Touring Bindings ATK Front 12

Touring Bindings ATK Front 12

For the new season ATK presents a binding that, thanks to its performance, holds its place in the free touring family and at the same time satisfies a wide range of users through optimal lightness and a front brake system. The heel section of the binding offers, like most of the Raider series, an adjustable release value through the innovative Cam Release System, which prevents unwanted release under greater stress on the binding due to more aggressive skiing. The rear of the binding is complemented by Elastic Response technology, which allows natural ski flex and with automatic movement within a range of 12 millimetres prevents accidental release of the binding. For comfortable climbing and precise height adjustment according to slope steepness, the bindings feature the proven patented Magneto® Heel Flaps system in the heel section with 5 different modes.

ATK has two standout features: performance bindings with exceptionally low weight in the competition segment and a refined brake system approach.

Ten years ago, ATK introduced a front brake system that did not need to be locked when walking uphill and was always ready to engage when the boot was not secured. The development challenge was the desire for dual activation; both for front locking and brake engagement. The brake releases in case of a fall or binding release and can be reset via the front lever.

• Easy Entry System®: redesigned binding head system allows smooth boot engagement in the lever with pin pins
• Snow Pack Proof System®: construction of the binding head levers prevents snow accumulation underneath them, making engagement easier and keeping the binding light
• UpHill Hardness Variator® easily adjustable binding head stiffness for uphill mode. The system is located in the front of the binding, above the pin levers and below the walk-ski mode switch lever.
• Cam Release System®: reigns among ATK's patented systems. It describes the construction and performance of the heel section of the binding, which enables grip and boot release in case of a fall. A preloaded spring pushes a special mechanism against the heel pins, ensuring precise release according to an individually set value. The system's advantages are evident in uncompromising performance and stability of the touring boot under maximum stresses (compared to other systems) and the softest boot engagement. The system operates with exceptional precision and achieves surprisingly low weight relative to its functionality. Release value is adjustable (5-12).
• Elastic Response System®: a system that enables natural ski flex without unwanted release. The system consists of a spring mounted in the rear of the binding. After loading, the binding heel simply moves back to its original position.
• Magneto® Heel Flaps: improved system of magnetic heel flaps offering quick angle adjustment and 5 walking modes via lever
• 25 mm adjustment plate integrated in the heel section allows quick and fine adjustments (up to 2 sizes)
• Ski-Brake Elastic Slide: integrated safety system in the rear of the binding ensures constant lateral release without unwanted opening
• UpHill Hardness Variator® easily adjustable binding head stiffness for uphill mode. The system is located in the front of the binding, above the pin levers and below the walk-ski mode switch lever.
