ATK Raider 13 EVO Binding in Sandy

The ATK Raider EVO is a Free Touring binding dedicated to downhill performance, weighing only 370 grams and incorporating eight of ATK's unique mechanisms. ATK bindings are special due to the sheer quantity and quality of patented systems they include, all while keeping the weight to an absolute minimum.

ATK took its first steps in this industry by developing lightweight race bindings, and now, as then, lightness is key to achieving what athletes crave: speed. This commitment to "performance through lightness" has been ATK's mantra. As ATK expanded its catalogue to include speed touring, touring, and free touring categories, the brand remained steadfast in its commitment to enabling an ever-wider range of ski mountaineers to achieve performance through lightness.

Crafted from high-quality materials and engineered to withstand the rigors of backcountry skiing, the Raider 13 EVO offers exceptional durability and reliability. Its reinforced components and thoughtful construction ensure longevity, providing peace of mind during your most demanding adventures.

Features:

• Revolutionary toe piece with adjustable release value. For the first time in the history of pin bindings, the toes do not have a fixed release value. This new ATK technology ensures the front and rear of the binding collaborate equally in managing the releases.
• Aluminum Snowpack Proof System: prevents snow and ice debris from accumulating under the mobile parts of the toe piece.
• Uphill Hardness Variator: a system that allows you to adjust the stiffness of the toe-lug lock in up-hill mode.
• Easy Entry System: carefully studied geometries that facilitate the step-in.
• Integrated rampant support.
• EVO Brake System: a single hand is 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.
• The head of the binding can now rotate up to 25 degrees to absorb stress before returning to position. Compared to previous models, where the maximum angle was 16 degrees, this wider rotation ensures better energy absorption thanks to a better recall to center action.
• Cam Release System: ATK's signature patented system that contributes to an effortless step-in and grants amazing torsional stiffness.
• Power Plates included: the new aluminum plates bring just two extra grams while significantly reducing plastic usage and enhancing both the durability and colorful presence of your bindings.
• Elastic Response System: ensures precise releases and optimal skis performances by facilitating their natural flex, enhancing downhill performances.
• Magneto heel flaps: an ingenious mechanism that manages the heel flaps through two different magnets. Comfy and precise even when used with poles.
