Exchange for a new pair of shoes if necessary warranty case possible during the entire warranty period (within 1 year from the date of purchase).
Refunds are possible only within 30 days from the date of purchase or in the absence of a similar shoe model in size and price.
Refunds for goods of inadequate quality or exchange for similar shoes are made at the written request of the buyer. The application must be accompanied by a sales receipt (consignment note) issued upon purchase. In the sports salon "SportExtreme" an internal check of the quality of the goods is carried out. The verification period is from 7 to 14 working days from the receipt of a written application from the buyer. Based on the results of the check, the Buyer is provided with a Shoe Quality Check Certificate. In case of disagreement with the results of the internal quality control, the Buyer has the right to apply to an independent examination to obtain an independent assessment. If an independent examination recognizes the quality of the goods as inadequate, within 10 (ten) business days from the date of submission of documents confirming the results of an independent examination, the Buyer is paid the cost of the goods, and the costs of the examination are compensated (subject to the provision of supporting documents).
Requirements for shoes that were in use during the warranty period:
- - shoes must be clean and dry;
- - shoes that have been repaired are not accepted for return
Shoes not eligible for exchange:

- - with mechanical damage (burns, cuts, rips, etc.);
- - deformed as a result of improper wear, drying, lost quality as a result of chemical exposure and with other defects that arose through the fault of the buyer;
- - repaired by the buyer before presenting it to the store (except for replacing the heels, attaching metal joints, gluing a preventive outsole, if such repair did not lead to the formation of defects).
Return of good quality goods
The buyer has the right to exchange and return the goods in the store at the place of purchase within 14 (fourteen) days (excluding the day of purchase). According to Article 25 of the Federal Law "On Protection of Consumer Rights", the buyer has the right to exchange a non-food product of good quality from the seller from whom this product was purchased if the specified product did not fit in size, style, model, fullness or color for another or similar one. The exchange of a non-food product of good quality is carried out if the specified product was not in use, its consumer properties, presentation, seals, factory labels, as well as a cash or sales receipt (waybill) issued to the buyer along with the sold specified product are preserved. When exchanging or returning goods, the buyer must have an identity document, cash and sales receipt (waybill) with him.
Top skating Atomic Redster S9 Carbon uses 2 designs:
- Yellow (UNI)– universal design
- Red (Plus)– design for warm conditions and soft wet snow, transparent surface without graphite
Skating Atomic Redster S9 come only with a universal yellow design.
AT classical Atomic Redster Carbon uses 3 designs:
- Blue (Cold)- under cold conditions and solid ointments. Low camber (HBW) - 0.8 to 1.1 mm
- Yellow (UNI)- universal design for solid and semi-solid ointments. Average Deflection Height (HBW) – 1.0 to 1.3 mm
- Red (Plus)- design for warm conditions and liquid ointments. High arch deflection (HBW) - 1.3 to 1.7 mm
The height of the deflection is the same as what is called the “stiffness of the ends”, this does not change the meaning. The rigidity of the socks affects the height of the deflection. The higher the deflection, the higher the block rises above the track during the rental. Therefore, for liquid ointments, a high arch is needed so as not to interfere with sliding.
Atomic base plastic
- Bl 1000(not installed on Atomic skis since 2018) - entry-level low molecular weight plastic. Versatile in terms of use, contains 3.5% graphite. Almost does not absorb paraffin. The simplest quick-apply lubricants will do.
- BI 1500– entry-level low molecular weight plastic. Universal in terms of use, contains 5% graphite.
- Bl 2000- universal plastic with an average molecular weight. Contains 9% graphite. Can be treated with plain paraffins to improve performance.
- BI 3000– universal high molecular weight plastic with 13% graphite. Well "accepts" the lubricant, paraffin treatment significantly improves glide.
- B.I.4000– a universal surface of professional level. Contains 20% graphite. Excellent compatibility with all types of racing lubricants.
- B.I.5000– World Cup level base. Contains 25% graphite. Comparable to Salomon G5.
- B.I.5000 SA– improved version of Bl 5000, contains 25% graphite and 6% special additive. Atomik does not disclose its composition.
- B.I.5000 CB– transparent plastic for difficult conditions (artificial snow, dirty, watery, coarse-grained). Fits on Red skis. Does not contain graphite.
