Atomic D2 Doubledeck

Other houses had previously tried solutions like this (the most famous French ilMutixdella Rossignol), but had not met favor with the public, either for prices higher than normal skis, either because it were very effective.

The Atomic instead was very determined in the introduction of D2, so much to replace the gloriosoBetacarve (the structures used for years in the slopes of high level, comprises two long strips of wood longitudinally traveling along the entire ski) to Since the cross-country race.

In Austria, the tests conducted have convinced (speaking for the first test of 2008 and 2009 for the adoption of the system from the World Cup) so much the technical diAltenmarktda choose a different route for the introduction of a technology so innovative: the first of the top athletes on skis, then on all ski racing, and finally in business!

have been right in the first year of introduction of D2 numbers speak for themselves: ilPowerteam ATOMIC World Cup: 4 gold, 4 silver, 4 bronze at the World Ski Championships in Val d'Isere. Win the World Cup overall Aksel Lund Svindal. Three crystal balls minors: Svindal (Super G), Janka (Super Combined), Walchhofer (downhill). In all, 20 wins in 70 Cup races in the world, 51 podium finishes, 163 results in the top ten. But how does this

D2 Double-deck? First of all, remember that there are two types: the Vario Cut and Vario Felx: the first allows to vary the hardness of the ski, and is we are talking about in this article and the one adopted in the World Cup. The second one allows to vary the sidecut of the ski itself, thanks to a band of rubber material and plastic that literally cuts in two skiing.

The reason for the success of the Vario Flex is its simplicity: along the center of the ski runs covered with a banda allen screws or through which, loosening the center allows the ski to flex more, allowing you to run arcs minor or to have a ski softer and less responsive, ideal for soft snow. Tightening the screws instead labarra D2 adheres completely to the ski and it becomes one, the result will be a tighter and more stable slopes, higher performance on hard ground, ice and compact. How much of the Atomic

, even the models equipped with D2 sonoesigentie require a decent strength and fitness to be exploited to the fullest.
