675 grams per binding, lighter than any other hybrid out there, and it skis like a proper alpine binding on the way down. Full 6 to 13 release at toe and heel, so you can trust it when you're sending it. On the way up it moves like a pin binding. Machined in aluminium and stainless steel in ATK's own factory in Italy. The hybrid binding we've been waiting for.
108mm fits Park, Carve and All Mountain. 120mm fits Freeride and Powder.
We started talking to ATK in the spring and put the team on the HY 13 FREE before we put it in the shop. It's the first touring binding we sell that our riders will actually ski hard on: a proper release at both ends, and light enough that you stop thinking about the weight on the way up.

SUSTAINABILITY
PRODUCTIONE
very part is made at ATK's own factory in Fiorano Modenese, Italy. Nothing is outsourced.
RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY
Solar panels on the roof power the machines. Skylights and mirrors light the workshop with daylight instead of lamps.
MATERIALS / RECYCLING
The binding is machined from solid aluminium. All the metal shavings and offcuts from making it are collected and melted down into new material, and the water used in production is cleaned and reused.
REPAIR
Built to be serviced, not replaced. Worn parts can be swapped so the binding lasts season after season.
Product Care
If you're keen on maximizing the lifespan of your product:
Clean them regularly to prevent dirt and grime from building up
Lubricate moving parts regularly with grease.
Store your bindings in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
Check for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion and replace worn-out parts promptly.
Avoid over-tightening the screws or straps, as this can cause damage to the binding's internal components or the surrounding material.
Replace the springs after 5-7 years or when they start to show signs of wear, as worn-out springs can compromise the binding's performance and safety.
