Forged for the skin track

Two pin bindings developed with ATK to get the most out of every UBAC.

FORGE [Tour]: go far, go light

Under 300 grams underfoot, with all the confidence you need for the way down.

The FORGE [Tour] is the binding for efficient touring. It weighs a claimed 295 g, and its heel piece absorbs shocks elastically to keep the ski stable. Its heel risers let you adjust the angle as the terrain steepens, so you keep your efficiency on the way up. Its release values run from 4 to 10 and its brakes come in 91, 97 and 102 mm, which covers the UBAC 89, 95 and 102. It is developed and made in Italy by ATK.

FORGE [Pro]: no compromise on the way down

For demanding freetouring: eight patented mechanisms, 325 g underfoot, and the hold you need when the terrain steepens.

The FORGE [Pro] goes further than the FORGE [Tour]. It packs eight patented mechanisms, including EVO release technology: release is also adjustable at the toe and works with the heel piece for precise, consistent release from 3 to 11 and a secure hold on committed lines. On the way up, its magnetic heel risers offer three heights (0, +26 and +47 mm) and lock firmly into place. Its brakes come in 91, 97, 102 and 108 mm, which cover the entire UBAC range, UBAC 110 included. It is developed and made in Italy by ATK.

UBAC: shaped to roam

Four widths, one idea: a ski light enough for the whole day that still performs on the way down.

UBAC 89: to go far, the lightest in the range.

UBAC 95: when you would rather not choose, the all-rounder.

UBAC 102: when the descent comes first, steady in the steep.

UBAC 110: for powder days, freeride float in a touring ski.

Free binding mounting with every bundle.
