It is the essence of an ATK binding: light, but incredibly performing.
All its components, except for the POM central insert and the titanium heel pins, are machined from full 7075 aluminum blocks.
Speed Kit included. It consists of the adjustment plate R01 (up to 30mm adjustment) and the Kevlar Core Leash.
Toe piece:
Inspired by our race toe pieces its designed in a maniacal way to reduce the weight to the minimum. On the front lever you can see the result of our micrometric material machining that allowed us to reduce the weight even further.
Integrated but removable rampant support.
Monolink technology. We developed a smart layout that needs just one pair of spring to lock the boot in.
Easy Entry System. While the Monolink design lowered the weight of the toe piece (that’s now lighter than the bindings of a similar category) it didn’t affect the carefully studied geometries that facilitate an immediate and precise step-in.
Heel piece:
Cam Release System. The Haute Route is the lightest ATK’s binding to feature our signature patented system that contributes to an effortless step-in and grants amazing torsional stiffness.
Both the lateral and the vertical release value are adjustable.
Performing 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.
As 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 way.
In 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.
Durability:
Crafted from high-quality materials and engineered to withstand the rigors of backcountry skiing, the Haute Route offers exceptional durability and reliability. The carefully machined components and thoughtful construction ensure longevity to this tech binding, providing peace of mind during your most demanding adventures.
