Description

Touring skis Backland 85 UL

The Backland 85 UL features Atomic's best technologies, with a poplar and karuba wood core and carbon reinforcements to achieve a weight of only 980g per ski in a size of 165, while ensuring a certain presence underfoot during descents, thanks to its 85mm All-mountain volume in the skid, a nice HRZN Tech rocker in the front for lift in fresh snow, and a flat heel to ensure precise trajectories.

What is the program of the Atomic Backland 85 UL ski?

The Backland 85 UL is ideal for multi-day tours and expeditions where lightness is a priority in order to avoid exhaustion during long climbs. The skiability remains excellent, with torsional rigidity thanks to the carbon, and an all-mountain volume that allows you to ski in soft snow, wet snow and light powder. The classic camber and the flat heel ensure a good grip on hard snow, as well as for ascents and for descents on slightly tiled portions. A ski that ensures performance in a variety of snow conditions and can even hold its own in a technical passage.

Who is the Atomic Backland 85 UL ski for?

This model is aimed at advanced to expert skiers looking for a touring ski that is really light on the ascent, but still offers enough width to pass through varied types of snow during descents and enjoy some skiability. It requires good techniques during descents, as do all light skis, and the touring programme is aimed at people who are already experienced in the field.

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?

What kind of skis should I buy ?

On glisshop.co.uk, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of products we sell. How can you find the right skis, which ones can suit your level, your style or your budget?

Your options:

1. The advanced search engine: You'll find it everywhere on our website, as a sidebar on our listing pages. It allows you to select conditions and refine your selection: brand, level, style, etc. When you select them, only the relevant products will show.

2. You can contact us on the 020 3129 3301: skis feature fine technologies and affect your safety. It is important to make sure that the skis you've selected will suit you. Call our landline and get in touch with our team for any questions regarding these products.

Do you fit the bindings on skis?

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

Are the skis ready to use?

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

Is the equipment under guarantee?

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
