No telemark binding carries a release certification comparable to an alpine or touring binding, and we do not present one as having a release you can rely on. Toe retention is adjustable between two settings, which changes how firmly the boot is held, not whether or when it lets go.

You can slide the spring-and-claw cartridge off entirely, which leaves the boot pivoting on the tech toe and takes the telemark hardware off the ski, or you can leave the cartridge on and raise the climbing riser. If you leave the cartridge on you must use the riser, because the cartridge holds the heel down otherwise.

It ships with spring spacers so activity can be adjusted rather than fixed by the standard spring, and ATK has indicated softer and stiffer spring options.

A tech heel unit locks a compatible boot down for parallel skiing, the tech toe still pivots freely on the climb, and the cartridge still comes off for the ascent, all for 100 g over the standard Newmark Lite at 440 g per binding. The requirements are the thing to check: tech toe fittings and a rear tech fitting, which not every NTN boot has. And a locked heel here still offers no lateral release, so it is a technique option rather than a safety feature. For NTN skiers who want both ways down, it is a clever solution.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ATK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48677041897629,"sku":"NKLTFK","price":1121.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/Freelock_03.png?v=1786069002","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/en-ca\/products\/atk-newmark-lite-freelock-telemark-binding","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
