2026 Atomic Maverick 96 CTI Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings

The 2026 Atomic Maverick 96 CTi with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a fresh addition to the Maverick family, replacing the outgoing 95 Ti and drawing inspiration from the beloved 105 CTi. Built for versatility and soft snow prowess, this revamped ski sports a softer shovel and carbon-enhanced construction that deliver an intuitive and agile feel through trees, bumps, and powder stashes. We paired the Maverick 96 CTI with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

Atomic’s updates to the Maverick 96 CTi really hit the mark. We’re especially impressed by how well it blends soft snow float with nimble edge-to-edge quickness—traits that elevate it in tight or technical terrain.

Who it's for:

Advancing intermediates and expert all-mountain skiers alike will enjoy the Maverick 96 CTi’s confidence-inspiring flex and easy-going performance. It’s a perfect fit for those looking to explore more of the mountain, especially off the beaten path.

Highlights:

Atomic brings a host of refinements to this model, including wider and softer HRZN 3D tips for improved float and steering in soft snow. A reworked tail rocker adds quickness and mobility in deep terrain, while a denser wood core and carbon give the ski extra energy without making it demanding. These changes result in a smooth, lively feel that expands its appeal without sacrificing capability. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

Hard-charging skiers who value precision on firm snow may notice the softer tips start to fold or chatter at high speeds. The 96 CTi prefers a dynamic, nimble approach over fast, high-G groomer turns.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Maverick 96 CTi skis true to size. Length selection should align with skier height, weight, terrain preferences, and how you like to drive your skis.
