ATK Bindings HY 11 Free Binding Black, 108mm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve skied a lot of tech bindings, but the HY 11 Free really stands out. It has the power and precision of an alpine binding with the uphill efficiency you'd expect from ATK. The 'negative' walk mode is a game-changer on flat approaches, and I barely feel the weight on long tours. The downhill performance is dialed—it skis like a resort setup but climbs like a featherweight touring machine.""When we're chasing lines deep in the backcountry or linking up big objectives in a single push, we want gear that won’t slow us down or hold us back. The ATK HY 11 Free Bindings deliver on both ends—offering full-throttle downhill power with a feathery build that's built to tour all day. We count on their precision when dropping into steep couloirs or navigating windboard in no-fall zones. The hybrid design comes from ATK’s meticulous engineering of 22 structural components, milled from solid aluminum to trim weight without sacrificing performance. Boots sit flat for a true alpine feel in ski mode, while a unique negative walk mode boosts stride efficiency when skinning. The adjustable AFD and included spacers ensure seamless boot compatibility across touring, alpine, and GripWalk soles. Two heel risers and an intuitive brake-lock system keep transitions smooth and quick—so we can stay focused on the terrain ahead."
