Atomic Launches ’24/’25 Freeride Collection: All New Mavericks & Mavens
January 19, 2024
Smooth and ambitious, Maverick and Maven are hard-charging, all-conditions, all-mountain skis that take skiing to the next level.
/OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Offered in new width and length profiles for 24/25, the new Maverick and Maven models feature a powerful HRZN 3D tip reinforced with wood and more surface area for better float in powder and more stable, smoother performance in variable snow conditions.
Incorporating lessons learned from a professional life cycle assessment, the new Maverick and Maven models features a lower-impact construction that strikes the ideal balance of woods and metal with less fiberglass and resin to reduce waste production. By using less metal, fiberglass, and resin and topsheets with more recycled material in the construction of the new Maverick and Maven skis, their lower-impact design reduces production waste and cuts CO2 equivalent emissions by 24%.
MAVERICK 115 CTI – $1050
Proven on the Freeride World Tour, the all-terrain design of the Atomic Maverick 115 CTI delivers hard charging, freeride performance with progressive off-piste versatility. New CTI Powered core construction features the perfect mix of carbon and titanal to create a ski that has a rounder, more consistent flex pattern with added torsional stiffness for greater stability, more balance, increased power, and better feel.
A Power Woodcore utilizes a blend of ash and poplar wood to add sturdiness and dampen vibration. Developed with input from freeride phenoms like Sage Cattabriga-Alosa and Craig Murray, the 115 waist and sturdy HRZN 3D tip adds surface area for better float and a Powder Rocker profile delivers lively handling. The result of a Life Cycle Assessment, the new core construction in the Maverick 115 CTI uses more low-carbon raw materials to reduce environmental impact of manufacturing and cut CO2 emissions by 24% (compared with the Maverick 100 TI, 2022).
MAVERICK 105 CTI – $975
Built to charge and driven to explore, the spirited Maverick 105 CTI sets the new standard for all-mountain, all-conditions, freeride skis. Engineered just like the Maverick 115 CTI with a slightly more versatile waist width, this Maverick 105 CTI is constructed with the same Power Woodcore, a dynamic ash and poplar wood core that improves stability and reduces vibration at speed. CTI Powered, the core utilizes a mix of carbon and titanal to create the ideal balance of agility and sturdiness for energetic, highly charged skiing.
All Mountain Rocker offers greater versatility, and the sturdy HRZN 3D tip adds more surface for better float in deeper snow conditions. By using more low-carbon raw materials, less metal, fiberglass and resin, as well as a topsheet with more recycled material, the lower-impact design reduces environmental waste and cuts CO2 emissions by 24% (compared with the Maverick 100 TI, 2022). Designed in North America and built in Austria, skiers like Daron Rahlves praise the Maverick 105 CTI for its hard-charging, off-piste, in-resort, all-over versatility.
MAVEN 103 CTI – $975
A pure all-mountain, all-conditions freeride ski, the women’s Maven 103 CTI is designed to charge hard and driven to explore new terrain. Built similar to the sturdy, lower-impact design of the unisex Maverick 105 CTI, the Maven 103 CTI core construction uses less metal, fiberglass and resin, and features a Power Woodcore that uses a unique blend of ash and poplar wood to improve the ski’s stability and significantly reduce vibration when at speed.
CTI Powered, the core utilizes a precise mixture of carbon and titanal to deliver the perfect balance of agility and sturdiness for hard-charging, highly energetic skiing. All Mountain Rocker and the uniquely beveled three-dimensional HRZN 3D tip increases surface area for improved float in deeper snow conditions. The ski of choice for Atomic skiers like Amie Engebretson, it’s the smooth and cruisy, yet firm and fierce all-mountain performance of the Maven 103 CTI that keeps her chasing after the next turn.
One of the most revered ski in the core ski community, extensive testing, feedback and validation from pro athletes, local influencers, retail buyers, shop employees, and end consumers has gone into the development of the new Maverick and Maven models.
