Toe piece:
- Easy Entry System: The lateral arms and the shape of the base are designed to invite the boot’s tip to the step-in.
- The Ready To Ski toe piece includes an adjustment plate. With it, the toe piece can be moved closer or further to the heel piece by simply using a screwdriver. Both the plates, front and rear, have 25mm of adjustment range, making the Ready To Ski 12 one of most adjustable binding in our range in terms of length.
- Integrated rampant support.
Heel piece:
- Cam Release System: ATK’s signature patented system that contributes to an effortless step-in and grants amazing torsional stiffness.
- Elastic Response System: ensures precise releases and optimal ski performances by facilitating their natural flex, enhancing downhill performance.
- AP Brake System: available in sizes from 86mm to 120mm. To switch from descent to ascent mode, press the pedal all the way with one hand and rotate the heel piece head 180° with the other hand. Conversely, to switch from ascent to descent mode, simply rotate the heel piece once again.
- Magneto Heel Flaps: two carefully designed heel flaps to provide higher touring comfort. They can be easily managed with poles thanks to an ingenious combination of two magnets.
- Both lateral and vertical release values 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 searched for our balance 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 speedtouring, 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 Ready To Ski 12 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.
