What the model says

Carve radius, to scale

  • Sidecut radius: 17 m
  • Carve radius at 30° edge: 14.7 m
  • Carve radius at 45° edge: 12 m
All three drawn on one scale, from the same starting point. A smaller arc is a tighter turn.

Edge hold and float

  • Edge hold: 98%, Holds well
  • Float: 61%, Some float
Ticks mark where the word changes. For 90 kg at 172 cm: hold on groomed snow, float in powder. Model figures, not measurements.

These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).

By ability

The Atomic Maverick 96 CTi at 172 cm for a 90 kg skier on groomed snow. Reviewers are mostly experts, so read the left of each band for what most skiers get.

Edge hold

On firm snow, 172 cm
  • First-timer: slides (18%)
  • Beginner: slides (40%)
  • Intermediate: on the limit (69%), assumed level
  • Advanced: holds well (93%)
  • Expert: holds well (98%)
assumed intermediate: on the limit (69%)

Float

In soft snow
  • First-timer: some float (47%)
  • Beginner: some float (50%)
  • Intermediate: some float (53%), assumed level
  • Advanced: some float (57%)
  • Expert: some float (61%)
assumed intermediate: some float (53%)

Ease

How forgiving it is
  • First-timer: hard (0%)
  • Beginner: manageable (62%)
  • Intermediate: easy (100%), assumed level
  • Advanced: easy (100%)
  • Expert: easy (91%)
assumed intermediate: easy (100%)

Our model, run with working assumptions about how each level skis (edge angle, speed, how much weight reaches the edge). Not measurements. The marked cell assumes an intermediate skier; compare with your own details to see your own level.

    What reviewers say

    • 2026 Atomic Maverick 96 CTi Ski Review

      Bob St.Pierre · 3 Apr 2025 · 179 cm tested

      Atomic updates the Maverick line with the 96 CTi, replacing the 95 Ti. Featuring a blend of ash and poplar alongside carbon and titanal, this model shifts slightly away from stiff carving toward softer snow agility and all-mountain versatility. Testers note an easier pivot, improved powder and crud performance, and lively turn transitions, though the front can feel a bit flexible at high speeds on firm snow.

      “this new 96 CTi leans to the more dramatic side of the spectrum” (Bob St.Pierre)
