Atomic Shift

Yes. The Atomic Shift 13 is compatible with standard ISO 5355 alpine boots, as well as ISO 9523 touring boots and GripWalk soles, making it a highly versatile option if you switch between different boot setups.

The binding features a simple hike-and-ride switch located on the toe piece. Flipping this switch retracts the tech pins for downhill skiing or engages them for uphill touring, allowing you to switch modes without stepping out of the binding.

Absolutely. Unlike many lightweight touring bindings, the Shift 13 is designed to perform like a traditional alpine binding on the descent, offering a DIN range up to 13 and a low-profile chassis that ensures excellent power transmission and safety.

At 880g per binding, they are heavier than dedicated, ultralight pin bindings but significantly lighter than frame touring bindings. They are best suited for skiers who prioritize downhill performance and resort versatility over shaving every possible gram on the ascent.

No, the Shift 13 can be mounted on any flat-top ski. However, because they are designed for both resort and backcountry use, they are most commonly paired with wider, all-mountain or freeride skis.
