Description
The Atomic Redster J2 70-90 2027 Red Tension / Black Ski + C 5 GW is designed for young skiers embarking on their first adventures on the slopes. This lightweight children’s ski is specially designed for kids ages 3 to 5 and combines the sporty Redster look with a flexible, easy-to-control construction. Thanks to Bend-X Technology, even the smallest skiers can flex the ski enough to make their first turns. The lightweight Densolite Core and Race Rocker profile ensure a predictable ride and easy turn initiation. With the included C 5 GW bindings, this set provides a great foundation for young snow enthusiasts who want to learn to ski with confidence.
Terrain: Groomed Slopes & Learning to Ski
The Redster J2 70-90 is right at home on calm, groomed slopes and in the ski school’s practice area. The lightweight construction and short lengths help children steer their skis and change direction more easily. Thanks to the narrow waist and V-shape, young skiers can practice their first turns in a playful way. This children’s ski is not intended for higher speeds, deep snow, or challenging terrain.
Profile: Race Rocker 5/95/0
The Race Rocker profile combines 95% traditional camber with 5% rocker at the tip. The camber ensures stable contact with the snow and sufficient edge grip when making turns. The slightly raised front helps make it easier to initiate a new turn. This allows young skiers to turn their skis in a controlled manner without using much force.
Shape & Sidecut: V-Shape
The V-Shape features a wider tip and a narrower tail, making it easier to initiate and finish turns. At a length of 80 cm, the ski measures 88.5–64–73.5 mm and has a turning radius of 6.6 meters. This short radius ensures exceptional maneuverability at low speeds. Ideal for children practicing their first snowplows, turns, and controlled descents.
Flex & Construction
The Redster J2 70-90 features a supple junior flex specifically tailored to the low weight and limited strength of young children. 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 finish that can take a beating. Thanks to the special flex zone under the binding, even lighter children can flex the ski more easily and maintain contact with the snow.
Level: Beginner
This ski is ideal for children who are hitting the slopes for the first time or learning to make their first independent turns. The accessible flex, short turning radius, and lightweight construction help build confidence and allow children to discover the basics of skiing in a playful way. Even children who have already taken a few lessons can further develop their technique with this Redster. For taller or more technically advanced juniors, the Redster J2 100-120 is a logical next step.
Technologies: Bend-X Technology & Densolite Core
Bend-X Technology uses a special flex zone under the binding, allowing even the lightest skiers to easily flex the ski. This makes it easier to turn and keep the edges in controlled contact with the snow.
The Densolite Core is a lightweight foam core that helps absorb vibrations and provides a smooth, comfortable ride. This makes it easier for children to control their skis while learning.
Dura Cap extends the topsheet over the sides of the ski. This construction increases durability and makes the ski more resistant to the minor impacts that are part of a child’s first days on the slopes.
Which ski length should you choose?
The Redster J2 70-90 is available in 70, 80, and 90 cm. A shorter length makes the ski easier to maneuver for small children practicing their first turns. A longer length offers a bit more stability for older children who are already skiing more independently. For children ages 2 to 5, Atomic recommends a ski length that reaches just below the chin as a general guideline. Also take the child’s height, weight, and experience into account.
Bindings & Assembly
The Atomic Redster J2 70-90 2027 comes as a complete ski set with C 5 GW CA bindings. This means you don’t need to purchase separate bindings. The ski features a flat construction and comes with a junior binding system that must be professionally adjusted to the correct boot sole length. The bindings are designed for young skiers and must be checked for compatibility with the children’s ski boots being used. Always have the mounting, adjustment, and safety settings checked by a certified ski technician before use.
