Tech Specs
The ATK Raider series is renowned for its next-level design and performance. Despite weighing only 335 grams, including the easy-to-maneuver rear brake, the Raider 12 AP is incredibly durable thanks to its aluminum construction. A fully adjustable Freeride spacer is available as an accessory for maximum power transmission, adding to the freeride performance these bindings can offer.
Looking under the hood, let's dive into some key systems and technologies that make these epic bindings. The Easy Entry System allows for a seamless step-in and minimizes awkward toe-piece fumbling. The Snow Pack Proof System is designed to keep the snow from building up in the toe piece, which creates a smooth transition experience. The U.H.V. (Uphill Hardness Variator) enhances skin track retention, whether on a steep incline or sidehilling an icy slope. Compensating for wear and tear of the pins, this reduces pressure on the locking mechanism and is customized for the individual user. The Cam Release System gives one of the strongest downhill performances in the touring world due to its extremely precise release and effortless heel step-in.
To cater to more aggressive skiing, the Elastic Response System provides 12 mm of elasticity to adjust to the natural ski flex during higher impact motions like jumps and compressions. This reduces the pressure on the boot-to-binding system and allows for a smoother downhill experience. Magnetized heel flaps provide FIVE different walking modes, meaning you don't have to stress your muscles as much on varying climbing pitches. The ATK Raider 12 AP matches a range of skier types and styles thanks to its built-in crampon slot that accepts any size of ATK Binding crampons, the 25mm adjustment plate that accommodates a range of boot sizes, and an adjustable release system that ranges from 5 all the way up to 12.
