Toe Piece:

The Freeraider 15 EVO features a groundbreaking adjustable release value in its toe piece, a first in the history of pin bindings. Unlike traditional toe pieces with fixed release settings, this innovation ensures optimal retention regardless of heel unit adjustments. Why does this matter? Fixed toe release values typically provide medium retention, working best with heels also set to medium. Straying from this balance shifts the load: lower settings make the toe handle most of the hold, while higher settings burden the heel. ATK’s adjustable technology revolutionizes this dynamic, enabling seamless collaboration between the front and rear bindings for precise and balanced release management.

• Aluminum Snowpack Proof System: Prevents snow and ice buildup under the toe piece’s moving parts for reliable performance.
• Uphill Hardness Variator: Allows adjustment of toe-lug lock stiffness for customized uphill performance.
• Easy Entry System: Thoughtfully designed geometries ensure effortless step-in, even in challenging conditions.
• Included Toe Shims: Optional shims reduce the heel-to-toe drop by 4mm, creating a more neutral stance for those who prefer it.
• Integrated Rampant Support: Adds stability for optimal performance on steep terrain.

Heel Piece:

• EVO Brake System: Manage the ski brake with a single hand. Rotate the binding head 180 degrees to activate the brake and switch to downhill mode. To ascend, rotate back and press the boot heel to lock the brake.
• 25-Degree Rotation: Absorbs stress and ensures a smooth return to center, improving energy absorption compared to previous models with a 16-degree limit.
• Cam Release System: Patented technology for smooth step-in and outstanding torsional stiffness.
• Power Plates: Durable aluminum plates reduce plastic use, adding just 2 grams while enhancing lifespan and aesthetics.
• Elastic Response System: Facilitates natural ski flex, delivering precise releases and superior downhill performance.
• Magneto Heel Flaps: Magnet-based design ensures precise and easy heel flap adjustments, even when using poles.
• Freeride Spacer: Enhances power transmission for aggressive skiing.
• 25mm Length Adjustment: Accommodates a variety of boot sizes for a perfect fit.

Performance Through Lightness:

“Performance through lightness” has been ATK’s guiding principle since its inception, when it first introduced lightweight race bindings. This commitment remains central as ATK expands into speed touring, touring, and free touring categories. By maintaining its focus on weight reduction without sacrificing performance, ATK empowers skiers of all levels to enjoy speed, precision, and efficiency in every adventure.

Durability:

Built with premium materials and designed to endure the harsh demands of backcountry skiing, the Freeraider 15 EVO delivers exceptional durability and reliability. Its reinforced components and meticulous engineering ensure lasting performance, giving you the confidence to take on even the most challenging expeditions.
