Atomic Redster TR + X12 TL review 2019
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Atomic has made a real comeback this season. The Redster TR presented by the brand offers an alternative that focuses more on accessibility in this “Carvers” section.
A good, efficient and versatile tool, the Redster TR "does its job" and well deserves its place in this selection of the best skis on the market. It offers serious arguments as it's light underfoot, "easy to rotate and carve", displays consistent behaviour and requires little physical engagement.
We recommend this ski for good to very good riders looking for a versatile and high-performing ski that's nonetheless accessible and comfortable.
Review: Pros
- Good overall performance
- Versatile
- Easy to use, accessible
- Good edge hold
- Light underfoot
- Consistent behaviour
Review: Cons
- Slight lack of character compared to some skis in the selection

Manufacturer's remarks
Designed for the very popular Nations Team events, the Atomic Redster TR delivers fast and agile parallel-slalom turns.
It has a short full sidewall along its whole length for greater power and precision.
The dynamic and sporty ash and poplar core offers incredible stability and absorbs vibrations at high speed.
The core is sandwiched by a layer of titanium that provides excellent shock absorption, remarkable stability and great torsional flexibility.
