The 2027 Atomic Maverick 86 C with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the lighter, more welcoming all-mountain ski in the Maverick range, aimed at advancing intermediates who want a forgiving daily driver that still carves. A Carbon Backbone layup in place of full CTI gives it a softer, easier temperament than its wider siblings. We paired the Maverick 86 C 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:

Lighter and softer than the muscular Mavericks, it asks for less effort and gives back more play at everyday speeds, which makes it a confidence builder that stays fun without wearing you out.

Who it's for:

Advancing intermediates and weekend skiers after a versatile all-mountain ski they can enjoy from first chair to last. It fits people who mix up conditions but are not trying to charge expert terrain or speeds.

Highlights:

The C in the name marks its Carbon Backbone construction, a lighter and more forgiving build than the full CTI layup elsewhere in the line. It finds enough torsional stiffness for dependable edge hold while skipping the heavy, demanding character of a full Titanal ski. The HRZN 3D tip keeps things tracking through variable snow and helps shed crud, and a camber-leaning rocker profile delivers real carving bite on groomers without locking the ski into one turn. Dura Cap sidewalls and Dura Edge add durability, with a factory tune ready to go. 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:

It is softer and less powerful than the heavier Mavericks. Aggressive or expert skiers chasing performance at speed will be better served by the Maverick 88 CTI or 96 CTI.

Fit & sizing considerations:

A balanced rocker keeps this one skiing true to length, so the size that matches your usual all-mountain ski is the right call.
