The Atomic Redster X5 Grey is a piste ski designed for skiers seeking a blend of stability and comfort on groomed slopes. It sits in Atomic’s comfort category, offering a smooth ride without demanding race-level technique.
With a 14 m turn radius at 168 cm, the Redster X5 naturally carves medium-radius arcs, helping you link turns with confidence. Its taillering—119.5/70.5/103.5—balances edge hold on firm snow with quick responsiveness, while the supplied Atomic M 10 GW bindings with 80 mm brakes deliver reliable power transfer and consistent release when needed.
The term radius refers to the circular path a ski follows when tilted on edge: a 14 m radius encourages controlled, moderate turns rather than very tight or very wide ones. Taillering, also known as sidecut, describes the ski’s width at tip, waist and tail; a wider tip and tail paired with a narrower waist makes it easier to initiate and exit turns cleanly.
