ATK Raider 12 Dark Blue

The vast know-how ATK® has gathered on the race circuit has made it possible to cut the binding's weight to just 330 grams, including the new rear ski brake, which delivers excellent braking power with remarkable lightness and ease of use. The new fully adjustable Freeride Spacer is available as an accessory, definitively closing the gap between the Free Touring and Free Ride categories and taking the precision of power transmission to race level. To match any ski topsheet perfectly, the binding comes in three colours: White, Orange and Blue.

Technology
A revolutionary spring-free toe piece. It makes an impression from the very first step-in – and a big one. The EES (easy entry system) is so simple, precise and reliable that the toe piece seems to click in magnetically; it literally bites into the boot.

The new E.R.S (ELASTIC RESPONSE SYSTEM) elastic sliding system (8 + 4 / 12 mm of travel in total) applied to the heel piece allows the ski to flex naturally (even during big jumps and compressions), improves release performance when the binding is under load and reduces stress on the boot's insert system.

The new SNOW PACK PROOF SYSTEM® is a special toe-piece design that prevents snow build-up = no lumps of snow under the toe, even after several ascents and descents.
U.H.V.® System (Up-hill Hardness Variator) – a system that lets you adjust the stiffness of the lever when locking the binding for the way up. It compensates for the wear of boot inserts over the years, provides the right locking force for every user and reduces stress on the locking mechanism. CAM RELEASE SYSTEM – this technology stabilises the heel pins and thus significantly increases the torsional stiffness of ATK bindings.

MAGNETO HEEL FLAPS® is a patented solution offering up to five climbing modes (0+38+41+48+58 mm) while walking, all easily operated with your poles. Three basic positions are set by rotating the heel + two more positions without having to rotate it at all.
The brake, newly positioned at the heel of the binding, is incredibly light and easy to operate. Switching between the Uphill and Downhill positions is done via a button on the heel piece.
