ATK Bindings Fixations de ski randonnée CREST 10 AP-91 mm

The Crest is perfectly positioned in the mid-weight range between heavier, certified free touring bindings and extremely lightweight racing models. For a binding to succeed in this category, not only is low weight crucial, but also the provision of a lot of functionality per gram.

And this is where the Crest excels. Weighing in at 280 grams, it includes the Cam-Release System, likely the centerpiece of many ATK bindings. The very short rear binding head offers significant stability despite its compact design, along with adjustable frontal and lateral release. Additionally, entry is easy even with a high Z-value, requiring minimal pressure.

The Crest also provides length compensation, which is important for precise release and protects the binding when the ski flexes.

Furthermore, the Crest features a robust ski brake, 20 millimeters of adjustment range, a climbing aid, and a very simple entry into the pins.

Aside from the Fritschi Xenic (without a brake), no other binding on the market (except for other ATK bindings) offers as much functionality at a weight of 280 grams.

Currently, there is no easier way to save weight than with the binding, without significantly compromising ride performance. The Crest 10 is the prime example of this. For instance, compared to the ST Rotation, it saves 300 grams per foot, which is substantial. Removing that much weight from the ski would completely change the riding experience.
