ATK HY Free Binding

The HY Free is designed to mimic the feel of an alpine binding, offering a natural, flat-skiing sensation that provides high levels of control and precision. While it is a touring-focused binding, it bridges the gap by prioritizing downhill performance without sacrificing the efficiency needed for the ascent.

The binding features an adjustable anti-friction device (AFD) and a 25mm boot size adjustment range, making it compatible with a wide variety of touring and hybrid boot soles. It is always a good idea to have a certified technician verify the fit with your specific boot model before your first outing.

Not at all. The system is engineered for intuitive, smooth transitions that require no extra components or complex steps. You can switch between modes quickly, which is essential when you are dealing with changing terrain or cold conditions.

The DIN range is 4-11, which covers a broad spectrum of skiers from intermediate to advanced. It is an excellent choice for freeride enthusiasts who want a lightweight setup for backcountry touring but still demand reliable retention and power transfer on the descent.

The binding offers three distinct walking modes (-18mm, +10mm, and +34mm) to help you manage varying steepness levels during your ascent. These settings allow you to maintain a more efficient and comfortable posture, reducing fatigue on long climbs.

At 675g, the HY Free is built to be lightweight, which significantly reduces swing weight and fatigue during long tours. This construction balances durability with efficiency, ensuring you have enough energy left for the descent.
