The daily challenge at ATK isn't just about constantly innovating the world of PIN bindings but doing so while keeping our (ATK's) products the lightest on the market. The RT 11 EVO is a testament to this: under 330 grams, it incorporates the revolutionary elastic absorption capabilities of the EVO toe piece and our (ATK's) most advanced ski brake management system. Available with adjustable release values from 3 to 11, the RT 11 EVO is designed to allow skiers to elevate their downhill performance without sacrificing the lightweight benefits of a Touring approach.

Toe piece —

• The RT 11 EVO toe piece, like those in the Raider EVO range, has adjustable lateral release values. This means the heel and toe pieces work together to manage releases and absorb external forces, greatly enhancing the skiing experience even in the most challenging snow. The new geometry of the adjustable toe piece makes it capable of absorbing even the high frequency vibrations typical of off-piste skiing, ensuring the ski mountaineer’s safety on any terrain.
• This toe piece was redesigned to improve downhill performance with its hybrid mounting pattern—narrow at the front holes and wide at the rear. Its ergonomic lever, designed with a specific joint, makes opening, step-out, and closing operations easier.
• Snowpack Proof System: we carefully designed all the components in this toe piece to prevent snow and ice from accumulating under the locking mechanism, ensuring it remains safe and easy to operate even on the coldest days with frequent transitions.
• Integrated Rampant support.

Heel piece —

• Cam Release System: ATK’s signature patented system that contributes to an effortless step-in and grants amazing torsional stiffness.
• EVO Brake System: a single hand will be enough to manage the ski brake. By rotating the head of the bindings by 180 degrees, the ski brake activates and the binding switches from uphill to downhill mode. At this point, simply step-in to start having fun. Similarly, simply rotate again and press the boot heel on the rear plate to lock the ski brake in position and start the ascent.
• Elastic Response System: it ensures precise releases and optimal skis performances by facilitating their natural flex, enhancing downhill performances.
• Both lateral and vertical release value are adjustable.
• Up to 20mm of length adjustability.

Performing Through Lightness —

Our foundation, our roots. ATK took its first steps in this industry by developing lightweight race bindings, and now, as then, lightness is key to achieving what athletes crave: speed. Therefore, it's easy to understand why “performance through lightness” has been the mantra that has accompanied ATK's growth in its early years.

As our role in the ski mountaineering universe started to evolve, we needed some stabilization because it's easy to lose control during a phase of growth, just as it is easy to get caught up in the events. That's why we decided to keep our roots stable, not changing our approach to the activity, and ultimately not getting in our own way.

In fact, as we expanded our catalogue to include the speed touring, touring, and free touring categories, we remained steadfast in our commitment to enabling an ever-wider range of ski mountaineers to achieve performance through lightness.

Durability —

Crafted from high-quality materials and engineered to withstand the rigors of backcountry skiing, the RT 11 EVO offers exceptional durability and reliability. The carefully machined components and thoughtful construction ensure longevity to this tech binding, providing peace of mind during your most demanding adventures.
