ATOMIC Maverick 88 CTI are men’s/unisex all-mountain skis for sporty skiers looking for a stable and versatile model for skiing across different types of terrain – from hardpack and groomed slopes to powder. According to the supplied information, the skis are focused on high stability and strong functionality on firm snow, while their character is designed to combine power, precision and playfulness. The product classification places them in both the All Mountain/All Round and Freeride categories, while the 87–89 mm waist, depending on length, forms the basis of their versatile character.
The construction is based on a Power Woodcore, complemented by HRZN 3D Maverick/Maven, Directional Shape, CTI Powered and Dura Cap Sidewall technologies. The model uses an All Mountain Rocker 15/75/10 profile, Matte Topsheet, Dura Edge and World Cup Base Finish. The technical specifications list a weight of 1770 g for the 179 cm length, although the source does not specify whether this figure refers to one ski or a pair.
According to the supplied data, the geometry changes with ski length. For the 165–186 cm versions, the listed dimensions range from 121-87.5-106 mm to 127-89-112 mm, while the source lists 11-87-104 mm for the 159 cm length. Compared with the other lengths, this figure appears incomplete or incorrect, but without an additional verified source we do not correct or supplement it. The radius ranges from 15 m at 159 cm to 17 m at 186 cm, meaning all listed values correspond to the Medium (14–17 m) product classification.
ATOMIC Maverick 88 CTI are listed in the supplied information both as a Flat version without bindings and as a lifted version with Strive 14 GW. The Flat version carries manufacturer code AA0030934, while the lifted version with Strive 14 GW is designated AAST02574. The recommended binding is Strive 14 GW (AD5002392) with a recommended D 90 brake. The product classification also includes the specification “Binding up to 140 kg”, but the source does not provide a DIN value or a specific binding adjustment range, so we do not add these values without further supporting information.
Who are these skis designed for
ATOMIC Maverick 88 CTI are primarily designed for sporty skiers looking for stable men’s/unisex all-mountain skis for combining groomed slopes, hardpack, powder and varied mountain terrain. The character of the model is primarily defined by its 87–89 mm waist depending on length, Power Woodcore, CTI Powered, HRZN 3D Maverick/Maven and All Mountain Rocker 15/75/10.

Maverick 88 CTI combine an 87–89 mm waist, Power Woodcore, CTI Powered, HRZN 3D Maverick/Maven and All Mountain Rocker 15/75/10 with an all-mountain/freeride focus. According to the supplied information, this is a highly stable and versatile model for sporty skiers who want to combine skiing on hardpack and groomed slopes with powder and other mountain terrain.
How the skis behave on snow
ATOMIC Maverick 88 CTI use an All Mountain Rocker 15/75/10 profile. This designation is stated directly in both the technology list and the technical description. However, the supplied information does not explain the exact meaning of the individual values or their units, so without an additional source we do not interpret them as a specific percentage-based or length-based distribution of the individual profile sections.
The radius ranges from 15 to 17 m depending on length. The 159 cm version has a 15 m radius, the 165 cm length 15.5 m, 172 cm 16 m, 179 cm 16.5 m and the longest 186 cm version 17 m. All specific values therefore correspond to the Medium (14–17 m) product category.
The product information characterises the Maverick 88 CTI as highly stable skis for different types of terrain, offering strong functionality on hardpack and a balance of power, precision and playfulness. The product classification combines All Mountain/All Round and Freeride while also specifying use in powder and on groomed slopes. The construction includes HRZN 3D Maverick/Maven, Directional Shape and CTI Powered. However, the supplied information does not explain in detail how the individual technologies specifically affect stability, stiffness, edge grip or other skiing characteristics, so we do not expand on these claims without an additional verified source.
How to read the specifications

165 cm – 121-87.5-106 mm
172 cm – 123-88-108 mm
179 cm – 125-88.5-110 mm
186 cm – 127-89-112 mm
For the 159 cm length, the supplied source explicitly lists 11-87-104 mm. Compared with the other geometry values, this may be incomplete or incorrect, but without an additional verified source we do not correct it independently. The waist width is clearly specified for all lengths and ranges from 87 mm at 159 cm to 89 mm at 186 cm, corresponding to the product classification of an under-binding width of 85–100 mm.

ATOMIC Maverick 88 CTI use the Dura Cap Sidewall construction element.
This designation appears in both the technology list and the technical construction description. However, the exact material composition and construction of the sidewalls are not described in greater detail in the supplied information, so we do not add properties beyond the stated technology name.
Dura Edge
The designation Dura Edge appears in both the technology list and the edge tuning specifications.
The supplied information does not provide further details regarding the material, dimensions or construction of these edges. We therefore do not add specific claims about their durability or other properties beyond the stated technology name without an additional verified source.
