ATK FR 14

The new FR14 from the Italian high-end manufacturer ATK is designed for comfort- and performance-oriented ski tourers as well as descent-oriented freetourers. Weighing only 360 g (FR14) per binding – including stopper! – these exquisite, CNC-milled aluminum bindings are incredibly lightweight while offering reliable performance for demanding descents. The most striking features of the FR14 are the revolutionary new toe piece with its SNOW-PACK-PROOF design and the ski stopper integrated into the heel unit: The new FAST-IN-SYSTEM guides the boot into the correct position when stepping into the binding, and the locking lever acts as a stop in the open state for intuitive, even easier entry into the binding. In combination with the special geometry of the side arms, this allows for an exceptionally comfortable, effortless entry, which poses no difficulties even for those switching from frame bindings.
