^^^ So yeah... just unsubstantiated rumors then.
I'd be extremely surprised if all the binding companies were NOT working on tech bindings, as that's the next obvious place for them to expand in the market. Whether anything makes it past initial R&D is a whole other thing though - once they have a basic design and run costs, they may decide it's not worth it for them. Happens all the time.
And brianski is absolutely right - there will definitely NOT be anything new for 14/15. All retailers already placed their orders for the 14/15 season a couple months ago. If anything was being released next year, the retailers (and brianski is one) would already know about it.

T-P didn't carry the Raider 12 this past season, but they did carry the RT (and various ATK race models), so maybe email to see if they plan to carry the Raider 14 for next season.
Otherwise, among all the other European etailers who carried the Raider 12 this past season, Sport Conrad is definitely reliable.
Might want to get a good translation of these before jumping in:

Also, the lateral release function on the RT strikes me as having very low return to center force (or at least that is how I recall Tyrolia describing it way back in the 1970s), even though unlike fixed-value race models (with some mysterious resistance typically built into the pedestal) it seems to rely on a regular spring.Mo' skimo here: NE Rando Race Series

Yeah, when it comes to long tours or no-fall type stuff, I'll be on Dynafit Speeds on my skinnier skis. The Raider 14 would go on my wider skis. The 14 RV (12 DIN Alpine) is necessary for heel retention when hucking. It'd be nice to have it work reliably, as advertised, but I can deal with a possibility of potential problems (i.e. a 'beta tester' of sorts), since a inadvertent release wouldn't ever happen in a critical environment. As long as the Raider 14 will work with my boots... that remains to be seen, apparently! Not too worried about the brakes since I'd remove them anyway.
Thanks for suggesting some shops.

More shady infos on the Markertech binding on wildsnow: http://www.wildsnow.com/13542/marker-tech-dynafit-king/
The binding supposedly is called Marker King and seems to have a traditional tech toe paired with an alpine-style heel piece...

Haha nice, I would loved to meet that group of testers in the wild. Salomon had a bigger testing trip this season.. Some photos on instagram but nothing to see..
Lets hope its not a normal tech toe but something with a good working safety release..

Atomic is releasing a tech binding. And the new arcteryx shoes are... interesting, but I'm thinking they look like they use too much laminate to be very breathable. Time will tell.

Figured this ought to go in this season's rumor thread - sounds like there'll be limited run mid-season release of Kye's 4FRNT pro-model(s). 3 different skis with 95, 110, and 120 waists. I guess he's getting the Hoji style 3 ski quiver treatment. Interested...

Nice to hear something about the KYE's.
When will we hear or see something from Atomic/Salomon and their tech binding. All we know is that it is coming or that they are working on it?
