Heel lift levels
This binding offers 3 heel lift levels:
- height of 0mm when the ground is flat
- 26.5mm height as soon as the ground gets a little steeper (without rotation of the binding) Heel lift that can be easily adjusted with the pole.
- height of 40mm when the slope is very steep (with rotation of the binding, adjustment to be done by hand)
LEASH
Sold with a ski leash to connect the boot to the binding.
Rear heel pad safety
The elasticity of the 10mm heel pad slightly dampens the distortion of the binding in the event of a heavy landing during a fall or a jump on the descent.
ATK's Snow Pack Proof System
This system stops snow and ice from building up under the front part of the binding. You will never have any problems when transitioning between uphill and downhill sections. And all this is made of carbon to save weight, such that the binding weighs only 240g
Using the binding when going UPHILL
Hold the front of the boot at a slight angle, and once the metal holes on the boots are opposite the binding pins (metal cones), apply pressure. The binding is clipped at the front.
When climbing:
- Lift the orange plastic part all the way up to lock your binding.
- Turn the heel pad to avoid clipping in the back of the boot.
- Rotate the heel pad to get the correct heel lift height.
Using the binding when going downhill
When descending:
- Leave the orange plastic part in the down position so that it can be triggered in the event of a fall.
- Turn the heel pad to clip the back of the boot.
- Clip with a sharp snap of the heel.
Binding release standard
Warning, many cross-country ski bindings are not standardised.
The binding releases with a spring.
The standard follows the DIN scale.
In theory, an 80 kg skier will adjust their binding to the number 8 graduation. In reality, they will have to take into account their skiing level, physical fitness and snow conditions.
Crampon compatibility
ATK's Release bindings are compatible with WEDZE, ATK and Dynafit crampons
Tips for storage and maintenance
Storage tips
In the summer, leave the front part of your bindings in the uphill position to avoid putting the springs in tension.
