Atomic Redster TR + X12 TL review 2019
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Atomic has made a real comeback this season. The Atomic Redster TR is more focused on accessibility than other skis in the “Carvers” category.
A good, high-performance, and versatile ski, the Redster TR "does its job," and has earned its place in this selective group of the best skis on the market. It is “light underfoot,” "easy to pivot and carve," predictable, and requires little physical effort.
We recommend this ski for strong intermediate to advanced skiers looking for a versatile and high-performance ski that is also accessible and easy to use.
Review: Pros
- Good overall performance
- Versatile
- Easy to handle, accessible
- Good edge grip
- Light underfoot
- Predictable
Review: Cons
- Slightly uninspiring compared to some skis in this category
