The Atomic Shift 13 MN is a hybrid ski binding that blends the uphill efficiency of a tour binding with the downhill performance expected in freeride terrain. It’s built to handle both skin tracks and steeper descents, giving you the flexibility to explore varied backcountry lines without switching gear.
Featuring an adjustable DIN range from 6 to 13, this binding adapts to a wide range of skier weights and styles, from lighter backcountry explorers to more aggressive off-piste riders. Weighing in at 880 grams, it keeps your pack light for long ascents while maintaining the strength and reliability needed for challenging downhill runs.
The DIN setting determines how much force it takes for the binding to release your boot during a fall. A lower DIN value releases more easily, which can help prevent injuries for lighter skiers or in less demanding terrain, while a higher value holds firmer under stronger impacts. The 6–13 range ensures you can fine-tune your release setting to match your weight, skiing style and snow conditions.

Atomic says about the Shift 13 MN
The Atomic Shift 13 MN is a game-changer: the world’s first binding with full touring and freeride capability in one. It’s a genuine tech binding for hiking complete with pins. Then flick the hike/ride switch to ski mode and it turns into a genuine freeride binding for the way down, compatible with all ISO normed alpine and touring boots on the market – alpine and touring. So, for the first time you don’t have to compromise when you’re touring or skiing – either by hiking with a heavy solution like frames or skiing downhill with pins. You get the best for both. And even better, you can also use it for your alpine skiing days with your normal alpine boot. Finally, one binding for everything!
