Description
Atomic Redster G9 2018/2019 is the top Race ski model produced by the Austrian company.
Servotec is the Atomic greatest innovation for racing and high-performance piste skiing. The name comes from ‘Servolenkung’ because that’s what it is – the first power steering for skis! The Servotec system is composed by a rod on the top of the ski and the elastomer just under the binding. Here is how it works:
- When the ski is flat before turning, the rod is under tension meaning the elastomer connected to it is compressed. So, the whole ski is in a pre-stressed position, essentially ready to begin a turn.
- As the ski bends into a turn, the compression in the elastomer is relaxed. It rebounds out like a spring, pulling the rod with it and actively supporting the flex of the ski. This solution helps to keep steering lighter and quicker.
- Then on fast straights, the rod and elastomer dampen out bumps and ruts in the slope, reduce negative vibrations, and keep your steering firmer and more stable when riding at high speeds.
