Atomic Race D2 GS review 2011
Best ski 2011
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Atomic GS D2 got a 'special mention' from our reviewers who particularly appreciated the performance/pleasure combination. The feeling of safety, comfort and fluidity gives this ski a real edge. It's an excellent choice for skiers ranging from good to competitor who want a ski that offers great performance, is fun to use and exciting.
Review: Pros
- The Atomic certainly lives up to its "Speed" brand reputation with this high-performance ski. In addition to its performance, grip, stability and turn control, the Race D2 GS is also remarkably comfortable and fluid thanks to its excellent ski/snow contact. This ski will give you the confidence to push your limits and discover what you're really capable of.
Review: Cons
- While this ski is relatively polyvalent, it's not so hot in short turns.
