Description
Description
The ATK HY Free 11 is a revolution in Hybrid ski binding design. ATK, historically known for incredibly precise tech bindings, have brought out the HY Free to bring that same precision to the Hybrid category. The HY Free offers downhill performance on par with alpine bindings whilst being incredibly light, reliable and easy to use.
The ATK HY Free is the choice for the latest generation of freetourers looking for performance, safety, and comfort at the same time. The HY Free allows for traditional release mechanisms, meaning you don't have to sacrifice your safety to tour efficiently. The HY Free 11 features a release range of 4-11 and is suited to ladies and lightweight guys.
Every structural component of the HY Free is machined out of solid aluminium giving it a ton of strength and durability. Yet the weight of the binding is a scant 675g, an entirely reasonable weight for the performance that it offers.
3 different touring heights give you the ultimate in choice while ascending. These settings are easily changed with a pole to make your ascent super efficient. No more body contortion to change your riser level!
Features
- Release Range: 4-11
- Walking Modes: -18mm, +10mm, +42mm
- Boot size Adjustment: 25mm
Toe piece:
- Alpine performance: The Hy Free delivers the responsiveness, control, and confidence of an alpine binding. The boot sits flat on the ski in ski mode, eliminating the pin-height differential typical of standard PIN bindings for a true downhill experience.
- Compatibility: The Hy is compatible with most alpine skiing, ski mountaineering, and freeride boots. To ensure safe and high performance, the Anti Friction Device (AFD) slider on the toe piece must be adjusted with various sole types. To achieve this, we have developed specific spacers that fit between the sliding section of the AFD and its underlying structure. These spacers ensure proper boot-to-binding contact while accounting for the sole's thickness. Thinner plastic soles provide a stiff connection with the binding. For this reason, we designed softer spacers that also serve to dampen vibrations. Thicker rubber soles require little to no spacers, as their rubber composition inherently provides vibration absorption.
- Seamless transitions: Switching between ascent and descent modes is effortless. Simply raise the toe arms for walking or rotate them forward and down for skiing. The intuitive design ensures reliable performance in all conditions with no needs for interchangeable parts.
Heel piece:
- Negative steps: For uphill efficiency, the Hy Free includes a unique “negative” walk mode that allows the boot heel to drop slightly below the toe level. This reduces strain and improves stride efficiency, especially for freeride boots with limited cuff mobility and during long flat approaches.
- Walking modes: The Hy also features two heel raisers for easier uphill progress, both activated easily even with the pole.
- Hy Brake System: The rear ski brake locks automatically when the heel piece is in walk mode. This means that when the real lever has been pushed fully forward the ski brake can be locked in position with a simple press of the rear paddle. When transitioning to ski mode, it seamlessly unlocks by pushing the rear lever backwards, ensuring hassle-free use.
