Atomic Backland 80 UL: Designed for Fast and High-Performance Ascents
The ultralight touring ski Atomic Backland 80 UL is specifically designed for those aiming to set personal records and tackle impressive elevation gains. With a construction combining lightness and performance, this model is perfect for quick and lightweight touring.
Optimized Construction and Performance
The Backland 80 UL features a narrower waist compared to the 86 mm counterpart, enhancing uphill efficiency. Its Ultra Light wood core, made from poplar and caruba, provides a perfect balance between lightness and performance, ensuring ultra-efficient ascents while remaining stable during descents.
Advanced Technology
An ultra-light carbon insert runs throughout the ski’s length, acting as a stabilizing spine. This feature ensures optimal stiffness without adding weight, maintaining exemplary stability even at high speeds. Moreover, the HRZN Tech Tip & Tail construction increases contact surface by 10%, offering better floatation in deep snow and reducing tip deflections in challenging conditions.
Maneuverability and Versatility
The All Mountain Rocker, with its early tip rise, enhances maneuverability and adds versatility, making the ski suitable for various snow conditions. This technology allows for smoother transitions and increased control, whether in powder or on hard snow.
Practical Design for Climbing Skins
The Backland 80 UL includes a cut-out notch in the tip for quick and secure attachment of Atomic PreFit climbing skins. This practical feature is ideal for skiers looking to minimize preparation time and maximize their efficiency in the field.
Conclusion
In summary, the Atomic Backland 80 UL is the ideal touring ski for ambitious skiers seeking to combine speed, lightness, and performance. Its advanced construction and innovative technologies make it a perfect choice for rapid ascents and stable descents, even under the most demanding conditions.
