This part of the binding is a true masterpiece of precision engineering.

It presents itself as the<strong>lighter evolution<\/strong>of the tried and tested Raider binding for free touring, a model that has proven reliable and safe on every descent over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a light binding, but not very light, and therefore not recommended for \u2018racers\u2019 who look to the stopwatch and are looking for big climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, it is not a good idea to mount it on skis that are too narrow (less than 90 mm in the centre) because it could compromise overall performance. The same applies to boots: to get the most out of this binding, it is preferable to combine it with a 3 or 4-hook, free-touring-oriented ski with good stability and control.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"mr-bt-container\"><a class=\"mr-bt\" href=\"https:\/\/mountainreview.com\/it\/go\/atk-raider-12-sl\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy Online<\/a><\/div><div class=\"cta-box\"><div class=\"cta-text\">Are you interested in other articles Atk?<\/div><div class=\"cta-bt\"><a class=\"mr-bt\" href=\"https:\/\/mountainreview.com\/en\/reviews-brand\/atk\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reviews Atk<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free touring binding evolution of a historic model, light and performing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":30499,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","attivita":[489],"categoria":[511],"tipologia":[666],"Tecnologia":[],"review-tag":[723],"marca":[1107],"backend":[],"class_list":["post-30498","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","attivita-ski-touring","categoria-gear","tipologia-bindings","review-tag-winter","marca-atk"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Atk Raider 12 SL bindings Review - Mountainreview.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Atk Raider 12 SL is the lightest evolution of the historic free-touring binding.
