A release value of 8 would be perfect for any of the aforementioned bindings.Support Ghamak On Patreon for STL files each month! Just as durable and well made as anything else made by ATK. I view the C-Raider as one of the lightest possible freeride bindings. It's similarly burly to the ordinary Raider but has a unique toe piece with carbon composite to drop the weight a few dozen grams. The C-Raider is another amazing binding in the ATK lineup. I suppose the Evo system would slow down the minimum time needed for a transition to skinning, but gives you flat plus two risers all on the same heel position. This eliminates the need to press a brake button but introduces a mandatory heel rotation step. Hagan's Raider Evo rebrand can be found here: īoth this and the Core 12 Evo use a system where the heel piece rotates 180 degrees from ski to tour mode, which automatically retracts the brakes. Hi DGG, this is the leaner version with a streamlined toe piece akin to the ATK Crest or Hagan Pure.

Fully adjustable lateral and vertical release values.Integrated crampon mounts are integrated, but you could remove to save weight.Elastic Response System helps keep release values working through tumultuous terrain.Auto-Lock Skibrake System automatically engages or disengages the brake when put into ascend or descend modes.As Hagan themselves attest, the Pin-Up binding is a binding that leaves no one dissatisfied. With release options ranging from 3-8 or 5-10, these bindings are meant to adorn the skis of almost anyone. This innovative system allows the ski brake to be automatically engaged simply by switching from ascent to descent mode, which will surely reduce the time spent transitioning. Speaking of the heel, the Pin-Up Evo bindings now utilize an Auto Locking Skibrake System.

Complementing this hard-working construction is the Elastic Response System, which gives the heel room to move fore and aft, keeping your release values consistent through variable terrain. To start, these bindings are sturdily built out of metal and POM, providing an exceptionally stout construction at a very reasonable weight.
