You are just ordering these bindings without the skis?
Please inquire which width your ski has in the middle. If you are insecure or your ski is out of the designated widths, our ski hotline will advise you.
Depending on the ski boot size and sidecut of your ski, the mounting point of the binding may change and thus the width of the ski may differ below the stopper.
Technical data
This system is characterized by a new geometry of the toe part elements.
Super easy and confident step in on the toe part, with any tech boot available on the market, even in case of worn out soles.
A special design of the toe part that avoids any snow/ice/debris build-up under the hooking elements.
- No snow pack under the toe part, even with several up-hill/downhill transitions
- Avoids snow loads on the toe piece, granting a perfect lightness at any moment
A multi-position selector is placed in between the front lever and the toe piece base plate. By changing the selector setting, the up-hill mode locking hardness variates by increasing the pressure on the locking mechanism.
- It compensates the boot toe insert wear and tear during the years
- Provides a proper locking strength for each user (softer for lighter users, harder for strong ones)
- Reduces the pressures on the locking mechanism
The king of the ATK® patented systems! The CAM RELEASE SYSTEM® is fitted inside of our touring bindings heels in order to drive the boot step-in and vertical release in case of fall. A special CAM profile is pressed towards the heel pins by a pre-tensioned spring: when the step-in or a fall release occur, the pins are forced to go through the CAM profile which provides a precise resistance to the pin release, depending on the release value set on the binding.
-Provides the most stable downhill performances on the market with consistent reduction of bootorsion compared to any other tech heel part
- Extremely precise release performance
- Provides the softest heel step in of the industry
- Small dimensions compared to performance and astonishing lightweight
An ingenious as simple magnet system provides the handling and stabilization of the heel flaps.
A spring is placed in between the base plate of the binding and the adjustment screw. When the ski bents under the effect of a compression or a jump, the heel part can slide backward with an elastic travel of 10 or 12 mm, depending on the binding.
- Grants the natural ski flex, also in case of big jumps/compressions
- Improves binding release performance when the binding is stressed
- Reduces the pressure on the ski-boot-binding system
The adjustable settings of the heel release are now available for the toe part. The new toe part by ATK Bindings features adjustable release settings and combined with the heel piece it delivers top class stability.
Thanks to the EVO system, a single hand will be enough to manage the ski brake. By rotating the head of the bindings by 180 degrees, the ski brake activates and the binding switches from uphill to downhill mode. At this point, simply step-in to lock the brake. Similarly, simply rotate again and press the boot heel on the rear plate to lock the ski brake in position and start the ascent.
