Atomic Introduces World's First Ski With Power Steering

“The pre-stressed rod and elastomer on the top of the ski supports the ski’s steering behavior at all speed levels, making steering more agile in turns then more stable on straights.”

Might be a bit of a stretch to call it “power steering” but this new GS ski by Atomic certainly got my attention. 6 time World Cup overall champion, Marcel Hirscher, had a heavy hand in the development of the Atomic Redster G9 and as he says: “You can be the best skier in the world and you’re never going to win a race without the best product.”

Here is how Atomic describes their new Servotec techonology:

“The Atomic Redster G9 RS delivers speed and stability for GS racing at all levels. It features our latest race innovation, Servotec. The name comes from ‘Servolenkung’ because that’s essentially what it is – power steering for your skis. The pre-stressed rod and elastomer on the top of the ski supports the ski’s steering behavior at all speed levels, making steering more agile in turns then more stable on straights. It comes with a Full Sidewall. It’s also not restricted by FIS rules. So it has a smaller radius to make the handling super forgiving. If you’re a Ski Cross or Master athlete looking for World Cup performance, you’ve found it.”