- B.I.6000 – new base Atomic season 2019-2020. Fits on Redster S9 Carbon, C9 Carbon, C9 Carbon Skintec. According to the manufacturers, it contains 10% of a “special additive” to improve glide.
Atomic Structures
If the skis do not have a special sticker with a structure mark, then one of the standard ones is applied:
- Blue construction - structure code M10, t from -3 and colder
- The yellow design is the same M10, t from -3 and colder
- Red design - structure code M11, t from -4 and warmer
Available structures for pre-order skis:
- AC 5- cold structure. Works well in Russia. Optimal conditions: -8 -30. Interestingly, Salomon recommends the same structure at -8 -20. Therefore, conditionally, it is -8 and colder.
- AM 7- universal structure for a slight minus. Optimally works from -12 to -4.
- AM 6– structure on -1 -8. Works great on coarse-grained snow after a thaw.
- A.W.7– warm structure at -5 +5. Suitable for coarse-grained spring snow. Works well in late spring in Russia. Salomon recommends the same structure at 0-2.
Atomik officially declares only such structures. But Atomic and Salomon are produced at the same factory and the structures are applied in Altenmarkt (the letter A in the code is Altenmarkt, W is warm, C is cold, M is medium), which means that the structures are common
Serial number of Atomic skis: decoding
Number 7316 6661
- 7 - year of production (2017)
- 316 - serial number of the day of production from the beginning of the year
- 6661 - pair number
- Uni - universal construction (like Salomon's Yellow), m / h - medium / hard stiffness
- 75 - 95+ - recommended skier weight for this pair in kg
Hardness measurement numbers on Atomic skis
- In the center with a weight sign, the force in kilograms is written, which is fixed for each ski length - SLF. On skis with individual selection, an additional sticker is indicated in the upper right corner.
- SLF(Ski length factor) - a certain force that is fixed for each ski length. It is necessary to obtain the FT score. The load is applied 8 cm below the balance point.
On the ski sticker with additional measurements, all measurements are indicated:
- L1- block length in cm from the center of the ski forward after applying the SLF force
- L2- block length in cm from the center of the ski back after applying the SLF force
- L3- the distance from the highest point of the block to the balance point of the ski with a force in SLF
- VSP- the height of the block at the point of balance without applying force
- FT(Final tension) - the same H3 and HBW - pad height in mm at the highest point after applying force in SLF
- MF- the load to be applied 8 cm below the balance point to compress the pad to 0.2 mm
Please note that Salomon claims a point of 7 cm, Atomic - 8 cm, Fischer - 7 cm. There are discrepancies in the sources, in one place they write 8 cm, in another 7 cm. In practice, this is not so important. People run on skis, not robots, everyone has a different push, different load distribution on the foot, etc. Approximately 7-8 cm - this information is enough.
Technologies and construction of Atomic skis
SDS (Short Distance Step) technology - special inserts in the area of \u200b\u200bthe holding zone on classic skis. According to the manufacturers, it slightly raises the pad area, which prevents the holding ointment from slowing down in the sliding phase. At the same time, the overall stiffness of the skis is maintained.
What layers does the ski consist of?
- Base (slipper)
- Laminate layers
- Core
- Again several layers of laminate
- Cap (lid)
Atomic ski cores in section
Nomex with SDS. The lightest core, put on top models. The photo shows Atomic WorldCup Classic skis with SDS technology (a layer between sliding plastic and a honeycomb structure).
Nomex. The lightest core, put on top models.
Densolite and Nomex. The photo shows a section of Atomic Race skis. Now these are no longer produced, but the structure and content of the skis have not changed. Presumably, now it is Atomic S7.
Densolite and Nomex
Densolite. There is a densolite of different densities: 1000, 2000 and 3000. The larger the number, the more porous and light the material. Used in Atomic S5 and below.
Characteristics of racing and sports skis Atomic 2019-2020 in tables
Atomic Redster S9 Carbon, Redster S9, Redster S7, Redster S5 and Redster Skintec racing skis
A racing model with Redster C9 Carbon Skintec skin has appeared in the classic line. Including with a platform for the new Prolink Shift movable mounts. Now Atomic and Salomon have added a necessary detail to skis with skins - the ability to move Prolink bindings. To do this, the Prolink Shift Plate platform is installed in the standard holes, which allows you to move the mounts by 5 positions.
