Intro
This is the latest of the three bindings in Atomic’s touring/freetouring lineup which they released last season. Operation is similar to their historic Tour model but with a more traditional turret with screw adjustment in place of the previous one with three interchangeable springs to vary the release values. It comes in two different release value versions: 6-12, and 4-9 for minimum weights or kids from 2 to 5 years old. The BR indicates it has the standard brake, but it also comes in a brakeless version (the LSH), though only with the 4-9 and 6-12 release values.
Fit
Straightforward, practical, and solid. An easy-to-use binding, ideal for newcomers perhaps (and others too). We like the double-spring in the toe jaws, which imparts a feeling of durability, and the metal toe rest to help center the boot on the pins, which beginners (and everyone else) will appreciate. A simple but really effective solution. The large technopolymer lever is easy to operate with gloved hands, though a tad stiff. Another practical feature is the heel riser flap above the pins as an alternative to using the zero-lift setting, which requires the heel piece to be turned. The adjustable heel turret is pretty similar to the Tour’s, except release values are easier to adjust. Summit means reliability…
