About this product

The Atomic Maverick 86 C is a 2026 all-mountain ski built for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a dependable, lightweight daily driver across varied resort terrain. Its OMatic Construction uses only essential materials to keep the single-ski weight at 1700g (184cm), while a poplar Light Woodcore balances vibration absorption with meaningful weight savings. A full-length carbon backbone, layered within a fiberglass and carbon laminate sandwich construction, adds stability at speed without introducing unwanted stiffness. The All Mountain Rocker profile (15 percent tip, 75 percent camber, 10 percent tail) keeps edge contact reliable on hardpack while remaining forgiving on chopped-up or off-piste snow. The 87.5mm waist (at 169cm) sits in a practical mid-width range, and the directional shape with a raised tail supports predictable turn entry across a turn radius of 14.2m to 19.5m depending on length. Available in five lengths from 153cm to 184cm, the ski rides on a sintered base with steel edges and finishes with a glossy Sage topsheet. A limited two-year manufacturer warranty is included.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the 2026 Atomic Maverick 86 C for its light, nimble feel and easy, intuitive handling, crediting the wood core and carbon backbone construction for keeping the ski both agile and stable without feeling flimsy. The updated shape, including a shorter radius and increased shovel taper, earns particular recognition for improved performance in softer snow, moguls, and tighter spaces compared to prior versions. It is widely recommended for intermediate skiers or less aggressive all-mountain riders who prioritize fun and versatility over raw speed. The most common criticism is that stability noticeably drops at higher speeds and on firm or icy snow, a limitation testers attribute directly to the absence of metal in the layup. Expert-level skiers pushing hard are likely to find it too squirrely, making it a poor fit for aggressive or fast-charging styles.
