Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Increase your chances of winning your next snowshoe race with the super lightweight Atlas Race Snowshoes. This snowshoe has won more races than all other race models combined. The Hypalon II decking is puncture proof and lasts as long as you continue to race. The titanium front and rear crampons cut down on weight but grip surfaces like crazy. The turned up V-tail gives you a natural stride and reduces surface area for faster times. The lightweight binding cinches down to a light hiker or tennis shoe for less bulk."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"You don't have to race on the Atlas Race snowshoe, but if you did you would be on the lightest running snowshoe in the industry. The big difference between this snowshoe and the Atlas Run snowshoe is a lighter 7075 aluminum frame with titanium toe and heel crampons. The overall design is based on the previous Dual Trac SL racing snowshoe, but this season Atlas replaced the urethane deck with an environmentally friendly EpoTek decking that still remains just as rugged as its predecessor. The Snow Race features the same patented spring-loaded binding used in the top 10 and 12 Series snowshoes, so you enjoy true forward and side hill articulation with incredible balance. Some of us on the staff have run on Atlas racing snowshoes for years and we've found that these durable designs work exceptionally well on packed snow. Atlas does suggest using these running snowshoes for loads up to 190 lbs. (220 lbs on packed snow) but remember that some running styles generate far more impact in excess of 190 lbs. with every stride and this isn't a design built for extra floatation (unless you are among the lucky few who weigh less than 120 lbs. while fully dressed and ready to run). With that in mind, if you're looking for a way to stay in shape throughout the entire winter, the lightweight and rugged Atlas Race snowshoe is several strides ahead of the nearest competition. For racers who don't need titanium fixtures and performance aluminum frame to reach a personal best, the Atlas Run snowshoe offers the same proportions with a handful of additional ounces."

From CampSaver.com:
"Take it from the experts - the Atlas Racing Team. The Atlas Race is the snowshoe of choice for our athletes, and together theyre found on snowshoe and adventure race podiums around the world. Driven by Spring-Loaded Suspension, the Race stays close underfoot and allows for a natural stride over uneven terrain. The one-pull binding wraps under the arch and ball of foot for comfort and security.
