Lightweight, snappy and aggressive for off- and on-piste terrain, the RT 86 has new Torsion Flex Control technology for greater transmission of power and easier turn initiation. You’ll enjoy its flotation through freshies, marvel at its torsional strength when edging on ice, and make tighter-radius turns than skis with a similar sidecut. f09 newski Specifications based on 176-centimeter length.
Features:
- Make cuts with greater reactivity and enhanced performance thanks to the Nomad Construction that makes cutaways in the core and topsheet at the forebody and tail for a smooth and even longitudinal flex
- Ride a ski that works for you as the Torsion Flex Control technology provides continuous power in all conditions
- Save a little energy for the backcountry as the lightweight ski allows you to work less on controlling your edges
- You'll carve like you would on a thin-waisted ski, but float as you would with a low mid-fat with the Torsion Flex Control (TFC) technology

For Atomic RT 86 the use of Atomic's Nomad design with TFC cutaways makes the RT 86 20% lighter than comparable skis. TFC improves the flex, making the 86 more responsive while maintaining excellent edge grip. Responsive in the fall line, but carves blistering wide radius turns.
