Redster Q9.8 Revoshock S represent a combination of performance precision, stability and versatility that is particularly valuable for skiers who spend the entire day on the slopes. Thanks to their wider waist, active camber profile and solid construction, they provide confidence when carving on hard-packed pistes as well as when skiing through softer and chopped-up snow. However, their primary environment remains groomed slopes – they are not specialised freeride skis designed for deep powder.
How the skis perform on snow
On hard, well-groomed pistes, ATOMIC Redster Q9.8 Revoshock S stand out for their stable turn control, precise power transmission to the edges and dynamic response under pressure. The Active Camber 0/100/0 profile supports effective edge contact with the snow, while the combination of the Power Woodcore wooden core, Ti Powered Titanal reinforcement and Ultrawall sidewalls creates a solid foundation for performance carving. Although these skis have a wider waist than specialised slalom models, they maintain precise and predictable behaviour when skiing on their edges.
At higher speeds, the benefits of Revoshock S become particularly noticeable. This technology helps reduce unwanted vibrations and supports smoother, more consistent contact between the skis and the snow. This is especially important when skiing on hard surfaces or passing over smaller irregularities. Carbon Boost contributes to energetic acceleration out of turns and a quicker response when changing direction, while Ti Powered supports torsional stability and precise edge control under greater loads.
Thanks to Multi Radius Sidecut, the skis allow skiers to naturally vary turn length according to speed, technique and the intensity of pressure applied. During active skiing, they can deliver quick, shorter carving turns, while smoother ski handling allows medium and longer arcs. The turning radius of 12.8 to 15.2 m creates a versatile character that is not limited to just one type of carving.
The biggest difference compared with narrower performance skis becomes apparent on soft, chopped-up and uneven snow. The 83.5–85 mm waist provides a larger supporting surface and helps the skis maintain more stable behaviour when crossing afternoon bumps and irregularities. All-Condition Piste Shape is specifically designed for changing piste conditions, allowing Redster Q9.8 Revoshock S to deliver performance even when the snow surface is no longer perfectly groomed. However, the wider construction means slightly less immediate edge-to-edge transitions compared with significantly narrower race-oriented skis.
Understanding the specifications
Sidecut dimensions 130-83.5-115 to 136-85-120.5 mm
The dimensions of ATOMIC Redster Q9.8 Revoshock S vary depending on length:
159 cm – 130-83.5-115 mm
166 cm – 132-84-117.5 mm
173 cm – 134-84.5-118.8 mm
181 cm – 136-85-120.5 mm
The waist width ranges from 83.5 to 85 mm depending on length, making it one of the most important specifications of this model. Compared with narrower carving skis, the wider construction provides additional support on soft and chopped-up snow while maintaining performance-oriented capabilities on groomed pistes.
As ski length increases, the width of the tip, waist and tail also increases. This combination influences stability, turn behaviour and overall versatility. The wider tip helps the skis maintain their direction in less consistent snow, while the corresponding tail width supports stable turn completion.
Turning radius 12.8–15.2 m
The turning radius is matched to each ski length:
159 cm – 12.8 m
166 cm – 13.6 m
173 cm – 14.4 m
181 cm – 15.2 m
Shorter lengths with a smaller turning radius support quicker initiation of shorter turns and more agile ski handling. Longer versions provide greater potential for smooth medium and longer carving turns, particularly at higher speeds.
Thanks to Multi Radius Sidecut, however, the skis are not restricted to a single turning radius. The actual turn characteristics change according to speed, technique and how the skis are loaded.
Lengths 159–181 cm
The model is available in four lengths: 159, 166, 173 and 181 cm.
Shorter versions may suit skiers who prefer easier handling and shorter turns, while longer lengths are more suitable for performance-oriented skiers looking for stability at higher speeds and greater support on uneven snow.
Choosing the correct length should always take into account height, weight, technical ability and preferred skiing style.
Weight 3344 g / 173 cm
The technical specifications state a weight of 3344 g for the 173 cm length.
The supplied information does not clarify whether this refers to a single ski, a pair of skis or the complete ski-and-binding setup, so the value is presented exactly as provided in the technical data.
Active Camber 0/100/0
ATOMIC Redster Q9.8 Revoshock S feature an Active Camber 0/100/0 profile designed for performance skiing on the edges.
Camber supports effective edge contact with the snow, precise carving performance and a dynamic response when the skis are loaded. This profile is particularly suitable for skiers who want to actively engage their edges and prefer precise control throughout the entire turn.
The designation 0/100/0 is retained exactly as stated in the technical specifications.
Technologies and construction
Revoshock S
Revoshock S is one of the key construction technologies featured in ATOMIC Redster Q9.8. It is designed to dampen unwanted vibrations generated during high-speed skiing and when the skis encounter irregularities in the snow surface.
