length is mostly a stability decision. Skiers still building confidence benefit from the shorter sizes, where the ski comes around with very little input. The sidecut is identical to the Atomic Maven 88 CTI at every shared length, so if a skier demos one and likes the shape, the other will feel familiar and simply firmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a flat ski, mounting with any standard alpine binding on a four-hole pattern without a plate. The sole norm printed on your boot sets compatibility, not the ski. The brake has to clear the waist of the length you order, so 88 mm is the floor at 165 cm and a 90 mm brake works across the run. There is no published mount point, so the factory boot-center mark is what we use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ccbb-rating-key\"\u003eLength and mount guidance from CCBB ski staff.

The 86 and 88 in the names come from different reference lengths in each ski's own run. The real difference is construction, where the 88 CTI carries titanal and this one does not, and the 86 C stops at 165 cm.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat bindings work with the Atomic Maven 86 C?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-faq-answer\"\u003eThe Maven 86 C is a flat ski and takes any standard alpine binding on a four-hole pattern with no reinforcing plate. Compatibility comes from the sole norm printed on your boot rather than from the ski.

It stiffens the ski along its length so the shape holds through a turn, without the weight or the damping that titanal brings.

Skiers who progress to skiing fast on firm snow will start to feel the ski get deflected where a damper ski would hold. Because the Atomic Maven 88 CTI shares this exact sidecut, moving up the line later means a firmer ski that turns the same way rather than a fresh adjustment.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat length Atomic Maven 86 C should I choose?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-faq-answer\"\u003eFour lengths run 147 cm to 165 cm on a 14 m to 15.5 m radius, a narrow spread, so length is mostly about stability. Skiers still gaining confidence do better on the shorter sizes, where the ski turns with very little input.

It carries the same shape as the stiffer Atomic Maven 88 CTI, 121-87.5-106 mm at 165 cm, on a poplar-based core with a carbon stringer and no metal, at 1,400 g per ski. That makes it easy to bend, easy to turn, and easy to carry. The cost is composure at speed and on hard snow, which is a fair trade for the skier this is built for. Anyone already skiing fast should start one step up the line instead.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Atomic","offers":[{"title":"147 \/ Whiteout","offer_id":48797086580893,"sku":"AA0030892147","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"153 \/ Whiteout","offer_id":48797086613661,"sku":"AA0030892153","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"159 \/ Whiteout","offer_id":48797086646429,"sku":"AA0030892159","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"165 \/ Whiteout","offer_id":48797086679197,"sku":"AA0030892165","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/ATP_AA0030892_2_GHO_Maven_86C_FullImageWebOptimized.avif?v=1788371240","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/products\/atomic-maven-86-c-alpine-ski","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
