One step down from the full on Doubledeck, the Redster Edge SL is a fantastic slalom-style piste ski with a top race pedigree. Easy enough for a good intermediate, comes into its own with an expert on board.

Great for :

high speeds, short turns, hard conditions, gates

Not so great for :

obviously not an all rounder

Target ability level :

Inspired by Atomic’s full-on D2 race skis, the Redster Edge SL is a high end turning machine, great for lighter skiers, girls or the less-advanced as well as the real experts.

At 70 mils underfoot, it’s quite wide for a slalom-based ski but the tip at 122.5 and the tail at 109 combine to make this a very shapely ski with a very short 11.7 metre sidecut radius in the 164 ski while the wider waist gives a little more stabity underfoot for more general skiing.

Piste Rocker in the tip only makes the front end of the ski more controllable and turn initiation smoother. A full woodcore coupled with Shockzilla sidewall inserts ensures effective shock absorbtion for strong ski-snow contact and grip while 2 layers of titanium give great strength and stability for immediate reactions.

The camber is strong and the tail is stiff so this is a ski that has plenty of pop and rebound and that kicks you out of one turn and into the next. A strong and aggressive slalom style piste ski with plenty of attitude.
