Atomic Shift2

The Shift2 is a hybrid binding, meaning it features a pin-tech toe piece that allows for a natural walking motion during uphill touring. Once you reach the summit, you can lock it into a high-performance alpine mode that functions exactly like a standard downhill binding for maximum security and power transfer.

The Shift2 is Multi-Norm Certified (MNC), which means it is compatible with almost all standard ISO boot soles, including traditional alpine, touring, and Walk-to-Ride (WTR) soles. It is designed to accommodate the widest possible range of boot standards without needing to swap parts.

Yes. Unlike many lightweight touring bindings, the Shift2 uses an Aluminum Power Block to increase lateral stiffness and power transmission. It is built to handle high-speed, aggressive skiing and provides the same level of retention and safety as a dedicated alpine binding.

Yes, the Shift2 is fully compatible with ski crampons. This is essential for maintaining traction on icy or steep skin tracks during your ascent.

Each binding weighs 920 grams. While they are heavier than ultra-lightweight dedicated touring bindings, they are significantly lighter than a full alpine setup while offering the versatility of both touring and downhill performance.

The Micro Adjustable AFD (Anti-Friction Device) allows you to fine-tune the height of the toe piece to match your specific boot sole. This ensures a precise, secure fit and consistent release values, regardless of which compatible boot you are wearing.
