Tech Specs
Atomic Shift² 13 MNC Touring Binding
The Atomic Shift² 13 MNC Touring Binding is a hybrid binding for skiers who want one setup for resort days and backcountry tours. In ski mode it works like an alpine binding with long toe wings, elastic travel and TÜV-certified release from 6 to 13, and in tour mode it switches to a pin toe with full heel rotation. At 920 g per binding with brakes in 90, 100, 110 or 120 mm and a multi-norm toe, the Shift² 13 MNC suits freeride touring and resort-heavy quivers.

Why We Like It
- In ski mode the toe behaves like an alpine binding, with long wings and elastic travel that hold the boot through impacts.
- TÜV-certified release from 6 to 13 with Multi Norm certification applies across alpine, GripWalk and touring soles.
- The Power Block AFD, a height-adjustable plate under the boot toe with an aluminum insert, adds lateral stiffness over the first Shift.
- A pin toe and full heel rotation in tour mode let the same skis climb, and the climbing aids flip with a pole.
Best Uses
- Freeride touring
- Resort freeride with backcountry access
- One-ski quivers
- Skis 75 to 120 mm underfoot
Mounting and Setup Advice
Choose the brake equal to or up to 15 mm wider than the ski waist: 90, 100, 110 or 120 mm. A shop should set release, adjust the AFD height to your boot sole and test it after mounting.
Touring requires certified tech inserts at the toe, and the boot needs full toe and heel lugs. Bring your boots in before you mount.
