Backland 85 W 2023
Product not eligible for returnThe Backland 85 W are touring ski for women from Atomic. This model is the most versatile of the range, it will perform equally well on both uphill and downhill.
The Backland range's success comes from its perfect adaptation to both aspects of ski touring. The Ultra Light Woodcore makes the skis extremely light for ascents and extremely stable for descents. They perform just as well on packed snow as in powder.
This new version features the Horizon Tech spoon-shaped tip, which makes the skis even lighter and easier to ski off-piste, even on crusty snow. The Cap Sidewall construction guarantees ideal power transmission and excellent grip on all types of terrain and the tip rocker makes riding easy on all types of snow.
They are very versatile, perform well on all types of terrain and offer stability worthy of alpine skis. They include a carbon insert that reinforces the structure of the skis without weighing them down. Pre-cut skins are also available for this type of skis.
The Backland 85 W is designed for easy ascents and excellent downhill performance in all types of snow.

Construction:
- Ultra Light Woodcore: This core combines the strength of beech and the lightness of poplar to provide our racing skis with phenomenal stability and agility.
- Cap Sidewall: these full sidewalls ensure ideal power transmission and excellent grip.
Shape:
- All Mountain Rocker: 15% tip rocker / 85% classic camber: tip rocker that erases the irregularities of the terrain and makes it easier to enter curves.
Technologies:
- HZRN Tech: the ABS construction combined with a ground breaking rocker design increases the surface of the tip and tail by 10%. It reduces tip deflection for better control on packed and choppy snow without changing turning inertia.
- Carbon Backbone: ultra-light carbon insert that acts as a stabiliser along the entire length of the ski for better agility and exceptional grip without weighing the ski down.
Le Backland 85 revient cet hiver avec les mêmes qualités qu'on lui connait, et c'est pour notre plus grand plaisir ! Sa spatule en forme de cuillère lui procure une portance irréprochable en poudreuse pour un ski de ce gabarit et sa construction légère facilite les montées afin de vous économiser un maximum pour envoyer en descente. Il est donc très polyvalent pour les randonneurs recherchant de la performance en montée comme en descente !
Les plus : rapport poids/performances, polyvalence.
Les moins : manque un peu de largeur en neige profonde.
