Atomic

Redster Vasa Race Skate Ski

You don't have to shell out the cash for a full-on World Cup ski just because you want serious performance. Atomic's Redster Vasa Race Skate Ski is serious business, with the same lightning-quick BI 5000 base index as Atomic's World Cup sticks, but on a slightly more relaxed Redster Race profile that doesn't demand quite as much energy as the WC Skate. Don't get fooled into thinking the Vasa's a pushover; though, it's still the third-fanciest ski in Atomic's line behind the WC Skate and the Redster Marathon, thanks to its superlight Mexcell core that has plenty of snap when you're hammering through local races or pushing yourself hard during training laps. Sidewalls give you plenty of tracking, stability, and power, and the Redster's Race profile transforms your energy output into forward motion without being overwhelmingly stiff, making the Redster Vasa a perfect ski for serious training or recreational racing.