The entire Carbon series of skis is now available with the new BI 6000 base, we wrote about it above.
Atomic Pro S1 and S2 Pro CS1 Skate Skis
Skis marked “L” are a women's series with a different design and sizes.

Atomic cross-country skis by weight
Racing Atomic classic skis selected by Your ski sticker - a simple and understandable way to select skis without memorizing complex indicators.
By the color of the square in the graph, we determine the design of the skis (yellow, red, blue). On the Y axis - weight, on the X axis - the height of the block. According to the sticker, the skis are suitable for 72-94 kg (the entire length of the Y axis). We look at the FT (HBW) indicator. At 90 kg, the skis will press down to 0.8 mm, at 80 kg - up to 1.1 mm. The larger the gap, the greater the force needed to close the block and the less the holding ointment will slow down in the rolling phase. This pair will suit an amateur weighing 85-90 kg and a trained athlete weighing 80-85 kg.
Sticker Atomic Your Ski
For a more accurate selection skating Atomic recommends using FT. For example, skis with a weight range of 75-95 kg with FT 2.4 will fit 75 kg, and with FT 3.0 - 95 kg. Please keep in mind that these are estimates. The selection of skis largely depends on the level of training of the athlete and the type of track.
How are asphalt skis made? Everybody normal people they buy new good ones, and the old ones are transferred to the "asphalt" section - for training on poor coverage, where it's a pity to spoil the good ones. I have it the other way around. There is no money for new good ones, I bought new "asphalt" ones. My response to the crisis.
I had no particular doubts - I took the Atomic Pro Classic.
I've wanted to try them for a long time. Skis are popular, inexpensive and, from the outside, they ride well.
The color is bright, they look in the snow - just fire!
I took a size of 188 cm. Geometry 45-45-45.
I pass by the declared weight. Pay attention - the wide piping on the sides is clearly visible in this photo.
On my 170 cm height, of course, the skis are a bit short. But less in the bushes I will get stuck on the ski tracks of the Moscow region.
The heels are fixed like this.
The structure when buying is applied like this. A little pokotsala already, but still visible.
I draw your attention - Atomic Pro Classic skis without a notch. It is necessary to use holding ointments! The recommended markings for applying holding ointments are on the side faces of the Atomic Pro Classic.
The core, as in Atomic Pro skates, is Ultrahigh Densolite.
I was pleased with the result of weighing. Weight of Atomic Pro Classic skis with Fisher R3 Classic bindings. One ski - 750 gr, the other - 780 gr. The weight difference doesn't surprise me anymore. Before that, I dealt with Atomic Pro Skate - those also had different weights (820 and 840).
But what surprised me was that the classic Atomics Pro turned out to be lighter than the skate ones. Although just in the skate, the weight of the ski is very significant to me personally.
When installing the bindings, the Atomic Pro Classic skis surprised me for the second time. The balance points of the skis turned out to be in slightly different places. But it doesn't matter. I do not run competitions on them. I have others for this.
Tried them in cold weather. After the purchase, I applied cold paraffin, according to temperature. In training sessions to develop the technique of the classic move on a flat terrain, they showed themselves well. Although it is difficult for me to evaluate skis in such conditions.
Finally got out with the Atomics into the forest. That's what they were bought for. good skis it's a pity to take it to the wilds near Moscow. Distance - 50 km. The average temperature is -20. In the morning I didn’t get into the ointment, I applied a warmer one. The first half of the way the skis were terribly slow. I really regretted that I bought them, remembering my Salomon Equipe 10 Classic with longing. To catch up with comrades, you just had to run after them from the hills.
In the afternoon I found out that sand had stuck under the block. It was I who in the morning crossed a path sprinkled with sand in skis - the skis are asphalt, it’s not a pity. When I took off all this disgrace - the skis went very well.
Second experience. Again in the cold. Temperature -20. Rogaining competition. The holding ointment is green swix, the glide is good, I liked it. For comparison - my partner was on Rossignol Zymax Classic, for some reason they glided much worse (maybe it's the ointment).
I tried plus. Temperature +1+2, Paraffin - yellow swix - CH10. Glide is great!
Skis are stable and quite nimble. What else is needed? The Atomic Pro Classic skis are good for asphalt and run-in skis. And they will also bring a lot of pleasant minutes to amateurs - athletes.
