Holy crap these ATK guys have a need to expand the catalog?

Haha!
However, it does sound like it’s a truly new binding design/style, in contrast to the fact that their current catalog is so large (partially) because they offer just about every possible combination of various components like heel turret, heel base, and toe unit.

Honestly, I'm happy that they are on the market. Yes, it's hard to keep up with their SKUs, but their will to develop and improve is simply amazing. Rare example where business owners are passionate mad mind engineers that bring us tons of different options to choose from and geek about... As an opposite, shitty Shift2 comes in mind, where they can't even fix basic issues 5 years after the release, not even talking about improvements.

Hello
Need to replace the brakes on FR15 EVO, from 120 to 108. Got the spare brakes but could not find any intel on how to do it. Any manual or vid tutorial somewhere?
Thank you [emoji1317]

Has ATK updated the forward pressure adjustment for the new Freeraiders? They no longer come with the little 4mm stick in the box and now have markings on the pins. Do these markings go inside the boot? Outside the boot? Is it still 4mm and I can just use the stick?

There's a copy of the instructions in the pictures.

is the toe mount pattern with FR15 EVO and others again the same as it was with ATK Freerider 14 2.0, the one with the toe brakes?

[turnfarmer]

IIRC, the new binding with toe release was supposed to be announced in November.
Anyone in the know if this is still going to happen.

No, they're different

[Preserved]

What is different about each binding in how it relates to ski width? Is the mount pattern wider on the Crest and Raider models? I'd like to pair up ATK RT 11 Evos ( up to 102mm skis). with a 105 to 106 waist ski. What can go wrong, other then the brakes not fitting well. What if I mount a Houte Route on this same ski?

[Westcoaster]

Every permutation works, Evo line has the widest mount pattern. Crest, rt and haute route are a mix of legacy toe patterns (getting phased out it seems) and the newish "wide" and "narrow toe", and mixed "wide" and "narrow" heel patterns.

Copy/pasting my post from another thread below.
It's an issue with Tapatalk pro and iOS 18. I think if you use the non pro version you shouldn't have any issues. At least that's what I could tell from some research. It appears to be a business decision by Tapatalk and it's happening before it touches TGR's forum.

As far as I can tell it's not an issue with a computer, the android app, or the mobile browser.

Does anyone regret mounting Freeraider Evos?

Coming from old Dynafit Verticals, which I never had a problem with but they are getting a bit long in the tooth and due for retirement.

I’m a bit skeptical of any binding with heel risers that flip up and down. I snapped a Dynafit Radical heel riser once and immediately switched back to the Verticals. Looks like there is some evidence of snapped ATK heel risers. Perhaps Plum Guide is a more durable option?

Adjustable toe release seems like a great feature, but is it truly an improvement or more of a gimmick?

Durability, downhill performance and reliable release are definitely important to me. Weight not so much.

They are easily the best skiing tech binding I have used, the toe not packing snow is also a huge plus.

The risers don't flop if you press them down, then they subtly seat in between the pins, I'm sure some people have broken them, but it's definitely not a regular issue.

The only regret people can have in my mind is that they are overkill and you could buy something cheaper and lighter if you wanted.

Does anyone have any calibration test results with this? Despite following this thread, I've seen little on the safety of this new feature and am also curious.

It's not a safety feature, the boot release is still managed by the heel like on most tech bindings, I.E. not a release at the toe. It just allows for variable clamping force at the toe, which before you had to go by word of mouth and buy plum guide toes or something like that if you wanted toes with stronger clamping force in the toes to help avoid pre-release.

Thanks for easing my mind!

[~mikey b]

we have one with a broken heel riser in the shop right now - waiting for parts to fix it

Just to avoid a little confusion, this isn't strictly correct, the side release is the sum of the toe and heel release together. So unless they are releasing at completely different times (like on a Dynafit Rotation) cranking up the toes will increase the side release.

Thats why its hard to get touring bindings to go very low on the side release.
