@shitskier, no icing for me …
@bfree you have to spin the tower to lock the brakes, on the evo

They could rename that proto and call it Duke Nukem Forever

This ?

I’m using the R12 (+ freeride spacer) on a 181 BMX 105, 2150g, no issues.

The brakes runs small, like a 102mm break will be borderline too small on a 102mm ski. You can bend them though. That’s for the regular brakes (non EVO / non AP) not sure about the other ones.
...

Check if your boot heel inserts and the binding heel pins are perfectly aligned (when toe stepped in), ATKs are known to be very sensitive to misalignment.

ATK stoppers are really true to size or even small, I'll take the 97mm, but if the 91mm are cheaper they'll fit with a bit of bending.

@andy I have 108mm stoppers on 112mm skis but I had to bend...

The RT 10 Evo toe is a bit less beefy, maybe a bit less durable if used inbounds regularely. You still can put a freeride spacer if you want to on that model.

With the new AL16 spacer you can also have a spacer on the Kuluar and the Crest.

No they can't. The AP and non AP heels are different.

Just asked them on IG about the difference between the AP and EVO brake system, FYI

On the AP models you need to hold down the rear pedal as you turn the head of the binding, as shown here. With...

@Meter, did Moment check your setup with your boot ? If your boot is not 100% aligned with the binding, I mean, if the heel of the boot has like 2mm of misalignment with the heel of the binding, that...

Don’t buy a binding on the first year, and yes, it’s not really a new system but just an adjustment of the toe spring strength, I mean the lateral release is still at the heel.
I’d say go with the...

R/FR are great for bigger guys, skiing the resort (touring from the lifts), and mounting on « real » skis > 2100g though :)

I use the middle (first) riser like 95% of the time.

Next year RT10 EVO is compatible with next year freeride spacer, and get 2 climbing aids.
The first RT10 was basically a Crest with 20g less and 200€ more, now it’s more or less a R12 with the...

1/ In my experience with the 97 and 108, yes.

2/ yeah that’ll work. Maybe a tiny bit of bending for the 102.

@Mottn that’s weird because my 97 is 97mm I had to bend them a little to fit my 99mm...

There is a 60mm plate for all race style ATKs : https://www.atkbindings.com/fr/prodotto/accessoires/race-accessories-fr/plaque-pour-location/

The RT toe has the release/tension adjustment thingy which goes from 1 to 7 or something like that and isn’t on the HR or any other ATK binding so it’s not the same toe.
I thought the weight savings...

ATK pricing structure isnt super logical anyway.

Because of the release adjustments both vertical and lateral of the Haute Route.
Boot adjustment system / range is the same between Trofeo and HR, same plate.

I charge quite a bit, big turns, but I don't jump cliffs. I'm 68kg / 179cm and I almost never prerelease, I set my DIN at 8 and it's enough. So people prereleasing much might have a different...

I don't see the point of the Haute Route unless you're sharing the bindings with someone else.
I'd say go Trofeo if you don't want stoppers, go Kuluar if you want them.
Note that the Kuluar 12 come...

FYI, sorry if already posted, just asked ATK about the release value of the U of the Kuluar and compatibility with the other ones that their selling :

ATK Kuluar 9 is sold with the “U” spring of 6...

They’re were brand new so I don’t know regarding hole conflicts ...

:D

20 days on old Raider 2, 40 on the new R12.

I have no trouble with the rear brakes. However I had some with the font ones not locking or really difficult to lock. I guess everyone experience is...

I'm 68kg and the spacer IS noticable.
Like you I wish the R12 + spacer was cheaper than the FR14.
I set my DIN at 8 and I'm not comfortable using a LT (non normed) binding at the very first value...

C-Crest 10, Crest heel, C-Raider toe : https://www.majestyskis.com/skis/bindings/majesty-c-crest-10

Any more info/pictures/specs of the FR16 online ?

102 if you don’t want to bend them.
I took 97 for my 99 Mantra VW and had to bend them. 102 won’t be too wide.

Good question :D

Yes it’s crazy, I wonder who attacked them ...

This one is already available, 1.5 / 5
https://www.sport-conrad.com/en/products/atk/candy-5.html

Length adjustment of 50mm is a nice touch for growing up kids.

Just buy a FR14 / R12 and save money elsewhere on skis, skins, whatever, IMO not worth the hassle. Or just ski the Crest as is ...

1/ No, ATK stoppers runs small, you need the 108mm.

I have almost the same pair, 2017 VW Katana with silver 2020 R12 :)
Mounted at +1.5 and used 108mm stoppers, it required some bending though, but I was afraid 120mm would be too large.
I have a...

Why not ? You don’t need a beefy binding with strong dampening for powder.

Nice !

R12. I ski at 7 or 8 depending on bindings and I ski the R12 at 8. R12 will be better for resale also.

Nope, you need 108mm and even that one will require light bending.

Yes it works in touring mode so if you lose a ski in tour mode it will help to stop it although with the skins on there is not much risk for the ski to go very far anyway.
You have to engage the...

Do you know if the C-Raider 12 comes with the freeride spacer included as a bundle or it's extra ?
And did they keep the system where you can set the toe release force when walking ?

I'd still buy the R12 because it's prettier and doesn't have the exposed springs at the toe :)

I’m not sure but they’re removable on last year Raider 2.0. 12 (front stoppers)

Yep, DIN starting at 8 is too much for me too.

And I confirm that I had some BMT 109 mounted with the old Raider 2, so the toe with the narrow pattern (same as plum, crest, etc), which is half outside the H, half inside, and no issues but I’m...

The new ATKs R12 / FR14 toes have a wider pattern that fits in the H anyway. The heel also fits, like on the old Raider 2.

The Mantra VW has a layer of titanal and the Volkl France rep told me you...

Since it was asked before : The ATK rear stoppers fits about 2mm more without bending.
The 97mm stoppers fits my 99mm skis without bending, the 108mm stoppers had to be bent a bit to fit my 112mm...
