Atomic Skis 2006
Written by Dan Morgan, Sunday, 02 October 2005Atomic, brand leader in Alpine skis used by top stars like Bode Miller and Hermann Maier, is introducing a radically new line of skis for the ever growing wave of freeride and freestyle skiers.
The new Atomic Triplets range provides three skis for the price of two – offering outstanding value, unprecedented cutting edge style and phenomenal durability; three factors critical to success in the twin-tip ski market.
There are two models of Triplets available – the Urban Triplets and the HP Triplets (Half Pipe). The skis defy twin tip convention - because a pair of Triplets is not really a pair in the traditional sense but three skis with bindings. By offering three skis Atomic are giving riders continuity if they break or damage a ski in the pipe or park. Each Triplet ski also comes with its own individual graphic, which means that there are six stylish combinations that the skier can use.
A pair (!) of Atomic Triplets HP. 3 skis per pair as standard…
The Urban Triplets deliver unprecedented durability through Rail Slide Reinforcement (RSR) technology. RSR provides an additional edge underneath the rider’s feet that is flush with the base and 1cm from each edge. This extra edge, combined with a rock hard ceramic base material running down between the two edges, means that not only is the outside edge more protected against the sharpest rails, but it will also improve any rail rider’s confidence and stability as it provides more feel and control.
“The Triplets are a great freestyle ski that is just as much at home in the park, in the air or in the powder,” said Atomic’s Jason Summerfield. “By offering riders a third ski means that should they unfortunately damage one ski then the remaining ski doesn’t become obsolete.”
“The freestyle market is a growth area in the sport and Atomic is looking to extend its market leadership further with these exciting new products,” he added.
Both the Urban Triplets and the HP Triplets come in 3 lengths: 163/172/183 cm. The Urban Triplets have an RRP of £399.95 - £419.99 and the HP Triplets an RRP of £379 - £399.95 depending on bindings.
