ATK AL09 Freeride Spacers

Superior edge control! Toe pieces on tech bindings provide more stiffness and precision than alpine binding toe pieces. The same isn't true for heel pieces: on tech bindings, the boot sole cannot be in touch with the ski because boots have different sole thicknesses. Until now! The ATK AL09 FreeRide Spacer eliminates the performance gap between tech and alpine bindings – providing astonishing downhill performance. Get the most from your equipment in all skiing conditions. Torsional and vertical movement (“slop”) common to lesser tech bindings, already minimized by our ROTATIONAL CAM SYSTEM® heel, are now entirely eliminated. Ski with edge control not achievable in other tech bindings. The spacer eliminates the gap between the sole of the boot and the ski/binding, reducing stress — especially from big hits –– on the boot/binding interface by directly transferring force to the ski instead of the binding pins. Two elastic slide anti-friction pads grant proper side release when the space
