Atomic SX:11 Skate Skis?

Anybody know anything about these? The graphics were an attempt to
achieve some sort of marketing tie-in with their alpine "cross" skis
(which are basically race skis with slightly wider waists and slightly
softer flex patterns, to be used to "skiercross" competitions, but
also make good choices for eastern skiers who want race-like
performance but aren't actually racing).
The SX:11 seems to be based on Atomic's skate skis, but just wondering
if anyone knows exactly how they differ, and how they compare in terms
of performance to the RS:9 or RS:10?

Sorry I don't have any information for you regarding these skis. I am also interested in them. I did an extensive web search and couldn't find any user-based information about them. Please let me know if you have found out anything about them outside of this forum.

I discovered that they're basically a super stiff version of the RS:10
and meant to be skied in very short lengths. Great for climbing,
great for crazy fast turny downhills, but glide suffers on the flats.

Are they different than the RS 11?

That sums things up pretty well.

I don't have any personal experience with them, but I can tell you
that you will occaisionally see world cup skiers on skis with those
graphics. I'm not real sure what's "under the hood" I think they are
just early RS:11s

For this year, the ski is the NX and has the same (traditional)
sidecut as the other skate skis. I believe that last years SX had the
more extreme Beta sidecut, which would make it great on the downhills
and such. Not as great for climbing etc. I've seen a few good
citizen level racers use them for extremely icy snow conditions.
