was in another manufacturers quiver then I may have given it higher marks but as it is I would plump for the 12's unless you are particularly light and agile on your feet.

The manufacturer says this about the Atomic Race GS 11 ib Skis 2009:

The Giant Slalom racer with slightly more flex for dynamic skiers who don't need such a brutal level of aggression. With the carbon/titanium Integral Bridge the ski has the best control and edge grip wile the integrates Dual Torsion Bar ensures high stability and the AeroSpeed II surface, which doesn't just look great, it's honeycomb structure also reduces air turbulence. There's only one word for it: speed.
