CREST 10
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of touring bindings with the Crest 10.
If we weren't so proudly Italian, we would say the Crest is ATK's Swiss Army knife. Weighing only 295 grams, it offers a range of lateral and vertical release values from 4 to 10, up to 20 millimeters of length adjustment, and our patented Elastic Response System. Whether you're a rookie or an expert skier, the Crest delivers everything you need for a successful and enjoyable touring experience. Let's explore its key features and why it's a top choice for perceptive adventurers.
KEY FEATURES
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: this ensures precise releases and optimal skis
performances by facilitating their natural flex, enhancing downhill
performances. - AP Brake System: available in sizes from 86mm to 102mm. 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 - MagnetoHeel 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 20mm 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 Crest 10 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.

AP BRAKE SYSTEM®
The new ATK patented system: simply press the pedal and rotate the heel piece to lock the ski brake. Activated by a simple move, this mechanism guarantees a safe use while improving the level of automatism of the bindings.
SNOW PACK PROOF SYSTEM®
No snow debris under the toe part, even with several up-hill/downhill transitions. This also avoids snow loads on the toe piece, granting a perfect lightness at any moment.
ELASTIC RESPONSE SYSTEM®
When under stress skis flex and compress. Under these circumstances, thanks to ELASTIC RESPONSE SYSTEM®, the heel piece can slide towards the tail and repositions itself once normal conditions are restored.
EASY ENTRY SYSTEM®
This system is characterised by a new design of the toe piece. Its innovative geometries allows a smooth step-in, safe and easy to perform on all the latest boots models. Effective even if the soles are worn.
MAGNETO HEEL FLAP SYSTEM®
As ingenious as simple, this magnet system provides the handling and stabilization of the heel flaps. There are different versions of the heel flaps, each one paired with the right binding model.
CAM RELEASE SYSTEM®
The CAM Release System drives the step-in and the vertical release in case of fall. A special CAM profile is pressed towards the heel pins by a pre-tensioned spring: when the step-in or a release occur, the pins are forced to follow the CAM profile and provide a precise release.
