These products haven't arrived yet in-store but they are expected soon!
ATK's sweet spot. Light enough for long days in the mountains, featured enough that you don't feel like you're giving something up on the descent.
The Crest 10 is CNC-machined from 7075 aluminium in Modena, Italy, with stainless steel components in the wear zones. The Speed Toe uses a hybrid mounting pattern and an ergonomic lever that opens, closes, and steps in cleanly even in worn boots or deep snow. The Cam Release System limits boot torsion for precise, consistent release across the full 4–10 DIN range with both lateral and vertical release in the heel. Elastic Response System allows the ski to flex naturally underfoot rather than fighting the binding, which shows up as better feel on hard snow.
The 2026/27 update brings fully automatic ski brakes: rotate the heel piece and the brake retracts in one motion, no lateral button required. Two magnetic heel risers click up quietly with a pole tip and stay put without rattling on the skin track. 20mm of boot length adjustment covers most sharing scenarios.
At 300g with brakes it punches well above its weight class. The Raider 11 or 13 is the step up for skiers who ski harder or for wider skis; the Crest 10 is the right call for everyone else.
