Atomic Maverick 96 CTi - All Mountain Ski - Ski Review

Product Summary

The Atomic Maverick 96 CTi's full retail price is €799.99. The Ski costs roughly €140 more than the average price of all All Mountain Skis, making it a real premium Ski. This ski is just right for good skiers. Stable but not overpowering. The All Mountain Ski prefers perfectly groomed runs over fresh powder. However due to its medium-width waist, this ski is also a good shout for riders who like to venture off piste from time to time. The ski is available from 165 to 186cm. The ski is very agile and performs well in all sizes of turn radius - both long and short. The radius ranges from 16 m to 19 m (depending on the length of the ski).

The ski in details

Designed in North America and built in Austria, the powerful Atomic Maverick 96 CTI is a wildly versatile all-mountain ski that can handle every condition.

Arguably the most versatile all-mountain ski in the lineup: the Atomic Maverick 96 CTI delivers remarkable performance both on and off the piste, in all snow conditions. Its CTI Powered construction features a core made of carbon and Titanal, creating the ideal balance between stiffness and flex, enhanced stability across the entire ski, and a fine feel for the terrain. The All Mountain Rocker, with its early rise at the tip, further contributes to the Maverick’s impressive versatility. The Power Woodcore boosts stability and vibration dampening, especially at higher speeds. With a 96 mm waist, the ski ensures precise performance on groomers as well as in mixed terrain. In deeper snow, the uniquely shaped HRZN 3D tip provides a larger contact surface for better floatation. Additionally, thanks to the special blend of wood and metal combined with reduced fiberglass and resin, CO₂-equivalent emissions are cut by 16%.
