Welcome to the world of free touring ski mountaineering bindings with the Raider AP. Crafted for skiers who demand exceptional performance, the Raider has earned its place as a historic and iconic binding since its introduction in 2013. With continuous improvements and cutting-edge features, the Raider, now in its AP version, offers an unmatched combination of engineering excellence, elegance, and accessibility. Let's delve into its key features and discover why it stands out as a top choice for skiers seeking unrivaled downhill performance in the free touring range.

Heel Piece:

AP Brake System. Rotate the head of the binding while holding down the pedal to switch from uphill to downhill mode. No lateral button required thanks to this new ATK brake management system.

Cam Release System. ATK’s signature patented system that contributes to an effortless step-in and grants amazing torsional stiffness.

Elastic Response System. This ensures precise releases and optimal skis performances by facilitating their natural flex, enhancing downhill performances.

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.

Toe Piece:

Snowpack Proof System. This prevents snow and ice debris from accumulating under the mobile parts of the toe piece.

Uphill Hardness Variator. A system that you can use to adjust the stiffness of the toe-lug lock in up-hill mode.

Easy Entry System. When you’re on a hurry and don’t want to miss any precious second it’s better to have a toe piece designed to facilitate an immediate step-in.

Integrated rampant support.

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 Raider AP 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.
