The Redster Q6 doesn’t worry about the conditions on any piste. It has race pedigree mixed with wider dimensions so whichever the run and whatever the snow, it will lock in powerful turns whether short or long. Intermediate and advanced skiers who enjoy skiing all the runs on the mountain will appreciate the confidence and stability that the 79mm waist, Power Woodcore and Ti Powered laminate produce.
Terrain Type & Ability Level
Terrain Type
The Redster Q can trace its DNA straight to Atomic’s World Cup winning Redster program, so you know that it will be completely at home on pistes and firm snow. The wider waist means that it’s a happy to explore a little and is more than capable of handling whatever conditions you find skiing from open to close. It excels on firm morning corduroy, slashes through chop and handles slush with aplomb, whether skiing at your limit on black runs or dialling it back and enjoying lazy, long turns on wide reds.
Skier Type
Good skiers who see the whole piste map as their playground, no matter what the conditions. From hard, frozen runs first-thing in the morning to cruisy laps in slushy afternoon snow, everything is skied and at a range of speeds.
Overview
Shape
It’s 79mm underfoot with a 13.9m radius in a 164cm and has Atomic’s All Condition Piste Shape that uses a Multi Radius Sidecut and extra width underfoot to produce confidence inspiring handling and impressive stability. The contact points extend right into the tip and tail, working with the Active Camber, to provide excellent edge hold and means you don’t need to ski this model long.
Rocker
Active Camber means no rocker at the tip or tail, this increases the effective edge contact for better grip on icy slopes and improved stability.
Core
The Power Woodcore is a dynamic ash and poplar core that adds a ton of stability and dampens vibrations at speed. This is boosted by a Ti Powered Titanal layer that increases torsional flex and creates a smoother ride.
Construction
Dura Cap Sidewall uses a sidewall from base to top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge grip. The rounded shape of the Dura Cap is a fantastic durability feature as it picks up fewer dents and dings.
Key Features
Ti Powered
A Titanal layer above and below the core provides supreme shock absorption for a smoother ride and better stability, plus increases the torsional flex for better edge hold and control.
World Cup Base Finish
World Cup level grinding means less friction and more speed.
EB tester’s comments: Jimi (Castleford) For a powerful ski it was easy to engage turns, nice and relaxed yet plenty of performance when needed. Ideal for an advanced skier looking for a more versatile piste ski.
