Backland 98 W 2023
Product not eligible for returnThe Backland 98 W are touring skis for women from Atomic. Real freetouring skis with a 98mm waist which will allow you to have fun on descents while staying light on ascents.
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 model is exactly halfway between a freeride ski and a touring ski, it can tackle powder, choppy snow and even packed snow. The skis feature a Horizon Tech spoon-shaped tip, which provides you with perfect performance in powder snow and makes it 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 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 98 W are really made for freetouring lovers looking for light and wide skis, which adapt to all conditions.
