A superlight ski for full-day missions, the Atomic Backland 86 SL is designed to fly down the piste and go down at full speed. A reinterpretation of the original Backland SL construction, the ski features a lower-impact design and uses more low-carbon raw materials to reduce production waste and reduce CO2 equivalent emissions by 30% (compared to the Backland 85, 2021).
The all-terrain profile uses a ratio of natural wood and fiberglass to create a ski shape that improves climbing and downhill performance on harder snow surfaces. The carbon structure adds stiffness, while the poplar/caruba wood core keeps the ski light and agile.
The HRZN 3D adds surface area to the tip to improve flotation in powder, while reducing roll weight for easier, faster and more powerful skiing. In powder, hard snow, on groomed slopes or on any terrain in between, the Backland 86 SL offers absolute confidence on any terrain. Choose an Atomic PreFit skin for the best touring setup.
Atomic Skin 85/86 is a high-quality PreFit Cut skin for Backland 85 and 86 SL skis from the Atomic Backland series, so it does not require any additional trimming.
