We are mechanical nerds and this is what we are best at

Passion, obsession.

Thanks to our 60+ patented systems, we are the most innovative pin binding company in the world.
That's the result of our obsession with mechanical problem-solving, our way of meeting every skier's needs.
Originated from the passion for mechanics that is so well-rooted in our region - not by chance called Motor Valley - this attitude fires up our entire organization. We never stop engineering new solutions, so the future key to your best performance is already in the making here at ATK.
OUR PATENTED SYSTEMS

CAM RELEASE SYSTEM®

The CAM Release System drives the step-in and the vertical release in case of fall. A special CAM profile is pressed towards the heel pins by a pre-tensioned spring: when the step-in or a release occur, the pins are forced to follow the CAM profile and provide a precise release.

EVO BRAKE SYSTEM®

Thanks to the EVO system, a single hand will be
enough to manage the ski brake. By rotating the head of the bindings by 180
degrees, the ski brake activates and the binding switches from uphill to
downhill mode. At this point, simply step-in to lock the brake. Similarly,
simply rotate again and press the boot heel on the rear plate to lock the ski
brake in position and start the ascent.

ELASTIC RESPONSE SYSTEM®

When under stress skis flex and compress. Under these circumstances, thanks to ELASTIC RESPONSE SYSTEM®, the heel piece can slide towards the tail and repositions itself once normal conditions are restored.

AP BRAKE SYSTEM®

The new ATK patented system: simply press the pedal and rotate the heel piece to lock the ski brake. Activated by a simple move, this mechanism guarantees a safe use while improving the level of automatism of the bindings.

Oh yes, that's the spot!

Every ATK's patented systems finds its right spot on our bindings. It wasn't easy, but we have now become experts in finding the most practical positions while always chasing performance through lightness.

CAM RELEASE SYSTEM®

The CAM Release System drives the step-in and the vertical release in case of fall. A special CAM profile is pressed towards the heel pins by a pre-tensioned spring: when the step-in or a release occur, the pins are forced to follow the CAM profile and provide a precise release.

MAGNETO HEEL FLAPS SYSTEM®

As ingenious as simple, this magnet system provides the handling and stabilization of the heel flaps. There are different versions of the heel flaps, each one paired with the right binding model.

EASY ENTRY SYSTEM®

This system is characterised by a new design of the toe piece. Its innovative geometries allows a smooth step-in, safe and easy to perform on all the latest boots models. Effective even if the soles are worn.

RELEASE ADJUSTMENT TOE PIECE®

The adjustable settings of the heel release are now available for the toe piece! The new toes by ATK Bindings feature the adjustable release values that, combined with the heel piece adjustment, delivers top class stability and a more precise release.

SNOW PACK PROOF SYSTEM®

No snow pack under the toe part, even with several up-hill/downhill transitions. It also avoids snow loads on the toe piece granting a perfect lightness at any moment.

UPHILL HARDNESS VARIATOR®

A multi-position selector between the front lever and the toe lug. By changing the setting of the selector, the stiffness of the toe-lug lock in up-hill mode can be adjusted by increasing pressure on the locking system.

ELASTIC RESPONSE SYSTEM®

When under stress skis flex and compress. Under these circumstances, thanks to ELASTIC RESPONSE SYSTEM®, the heel piece can slide towards the tail and repositions itself once normal conditions are restored.

EVO BRAKE SYSTEM®

Thanks to the EVO system, a single hand will be
