Brand and Model Context

Atomic was founded in 1955 by Alois Rohrmoser, a 23-year-old wheelwright from Wagrain, Austria. Starting with a small workshop and just four employees, Rohrmoser hand-carved the first 40 pairs of Atomic skis from locally sourced wood. The brand quickly grew to become one of the world’s premier ski manufacturers, known for its innovative construction techniques and consistent success on the World Cup circuit. Today, Atomic is the largest ski manufacturer globally under the Amer Sports umbrella.

The ARC 735 RS model is part of Atomic’s race ski lineup, designed specifically for giant slalom and downhill racing disciplines. These skis feature the Module Technic construction, which was cutting-edge at the time, providing rigidity and responsiveness essential for high-speed turns and stability on race courses. The skis are 215cm in length, placing them in the category of long skis favored for giant slalom and super-G events.

Additional technical features include a micro stone ground base with a structured bevelled edge, enhancing glide and edge hold on hard snow. The high molecular sintered base material ensures durability and speed. The skis incorporate a Power Flex Core, contributing to their dynamic flex pattern and energy transfer. The vibrant purple and pink color scheme reflects the vintage aesthetic of the late 1980s to early 1990s era.

Mounted on these skis are Look Pivot 14 ZRC bindings, a 3D system known for its reliable release mechanism and precision, favored by racers for safety and performance. The bindings complement the ski’s race-oriented design, making this setup a complete package for vintage race ski enthusiasts and collectors.
