Features
Atomic Redster S9 Gen S is a pro-level race ski that has fundamentally changed the game – with a whole package of innovation called Redster Gen S technology. Gen S tech includes a new Speedline sidecut that’s wider in tip and tail for epic stability and control at speed. The ‘Speedscale’ ski geometry means Gen S skis can also be shorter, making them much more agile – your competitive advantage in turns and transitions. This latest Redster S9 Gen S model has been fine-tuned to be even lighter, stiffer and more responsive. It’s already a favourite with the Atomic world cup elite team, who report seeing the biggest benefits in icy, hard-packed conditions and on courses full of turns and transitions. Meet the essential next race ski to add to your race fleet!
- Speedline — A deeper sidecut with wider tip and tail delivering a big boost to skiing efficiency.
- Speedscale — Unique Atomic ski geometry boosts precision and makes skis more agile and maneuverable than ever.
- Race Carbon Construction — Carbon laminate above and below the core bring control and stability at speed with a stronger kick.
- Gen S — Wider tip and tail, shorter lengths and a different ski construction create epic agility and stability.
- Nomex Featherlight Race — Atomic's ultralight honeycomb race-core structure that makes the ski extra light for high performance
- BI 6000 + WC Grinding — Sintered world cup base with world cup grinding, +10% special glide additive for all conditions.
- Flat Racing Tip (FRT) — A shorter, flatter, lighter ski tip designed for better swing balance and a smooth fluid motion.

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Redster S9 Gen S/Shift Race SK
Are these skis better suited for groomed trails or going off-track through fresh snow?
These are pro-level skate race skis built for icy, hard-packed race courses. You will get their intended stability, control, and efficiency on prepared firm tracks rather than off-track fresh snow.
I'm just starting out — will these skis be forgiving enough for a beginner?
These are pro-level race skis with a hard flex and a construction tuned to be lighter, stiffer, and more responsive. You will get a high-performance skate-race feel rather than a ski designed around beginner forgiveness.
Can I use these skis for both classic stride and skate skiing, or are they built for one style?
These are skate-specific cross-country skis built for skate skiing. Their Shift Race SK binding and race geometry are intended for skate racing rather than classic stride.
I mostly ski on flat, packed trails near my house — will these perform well in that setting?
These skis are purpose-built for icy, hard-packed race courses, with a stiff flex and Speedline sidecut tuned for stability and control at speed. On flat, packed trails near your house, that race-specific stiffness and construction won't deliver the forgiving, easy-gliding feel of a recreational trail ski.
Are these skis a good choice for long backcountry tours, or are they more of a fitness/track ski?
These are pro-level skate race skis designed for icy, hard-packed race courses. They suit prepared track and race-course skiing rather than long backcountry tours.
I ski mostly on weekends for fun and fitness — are these overkill, or a good fit?
These are pro-level race skis favored by Atomic’s world cup elite team, with a light, stiff, responsive build. You will get the most from them when your weekend skiing is performance-focused skate training or racing on firm courses.
Would these work well for a mixed outing where part of the trail is groomed and part is untracked?
These skate race skis are built for icy, hard-packed race courses with stability and control at speed. They suit the groomed, firm portion of a mixed outing rather than untracked snow.
Will these skis work with the boots I already own, or do I need a specific binding system?
The Shift Race SK binding works with NNN, Prolink, and Turnamic boot-binding systems. Your existing boots need to use one of those systems for compatibility.
How well do these skis hold up to icy or hard-packed snow compared to soft groomed trails?
These skis are built for icy, hard-packed race courses and are reported to show their biggest benefits in those conditions. Their Speedline sidecut and Race Carbon Construction provide stability, control, and a stronger kick at speed on firm snow.
