Freeride Binding ATK FR16 - Black

Freeride Binding ATK FR16 - Black

With the same characteristics as the Raider family, the Freeraider 16 is distinguished by the patented Snow Pack Proof system, which prevents snow buildup under the front springs of the binding, which in the FR16 boast an adjustable and even higher level of release value ranging from 8 to 14. Already powerful ATK bindings, which will handle breathtaking jumps and skiing at all limits, are equipped with an included Freeride Spacer, whose purpose is to deliver the performance of competitive alpine ski bindings. This blurs the line between bindings used exclusively for ski touring and bindings intended for the most aggressive freeriders. The insert, called the Freeride Spacer, brings a new level of torsional stiffness and direct energy transfer from the skier to the ski edge. The heel part of the binding has an integrated system, Elastic Response System®, which despite large lateral loads will optimize pressure with glide and flex, releasing the binding only when truly necessary.

Technologies:

• Easy Entry System®: redesigned binding head system allows effortless engagement with the pin levers
• Snow Pack Proof System®: construction of the binding head levers prevents snow buildup under them, easing binding engagement and keeping the binding light
• UpHill Hardness Variator® easily adjustable hardness of the binding head lock for climb 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 part of the binding, which allows grip and boot release in case of a fall. A preloaded spring pushes a special system against the heel pins, ensuring precise release depending on the individually set value. The system's advantages show in uncompromising performance and stability of the touring boot under the greatest loads (compared to other systems) and the softest boot engagement. The system's operation is extremely precise and achieves surprisingly low weight for its functionality. Release value is adjustable (5-12).
• Elastic Response System®: a system that allows natural ski flex without unwanted release. This system consists of a spring mounted in the back of the binding. After load, the heel of the binding simply moves back to its original position.
• Magneto® Heel Flaps: Improved magnetic heel flap system offering quick angle adjustment and 5 walking modes using the pole
• 25 mm adjustable sole is integrated into the heel part and allows quick and fine adjustments (up to 2 sizes)
• Ski-Brake Elastic Slide: integrated safety system in the back of the binding ensures consistent lateral release without unwanted engagement
• Freeride Spacer: the R12 binding can be optionally equipped with a spacer that optimizes the gap between the boot and the upper ski layer. The spacer is equipped with an elastic slider that prevents uncontrolled binding release even in the most demanding turns and conditions. The spacer improves direct energy transfer from the skier to the ski.
• UpHill Hardness Variator® easily adjustable hardness of the binding head lock for climb mode. The system is located in the front of the binding, above the pin levers and below the walk-ski mode switch lever.
