Freeride oriented skiers that want a binding able to tackle all kind of terrains like them. They are arou- sed by the idea of being able to ski even harder thanks to the Raider EVO innovation.
Tech enthusiast interested in trying an historical innovation in the pin bindings field. They love the enhanced performances that the EVOs allow but also love to understand how they do that.
Skiers with no particular budget limitation. Even if they’re not exactly experts they are able to under- stand that the Raider EVO is designed to be used by anyone and not just tech savvies. They’re fascina- ted by a top of the range binding that will allow them to think about nothing but skiing.

Features:
- Revolutionary toe piece with adjustable release value. For the first time in the history of pin bindings, the toe hasn’t a fixed release value.
- Why is this important? Because the toe pieces with a default value guarantee a medium retention which the- refore works best when the heel unit is also set to medium release values.
- What happens when you move away from these median values? At low settings the toe will provide most of the hold, while at high settings the heel does most of the work. But now, thanks to this new ATK technology, the front and rear of the binding collaborate equally in managing the releases.
- The Aluminum Snowpack Proof System, Uphill Hardness Variator and amazing geometries that facilitate the step-in.
- An integrated rampant support.
- The head of the binding can now rotate up to 25 degrees to absorb shocks (stress) before snapping back in po- sition. Compared to previous models, where the maximum angle was 16 degrees, this wider rotation ensures better energy absorption thanks to a better recall to center action.
- Thanks to the EVO system, a single hand will be enough to manage the ski brake. By rotating the head of the bindings by 180 degrees, the ski brake activates and the binding switches from uphill to downhill mode. At this point, simply step-in to start having fun. Similarly, simply rotate again and press the boot heel on the rear plate to lock the ski brake in position and start the ascent.
- The Cam Release System which means effortless step-in, and amazing torsional stiffness. All in order to grant full control on the most challenging turns. Our signature patented system, not by chance.
- Our Elastic Response System which ensures precise releases and optimal skis performances by facilitating their natural flex, enhancing downhill performances.
- A double magnet system that ensures a comfortable and immediate use of the two heel flaps.
