What sets it apart from all other ATK bindings are its highest release values in our range and the freedom to fully express your power, thanks to the included Freeride Spacer. Just like its sibling, the Raider 13 EVO, it’s the toe piece’s adjustable release value that sets it apart from all the other pin bindings on the market, but let’s see what other unique features it has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToe piece: A revolutionary toe piece with adjustable release value. For the first time in the history of pin bindings, the toes don’t have a fixed release value. Why is this impor tant? Because the toe pieces with a default value guarantee a medium retention which therefore works best when the heel unit is also set to medium release values. What happens when you move away from these median values? At low settings the toe will provide most of the hold, while at high settings the heel does most of the work. But now, thanks to this new ATK technology, the front and rear of the binding collaborate equally in managing the releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum Snowpack Proof System: this prevents snow and ice debris from accumulating under the mobile parts of the toe piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUphill Hardness Variator: a system that you can use to adjust the stiffness of the toe-lug lock in up-hill mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Entry System: carefully studied geometries that facilitate the step-in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Toe Shims: When installed under the toe pieces, these accessories reduce the heel-to-toe drop by 4mm, providing an optional, more neutral stance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated rampant support.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeel piece: EVO Brake System: one single hand will be enough to manage the ski brake. By rotating the head of the bindings by 180 degrees, the ski brake activates and the binding switches from uphill to downhill mode. At this point, simply step-in to start having fun. Similarly, simply rotate again and press the boot heel on the rear plate to lock the ski brake in position and start the ascent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe head of the binding can now rotate up to 25 degrees to absorb stress before returning to position. Compared to previous models, where the maximum angle was 16 degrees, this wider rotation ensures better energy absorption thanks to a better recall to center action.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCam Release System: our signature patented system that contributes to an effortless step-in and grants amazing torsional stiffness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Plates included: the new aluminum plates bring just two extra grams while significantly reduce plastic usage and enhance both the durability and colorful presence of your bindings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElastic Response System: this ensures precise releases and optimal skis performances by facilitating their natural flex, enhancing downhill performances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagneto heel flaps: the ingenious mechanism that manages the heel flaps through two different magnets. Comfy and precise even when used with poles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Freeride Spacer for better power transmission.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 25mm of length adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerforming Through Lightness: Our foundation, our roots. ATK took its first steps in this industry by developing lightweight race bindings, and now, as then, lightness is key to achieving what athletes crave: speed. Therefore, it's easy to understand why “performance through lightness” has been the mantra that has accompanied ATK's growth in its early years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs our role in the ski mountaineering universe started to evolve, we needed some stabilization because it's easy to lose control during a phase of growth, just as it is easy to get caught up in the events. That's why we decided to keep our roots stable, not changing our approach to the activity, and ultimately not getting in our own\u003cbr\u003eway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, as we expanded our catalogue to include the speed touring, touring, and free touring categories, we remained steadfast in our commitment to enabling an ever-wider range of ski mountaineers to achieve performance through lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability: Crafted from high-quality materials and engineered to withstand the rigors of backcountry skiing, the Freeraider 15 EVO offers exceptional durability and reliability. Its reinforced components and thoughtful construction ensure longevity, providing peace of mind during your most demanding adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-chart__table-row\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"feature-chart__heading bold\"\u003eWeight: 395 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"feature-chart__heading bold\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAlu 7075, POM, Stainless steel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"feature-chart__heading bold\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eRelease range: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e7-15\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"feature-chart__heading bold\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWalking modes: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFlat | +35.5mm | +49mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"feature-chart__heading bold\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBoot size adjustment: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e25mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"feature-chart__heading bold\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHeel elastic travel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e 14mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATK","offers":[{"title":"97mm \/ Black Sand","offer_id":67943536230706,"sku":"P3705S-1","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"102mm \/ Black Sand","offer_id":67943536263474,"sku":"P3705S-2","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"108mm \/ Black Sand","offer_id":67943536296242,"sku":"P3705S-3","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0022\/3572\/7972\/files\/atk-freeraider-15-evo-alpine-touring-ski-bindings-black-sand-2027.jpg?v=1791639915","url":"https:\/\/glacierskishop.com\/products\/atk-freeraider-15-evo-alpine-touring-ski-bindings-black-sand-2027","provider":"Glacier Ski Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
