Atomic Redster J2 100-120 2027 Red Tension/ Black Ski + C 5 GW

The Atomic Redster J2 100-120 2027 Red Tension / Black Ski + C 5 GW is a sporty children’s ski for young skiers who are mastering their first turns and gaining more and more confidence. This junior piste ski is designed for children ages 5 to 8 and combines the race-oriented look of the Redster collection with an accessible construction. Thanks to Bend-X Technology, even lighter children can easily flex the ski, making turns require less effort. The lightweight Densolite Core and Race Rocker profile ensure an agile, controlled skiing experience. With the included C 5 GW bindings, this set is ideal for little skiers with big plans.

Terrain: Groomed Slopes & Carving

The Redster J2 100-120 is right at home on groomed slopes, where young skiers practice their first turns and further develop their technique. The lightweight construction and narrow waist make it easy to change direction. Even when the snow gets a bit harder, the camber profile provides enough edge grip for controlled skiing. This ski is less suitable for deep powder or freestyle in the snow park.

Profile: Race Rocker 5/95/0

The Race Rocker profile combines 95% traditional camber with 5% rocker at the tip and a traditional tail. The camber provides grip and stability when making turns. The slightly raised front makes it easier to initiate new turns, which is especially helpful for children who are still developing their technique. This makes the ski feel predictable without requiring a lot of effort.

Shape & Sidecut: V-Shape

The V-Shape features a wider tip and a narrower tail, making it easier for young skiers to initiate and finish turns. At a length of 110 cm, the ski has dimensions of 105-67-86 mm and a turning radius of 8 meters. This short radius makes the ski exceptionally maneuverable at lower speeds. This allows children to practice short turns with ease and gradually develop more control and precision.

Flex & Construction

The Redster J2 features a supple, child-friendly flex tailored to the lower weight and strength of young skiers. The Densolite Core consists of lightweight foam material that helps dampen vibrations and keeps the ski easy to control. The Dura Cap construction ensures a sturdy, durable finish. Thanks to the special flex zone under the binding, even lighter children can build up enough pressure on the edges to make controlled turns.

Level: Beginner to Intermediate

This ski is ideal for children who are learning to ski or can already make simple turns on their own. The accessible flex and agile geometry help young skiers build confidence and improve their technique step by step. Even children who are already skiing parallel with some ease can continue to develop their skills with this Redster. For experienced juniors who want to race at high speeds, a stiffer race ski is more suitable.

Technologies: Bend-X Technology & Densolite Core

Bend-X Technology uses a special flex zone under the binding, making it easier even for lighter children to flex the ski. This helps guide the ski through a turn in a controlled manner without requiring a lot of force.

The Densolite Core is a lightweight foam core that dampens vibrations and provides a comfortable, easy-to-control skiing experience. Ideal for young skiers who are actively working on their technique.

The Dura Cap construction extends the topsheet over the sides, providing extra protection against impacts and wear. This makes the ski more durable during intense days on the slopes.

Which ski length should you choose?

The Redster J2 100-120 is available in 100, 110, and 120 cm. A shorter length makes the ski easier to turn and control for smaller or less experienced children. A longer length offers more stability as the child grows and gains confidence on the slopes. As a general guideline, Atomic recommends a ski length for children ages 6 to 12 that reaches approximately to the middle of the forehead. When making your selection, also consider the child’s weight, experience, and confidence level.

Bindings & Assembly

The Atomic Redster J2 100-120 2027 comes as a complete ski set with C 5 GW bindings. So you don’t need to buy bindings separately. The junior bindings must be properly adjusted to the ski boots and the child’s personal measurements. Before use, have a professional check that the bindings are correctly mounted and adjusted and that the ski boots are compatible with the binding system.

Stoked Expert Advice

The Redster J2 100-120 is a great choice for young skiers taking their first steps toward smooth, controlled turns. The Bend-X Technology, in particular, makes a difference for lighter children who don’t yet have enough strength to easily bend a stiffer ski. Are you looking for an accessible kids’ ski with bindings that will let your child grow with confidence? Then this Atomic model is an excellent starting point.
