Atlas Women's Elektra 9 Series FRS Snowshoes

Atlas Women's Elektra 9 Series FRS Snowshoes

A new era in Atlas suspension! The Elektra 9 Series FRS snowshoe uses our patent-pending Free-Rotating™ Suspension (FRS) for natural articulation of the foot over uneven and sidehill terrain with minimal resistance – providing the most comfortable, forgiving stride. FRS flexes the women’s-specific shape of the 6061 aluminum proprietary V-Frame with each step, giving the toe traction deeper purchase. The flexible Wrapp™ women’s bindings tighten easily and cradle the foot securely. Even in the dead cold of winter, the Nytex decking is both flexible and durable.

Whether you’re new to snowshoeing or looking for Atlas technology at a great value, the new Elektra 9 Series FRS is built to explore winter’s rolling terrain.

Key Features:

• Free-Rotating™ Suspension
  Designed for Atlas Trail Walking snowshoes, Free-Rotating™ Suspension (FRS) cushions each step, allowing for natural articulation of the foot with minimal resistance and unparalleled freedom of movement. The Free-Rotating™ Suspension (FRS), suspend your foot so it can move freely, absorbing impact and letting your foot flex naturally side-to-side on traverses and uneven terrain enhancing traction. FRS provides snowshoers the ultimate in trail versatility.

• V-Frames
  A proprietary Atlas shape, our sturdy aluminum V-Frames are the key to an efficient, natural stride. The V shape tracks straight in deep snow, and the tapered tail pulls less snow as you step forward, saving your energy. The turned-up tail of the V-frame rolls easily into each step for a natural gait. Built with lightweight, durable 6000- and 7000-series aluminum, the V-frames are used on all Atlas snowshoes, including our new Youth Series.

• Elektra Design
  The Elektra women’s designs grew from a two-year biomechanics research program to a deep line of successful women’s snowshoes that continue to lead the industry. Our Elektra frames are shaped to accommodate a woman’s natural gait, with tapered tails, a narrower nose and outside rolling bends that nest the snowshoes together comfortably. Since women’s needs are more than frame-deep, our binding designs are molded around a women’s boot last, offer increased arch support and use carefully-placed strapping and padding to eliminate pressure points and keep circulation moving in the cold.
  

• Nytex Decking
  Flexible Nytex decking is forgiving and quiet when hiking in the cold, providing durability without the weight.

• Strapp™ Binding
  The Strapp™ binding offers Wrapp™ binding function - molded arch support, one-pull Uniloop design, no-hassle straps and gender-specific lasts - with a minimalist approach at an increased value.

• Twin-Trac™ Toe Crampon
  Sure footing on two planes, the Twin-Trac™ toe crampon uses a sturdy row of front points and two side teeth to keep your foot from twisting.

• Tri-Cleat
  Our newest aft traction, the Tri-Cleat provides three planes of grip for security on rolling terrain and a no-twist step.

• Recommended for: Women 80 - 200+ lbs.
