Toe Piece:

The Raider 13 EVO introduces a groundbreaking adjustable release value in its toe piece, marking a first in the history of pin bindings. Unlike fixed release settings, this innovation ensures balanced retention and performance. Traditionally, toe pieces with default values offer medium retention, working best when paired with heel units also set to medium release. Deviations from these settings often shifted the load: lower values made the toe bear more hold, while higher values put the burden on the heel. With ATK's new technology, the toe and heel collaborate seamlessly, ensuring consistent and precise release performance.

• Aluminum Snowpack Proof System: Prevents snow and ice from building up under the toe piece’s moving parts.
• Uphill Hardness Variator: Allows for easy adjustment of the toe-lug lock's stiffness in uphill mode.
• Easy Entry System: Thoughtfully designed geometries make stepping in effortless.
• Integrated Rampant Support: Provides additional stability and support.

Heel Piece:

• EVO Brake System: Operates with one hand. Rotate the binding head 180 degrees to activate the brake and switch from uphill to downhill mode. For ascent, rotate again and press the boot heel to lock the brake in place.
• 25-Degree Rotation: Absorbs stress before centering the binding, offering improved energy absorption over previous models, which had a maximum angle of 16 degrees.
• Cam Release System: Patented technology enabling smooth step-ins and exceptional torsional stiffness.
• Power Plates: Lightweight aluminum plates add durability and reduce plastic use, enhancing the binding’s lifespan and aesthetics.
• Elastic Response System: Optimizes ski flex and downhill performance with precise release and energy transfer.
• Magneto Heel Flaps: Magnetic system for easy and precise heel flap adjustment, even with poles.

Performance Through Lightness:

ATK’s ethos, “performance through lightness,” has driven its evolution since the creation of its lightweight race bindings. This philosophy caters to athletes seeking speed without compromise. As ATK expanded into speed touring, touring, and free touring, it retained its focus on delivering high-performance gear that stays true to its roots, ensuring ski mountaineers of all levels can experience the benefits of lightness.

Durability:

Constructed with premium materials and engineered for backcountry challenges, the Raider 13 EVO is built for longevity. Its reinforced components and meticulous design provide unmatched reliability, so you can confidently tackle the toughest adventures.
