What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I raced this setup at a mid distance event on a firm, groomed course, and the deeper sidecut noticeably helped each stride carry forward instead of losing momentum. The boots stayed light and secure the entire race, so fatigue never crept in before the finish."Somewhere between the start gun and the first real push, a ski either works with you or fights you, and the Atomic Redster S7 Gen S Medium Skate Ski Package w/ Poles is built to do the former. Settle into a groomed race course, commit to the kick, and let the ski's deeper sidecut carry that effort into a forward arc instead of letting the stride fade out underneath you. That forward momentum comes from a full system built around efficiency. Racewall sidewall construction and a bonded plate keep the edge locked to the snow through fast, aggressive pushes, while a Densolite Carbon build over a Densolite 500 core keeps the whole ski light enough to hold a dynamic kick deep into a race. The Redster S7 boots add a stable, lightweight fit tuned for advanced skiers, and the Pro Carbon poles round things out with a low swing weight shaft and a Nordic cork grip that keeps the hands fresh mile after mile.
