Revolution World Cup

The top-of-the-line ATK race binding without brake
  • In words

    In words

    Intro
    In the vast selection of race bindings offered by the Emilia-based manufacturer, the Revolution WC is basically their top-of-the-range version without a brake, which can however be added as an optional (SKRACE, 60 mm, 70 mm). But note though that it’s not the same as the one used on the Revolution Brake World Cup. Apart from this, it’s basically the same as the with-brake version, featuring springless toe jaws, the Uphill Hardness Variator system with three hardness adjustments for the toe pins for touring, and the titanium U-spring. ATK recommends a maximum weight of 85 kg (187 lbs.). The range also includes the SL Brake and SL World Cup (which don’t have the Uphill Hardness Variator or Snowpack Proof System) and the Trofeo, their entry-level race offering.

Intro
Safety, a culture of doubt

Beyond the basic definition, there’s nothing as variable as snow conditions and the human psyche when under emotional stress. That's why, after purchasing the right self-rescue kit and airbag backpack, it’s paramount you do your research, train, scrutinize your decisions and, if necessary, opt for plan B. And, at least for now, don’t rely on artificial intelligence.

Intro
Products for mountaineers

Once you’ve chosen your skis, boots and bindings, your thoughts then turn to harnesses, crampons, ice axe and helmet, though perhaps not everyone, and not straight away. While it’s true that when starting out, especially for those transitioning from resort skiing who just want to start surfing some pow, the important thing is to get self-rescue equipment. It’s equally true, however, that the sport we love is a combination of two words: skiing and mountaineering.

Intro
Boards, boots, and bindings for splitboarding

Materials are evolving, which is increasing the opportunities for pushing the boundaries of mountaineering splitboarding. It’s no longer just about easy tours, a few jumps and a beer. Thanks to innovative new setups and growing knowledge within the community, long ascents and steep terrain no longer intimidate.

2025
Intro
Skimo bindings

They’re probably the element of your setup that’s evolved the most and seen the most crossover between disciplines. Which is why in general lighter bindings have adapted to make allowances for the trend for opting for wider skis, with hybrid drilling patterns and a greater selection of ski brakes. But the aspect that requires most scrutiny is the height difference between the front and rear pins.
