ATK ski touring bindings

The Italian ski touring binding manufacturer ATK is carrying over its entire 2024/2025 range unchanged for the 2025/2026 season. Last year, the brand had already undertaken a major simplification effort, reducing its large collection from 40 to 27 models.

The Race range remains stable with the must-haves: Revolution, SL, and Trofeo.

In the Speed Touring segment, the Timepacer 12 continues with its innovative ski brake system operated via a cable from the climbing heel riser, lateral DIN adjustment from 6 to 12, a 30 mm adjustment rail, but without gap compensation, for an ultralight weight of 430 g per pair. In the same range, the Kuluar 12 Superlight still replaces the older Kuluar, in a lighter version without ski brakes or gap compensation, but retains a minimalist “Haute Route” philosophy. The Haute Route 10 Plus and the Trofeo Plus also complete this category.

The Touring range also remains unchanged, with the Crest 10, now equipped only with the AP ski brake (automatic, but requiring pressure on the brake to lock it), and the RT 11 EVO with a fully automatic ski brake.

In Freetouring, the offering is still extensive despite the disappearance of the C-Raider last year. The Raider models come in AP, EVO (different ski brakes), and now SL versions, which are lighter. The same goes for the Freeraider: Freeraider 14 AP, Freeraider 14 SL, and Freeraider 15 EVO.

On the sidelines of these main families, the V-Crest combines the front of the former C-Raider and the rear of the Crest, creating a hybrid solution weighing 590 g per pair with ski brakes (320 g without).

A newcomer for 2025/2026, the HY FREE joins the range. This model follows ATK’s freeride/touring philosophy with a modern design, aimed at offering an excellent balance between lightness, power, and safety. It expands an already dense lineup by providing an additional option for those seeking downhill performance and uphill reliability.

Finally, the innovations introduced last year, such as the new anti-snow toe piece found on many models (Crest, RT, Raider, Freeraider…), remain in place. Thanks to a higher base that prevents snow from accumulating under the pin springs, this feature improves step-in efficiency in difficult winter conditions.
