Raider 11 EVO Binding

The ATK Raider 11 EVO Binding has a maximum DIN setting of 11, which is ideal for lighter skiers or those who prefer a more forgiving release. A higher DIN setting means the binding holds the ski tighter, while a lower setting allows for easier release. Adjusting the DIN according to your weight, skill level, and skiing style is crucial for safety and performance.

Tech compatibility refers to the binding's ability to work with "tech" or "pin" style ski boots, which feature small pins that connect to the binding. This design is favored in backcountry skiing for its lightweight and efficient performance, especially during uphill climbs. If you have tech boots, the ATK Raider 11 EVO Binding is a great choice for your skiing adventures.

Heel elevators are adjustable features that allow you to raise your heel while climbing uphill, making it easier and more comfortable to walk or ascend. The ATK Raider 11 EVO Binding offers multiple heel elevator options (flat, 26mm, and 46.5mm) to suit various climbing conditions, helping you tackle different terrains with ease.

The Elastic Response System is a safety feature in the ATK Raider 11 EVO Binding that provides flexibility in the binding's release mechanism. It absorbs shocks and impacts, reducing the risk of premature release during aggressive skiing. This system enhances both safety and performance, ensuring a controlled release when necessary, which is vital for your safety on the slopes.

The Snow Pack Proof System is designed to prevent snow from accumulating in the binding, which can hinder its functionality. This feature ensures that the ATK Raider 11 EVO Binding operates smoothly in snowy conditions, minimizing the risk of malfunction during deep snow or backcountry skiing. It allows you to focus on your performance without worrying about binding issues.

While the ATK Raider 11 EVO Binding is designed for performance and safety, it is also suitable for intermediate skiers and lighter beginners who are looking to progress in their skiing skills. Its adjustable DIN settings and tech compatibility make it a versatile choice for those venturing into backcountry skiing, providing a balance of safety and performance as you improve.
