All ATK bindings revolve around the pursuit of lightness, even those dedicated to downhill performance.
The Freeraider SL is a testament to this, and while it is a true Free Touring binding, it weighs less than 360 grams, including the Freeride Spacer. It is designed for skiers who, coming from classic ski mountaineering, seek new skiing sensations and are ready to accept a few extra grams, without overdoing it.

Toe piece:

• Speed Toe Piece: redesigned to improve downhill performance with its hybrid mounting pattern-narrow at the front holes and wide at the rear. Its ergonomic lever, designed with a specific joint, makes opening, step-out, and closing operations easier. The Speed Toe Piece also includes our Snowpack Proof System, carefully designed to prevent snow and ice from accumulating under the locking mechanism, ensuring it remains safe and easy to operate even on the coldest days with frequent transitions.
• Integrated but removable rampant support.
  

Heel piece:

• Elastic Response System: ensures precise releases and optimal skis performances by facilitating their natural flex, enhancing downhill performances.
• 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 a higher touring comfort. They can be easily managed with poles thanks to an ingenious combination of two magnets.
• Up to 25mm of length adjustment.
• Both lateral and 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 Freeraider 14 SL 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.
