A reduced Beta profile softens the tip and a long flat wax pocket improves the grip and glide. Longer flatter wax pocket in both the Cold and the Warm. The Beta technology allows a narrow ski underfoot (42 mm) without losing torsional stiffness. That same technology allows good control and increased glide. The grip factor is .71 to .73. Best grip is obtained by kicking off a flat foot. An aluminum/magnesium laminate under the top cap replaces last year's laminate spreading the pressure distribution more evenly over the ski. A lighter ski for higher performance. Weight: 1016 gm; 41/44/42/43 (Sidecut)
				SRG Test Summary General: Still a modified CB distribution. The softer tip directs more kick to the wax pocket. Glide: Marginal increase due to soft tip. Grip: Cold hard wax drops slightly but soft track grip goes up. Good trade off, "so says Atomic, so says SRG". Drag: Again binding location remains critical for glide. Watch the drag on the front two inches of the wax pocket.
