ATK Freeraider 15 Evo Touring Binding
The ATK Freeraider 15 Evo Touring Binding is ATK's highest-release pin binding, built for heavy and aggressive skiers who tour to ski big freeride lines. Release adjusts from 7 to 15 at the heel and the toe, and an included freeride spacer fills the gap under the boot heel while a toe shim levels the stance. At 395 g per binding with an automatic brake in 97 to 120 mm, 25 mm of length adjustment and 14 mm of elastic travel, the Freeraider 15 Evo suits freeride touring, big-mountain skiing and skiers from 60 to 120 kg.

Why We Like It
- Release from 7 to 15 at both heel and toe gives heavy skiers a pin binding that holds at settings most pin bindings cannot reach.
- The included freeride spacer supports the boot heel on the ski, which stiffens the connection and steadies the heel through hard turns.
- A toe shim comes in the box to bring the toe up and reduce the ramp angle for a more neutral stance.
- 14 mm of elastic travel and an automatic brake keep the binding predictable through landings and fast to switch at the top.
Best Uses
- Freeride touring
- Big-mountain lines
- Heavier and aggressive skiers
- Wide skis from 97 to 120 mm underfoot
- Resort-to-backcountry days
Mounting and Setup Advice
Choose the brake equal to or up to 15 mm wider than the ski waist: 97, 102, 108 or 120 mm. Mount the freeride spacer with the binding, and decide on the toe shim at mounting, since it changes the stance. A shop should set toe and heel release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type and test it after mounting.
ATK lists the Freeraider 15 Evo for skiers from 60 to 120 kg. Lighter or less aggressive skiers are better served by the Raider 13 Evo or Raider 11 Evo. The binding needs boots with certified tech inserts.
