Reading our Test Team’s results, you will sometimes see the word “SURPRISE” and with the Atomic Drive 11 here it is again.

Ski discipline: On Piste
Length(s): 148, 156, 164, 172, 180
Radius: 15, 16, 16.5, 17.5, 18

Manufacturer's Description of the Atomic Drive 11:

"The top ski with extraordinary smoothness for groomed slopes. The transmitters consist of super-light carbon in combination with the extra long aluminum stabilizer that gives excellent gliding characteristics. The shape is perfectly tuned to the performance oriented prepared run skier. An experience you have yet to discover."

Ski-Review's Verdict:

NO ONE expected the performance that the Atomic Drive 11 delivered. The edge hold is tenacious for a ski at this price, while the ride is smooth an free of chatter. A unique construction and design incorporating Titanal and Carbon give the "11" a light feel without giving up the secure solid feel required for some speed and aggressive edging.

Our testers felt the ski may even be under-priced, as the performance is at a much higher level than the price suggests, making the new “Drive 11” a real bargain from Atomic. Re-assuring edge grip won’t fail you even when the snow turns to a bulletproof blue boilerplate, and the "11" is put through your own rigorous testing.

Carving OR cruising FUN, the 11 does it all for less dollars.

The Atomic Drive 11 promises alot and it lives up to it and more. This ski feels like a GS ski on steroids. Fast and smooth with unbelievable edge grip. If you are looking for a ski to go fast on groomed and light layer of powder this is the ski. Five stars
