Intro

Not specifically designed for kids, but suitable for them as the lowest release value is extremely low. ATK recommends this binding for light skiers (up to around 60 kg/130 lbs.) and designed it to be user friendly and good value, starting with the large technopolymer toe lever. It uses all the ATK technologies, from the Cam Release System that minimizes torsion in the heel pins, to the new AP semi-automatic brake, that locks by pressing it down and rotating the heel piece. There are also two magnetic flaps as climbing aids as well as flat mode, and crampon slot.
