Touring bindings ATK HY 13

ATK HY 13 Free – the perfect blend of lightness and power

The ATK HY 13 Free is a premium hybrid touring/freeride ski binding that delivers exceptional downhill performance and outstanding uphill efficiency. It is an excellent choice for demanding ski tourers and freeriders who want one binding for everything – from long ascents to aggressive descents in varied terrain.

Why choose the ATK HY 13 Free?

• Outstanding downhill performance – the feel is very similar to classic alpine bindings. The boot sits securely, power transfer to the skis is direct, and the result is more control and reliability at high speeds and in challenging conditions.
• Lightweight yet robust construction – made from high-quality materials (CNC-machined aluminum, stainless steel, technical plastics), the binding remains light for ascents while withstanding significant forces during aggressive skiing.
• Hybrid design – the front uses a pin system for efficient climbing, while the rear hybrid/mechanical system provides greater stability and safety on the descent. In ski mode, the boot sits low and stable, increasing precision in turns.
• Fast and simple mode switching – transitioning between walk and ski mode is intuitive and quick, without unnecessary part removal or complicated adjustments.
• Comfortable uphill travel – multiple heel riser positions allow you to adapt to the slope angle, making the stride natural and energy-efficient even on longer tours.
• Wide compatibility – designed for use with most modern touring and freeride boots with inserts (pin tech), and available in various brake widths suitable for today’s wider skis.
