Intro
The increase in release value from 10 to 11 and the lowering of the minimum from 5 to 3 makes this an even more complete and universal model, as well as the top of the range model in ATK's touring lineup (it would make an intelligent choice for a lightweight setup). It’s packed with practically everything you could wish for in a perfect weight-to-function ratio: the Evo brake and toe piece (upgraded with the wider rear holes like the Speed toe, but with adjustable release values), the Cam Release System on the heel, and elastic compensation slide to avoid pre-releases when the ski is over-flexed.
Fit
Don't let that one point increase in the release value fool: it's not just the spring they’ve changed here—the entire toe piece is new. The pin jaws are now springless and pivot inside a super-precise housing which is akin to those on the Raider and new Speed toe pieces. The support offered by the structure also includes a sturdy central bar—which houses the release value setting mech—and the integrated ski crampon slot. Yet another gem that will delight lovers of precision engineering. Overall, it’s a fully-featured binding that will satisfy demanding skiers, from the realms of lightweight through to the limits of freeriding (don't underestimate that 11 release value).
