ATK Raider 13 Evo Bindings

The 2026 ATK Raider EVO 13 stands at the forefront of alpine touring binding design, offering a rare mix of lightweight efficiency and aggressive downhill capability. At just 370 grams per binding, it’s remarkably light for how much power and safety it brings to the table, perfect for ambitious skiers who don't want to compromise.

Why we like it:

This is just about as close as it gets to a “do-it-all” tech binding. Light enough for big tours, but confidence-inspiring enough to charge when the line gets steep.

Who it's for:

Built for advanced to expert backcountry skiers who want a featherweight binding that doesn't sacrifice performance on technical descents.

Highlights:

The Raider EVO 13 features a fully adjustable toe and heel release system (5–13 DIN), allowing for precise tuning to match your skiing style. The heel piece rotates 180° for seamless transitions and includes automatic brake engagement, while the Elastic Response System offers a 25° rotating heel unit ensuring consistent contact even under heavy flex and vibration. Three riser positions (+0, +34mm, +49mm) offer adaptable climbing support, and the built-in brakes offer widths from 86 mm up to 120 mm.

Things to consider:

While the EVO 13 is one of the most confidence-inspiring tech bindings available, but skiers transitioning from alpine bindings should expect less elasticity and dampening at high speeds.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Offered with brake widths to match a range of ski waists, and adjustable in both lateral and vertical release from 5–13, the EVO 13 is ready to be dialed in to your setup and skiing needs.
