The ATK C-Raider 12 2.0 is a ski touring binding from ATK (Elan) designed to support backcountry adventures, balancing the needs of uphill efficiency with reliable downhill security.
Weighing just 305 g per binding, the C-Raider 12 2.0 helps reduce fatigue during long ascents, while its binding range of DIN 5–12 allows you to fine-tune the release force to match different skier weights and styles. This combination makes it easier to climb without sacrificing confidence when you switch to the descent.
The DIN scale (Deutsches Institut für Normung) defines the force at which the binding releases your boot to help prevent injury. A setting of 5 suits lighter skiers or gentler terrain, while 12 provides higher retention for heavier skiers or more aggressive descents. Adjusting within this range lets you find the right balance between security and safety.
