Atomic Backland Summit 9 BR

Atomic says about the Backland Summit 9 BR

Offering Release Value Adjustment and flex absorption, the Atomic Backland Summit 9 BR is an all-round touring binding with maximum versatility and user-friendliness, making touring easy and accessible to all skiers. The Release Value Adjustment offers release values up to 9 for trustworthy operation, superior safety, and performance. The AutoFlex System features a spring in the heel mechanism that automatically provides 5mm of travel between the toe and heel during the arc of a turn. The result is an easy-to-use binding that provides elasticity to support the natural ski flex and further enhances safety, absorption, and performance. A Climbing Aid easily adjusts from 0° to 7° or 13° with a simple flick of ski pole and touring brakes feature a unique lock system that switches easily from hike to ski mode. The Patented Step-in Aid guides the boot perfectly into position. The Alu/PA Pin Toe and Heel uses high-performance PA material that’s reinforced with fiberglass to keep the binding lightweight for climbing, yet strong and reliable for the down.
