Why We Like It

  • Lateral and vertical release both adjust from 4 to 10, rare at 220 g per binding.
  • The Cam Release heel pins follow a shaped profile as they open, which gives a smooth step-in and a precise release at your setting.
  • Two magnetic heel flaps give flat plus four climbing heights, from 35 to 59 mm, and each flips with a pole tip.
  • The R01 adjustment plate gives 30 mm of length range, enough for several boots on one pair of skis.

Best Uses

  • Speed touring
  • Ski mountaineering
  • Long tours where weight comes first
  • Skiers from 40 to 85 kg
  • Skis 80 to 97 mm underfoot

Mounting and Setup Advice

The Haute Route 10 Plus has no brake, so the Kevlar leash it comes with should go on every tour. A shop should set lateral and vertical release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, then test them after mounting. ATK lists the binding for skiers from 40 to 85 kg on skis 80 to 97 mm underfoot.

The R01 plate gives 30 mm of length adjustment for more than one pair of boots. The binding needs boots with certified tech inserts at the toe and heel.
