In an attempt to suss out the dizzying ATK lineup, I put together a spreadsheet and posted it to the 300g binding thread (https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...83#post5917083).
@Calbrit suggested starting up a thread dedicated to ATK binders, and here it is. He mentioned a Freeraider thread, but I couldn't find it. If anyone has any links you want me to stash in this post, lemme know.
Some relevant links (non-TGR):
Associated TGR Threads:
Notes:
- User measured pin delta (ramp angle) and riser heights were added to the chart below.
- If you're sending in a measurement, please measure the distance from ski top sheet to center of toe and heel pins. While not perfect, it's the most transferable way of measuring this (that's how skimo does it as well).
- Two comparison rows were added at the bottom (Fritschi Vipec Black, Plum Guide 12) to give you a riser height reference.
- For numbers retrieved from skimo.co, their riser deltas look reasonable, but their intermediate numbers (the raw riser height in the column below) are inconsistent, and I left them out.
Toe Height = Height from topsheet to center of pins with boot engaged (subtract any shims you've added).
Heel Height = Height from topsheet to center of pins (subtract any shims you've added).
Riser Height = Height from topsheet to where center of pins would engage in boot fitting (subtract any shims you've added).
Ramp Delta = Heel height minus Toe Height
Riser Delta = Riser height minus Toe Height
I'll update the spreadsheet and screen shot (below) with 2020/2021 info. The catalog link is above.
2020/21 Model Year Notes:
- The Raider/Freeraider name now refers to the heel brake version of the line which now has 3 bindings.
- The 3 versions in the Raider line are: Raider-12, C-Raider-12 (carbon base plate on toe), and Freeraider-14
- The old Raider 12 (front brake) has been renamed the "Front 12" and there is no longer a 14 RV version with a brake at the toe.
- The Haute Route gets a new buddy in the speed touring category - the Release 10 @240g (key features are elastic travel at the heel and some carbon composite)
A downloadable copy of the spreadsheet is here (Excel 2013): https://galibierdesign.com/images/other_forums/ATK_Comparison.xlsx

I'm not that familiar with the race bindings, so details like risers and such might be off. I think I got the OEM binding names from Hagan and BD correct. Lemme know and I'll make the necessary connections.
A couple of questions were raised. Might as well paste them (and answers) here as well ...

Nice. Some good nuggets in that freeraider thread too.
Still not that sure on RT 10 vs Crest main difference.... seems odd they are both in the line. Perhaps they won’t come next season.

Other than that and 20g there is no other major difference, the RT10 may have a slight better finish.
