ATK RAIDER 11 EVO PINK Bindings - 102MM

ATK RAIDER 11 EVO PINK: The ski touring binding designed for efficiency on both ascents and descents

The ATK RAIDER 11 EVO PINK is designed for ski touring and freerando skiers who refuse to sacrifice downhill performance for lighter weight on the ascent. Weighing 370 g per binding, it falls into a category where every gram counts, without compromising power transfer or safety on the slopes. Designed for skis between 80 and 120 mm wide, it’s equally suited for steep descents and challenging ski-touring days. Its patented systems make it a technically advanced binding for skiers weighing between 30 and 95 kg.

Toe piece: precise entry and adjustable release

The front toe piece of the RAIDER 11 EVO PINK incorporates the patented Easy Entry System, which makes it easier to step into the binding even in difficult conditions, particularly when there is sticky snow on the sole. The release adjustment for the toe piece is independent, allowing for fine-tuning of the lateral safety setting based on your skill level and skiing style. This independent adjustment is a practical advantage: it lets you tailor the binding to your skiing style without altering the overall balance of the system. The Cam Release System, also patented, contributes to consistent release by ensuring a clean and repeatable release.

Rear Binding: Optimized Power Transfer and Sole Contact

The heel piece incorporates several patented technologies that work in concert. The Power Plates provide an extended contact surface with the sole, improving power transfer and reducing energy loss during aggressive turns. The Elastic Response System provides 14 mm of elastic heel travel, a range that absorbs vibrations and micro-shocks without causing unintended release. The Magneto Heel Flaps, magnetic-closure heel flaps, ensure reliable sole contact and make it easy to put the boots back on in any situation.

Climbing wedges: three angles for adjustable climbing comfort

The front pivot frees the heel in touring mode, allowing for a natural walking motion. The uphill wedges offer three distinct positions: flat, +24 mm, and +49 mm, allowing you to adjust the angle of your foot to the slope and protect your calves during long ascents. The Uphill Hardness Variator lets you adjust the pivot’s resistance to suit your preferences—a particularly useful feature during traverses or mixed terrain sections where lateral foot stability is crucial.

Safety and release: DIN range 3–11, independent settings

The DIN release range extends from 3 to 11, covering a wide spectrum of profiles, from the versatile ski tourer to the more dedicated freerando enthusiast. Release is both lateral and vertical, with independent adjustments for the toe piece and heel piece for precise customization. The Snowpack Proof System protects the internal mechanisms from snow and ice buildup, a critical factor for reliable release in real winter conditions.

Compatibility and Equipment: Interchangeable brakes and insert compatibility

The RAIDER 11 EVO PINK is compatible with PIN TECH insert boots, the industry standard in ski touring. Its EVO Brake System is a patented automatic braking system, available in several widths—86, 91, 97, 102, 108, and 120 mm—to precisely match the width of your ski. The 102 mm version of this brake is featured here. The boot length adjustment offers a 25 mm range, ensuring broad compatibility with a variety of shoe sizes.

Materials and construction: aluminum, steel, and engineering polymer

The binding’s structure combines 7075 aluminum—a high-strength alloy used in aerospace—with stainless steel for parts subject to friction and corrosion. POM (polyoxymethylene) is used for components requiring light weight and low friction. This combination of materials explains the balance between the binding’s lightweight design and its durability under intensive use.

The ATK RAIDER 11 EVO PINK touring ski binding is designed for skiers who regularly ski in varied terrain—from steep slopes to challenging touring routes—and who want a technical binding that offers both lightness on the ascent and confidence on the descent. Its patented systems, DIN range of 3–11, and three wedge positions make it a well-rounded tool for demanding conditions.
