excellent

Awesome review, very informative. Having fractured my ankle in tech bindings last year I'm definitely eyeing these.

Will keep my Cast 2.0 for now

Great talk on sizing. I wear a 9.5 shoe and have been on 6.0 T-race for a long time last year I tried a 26.5 scarpa the TX pro and felt pinching in toes I am wondering if what I need to make the transition to ntn would be a 26.0 on the new boot. Any thoughts.

That touring height mode is a dealbreaker for me. I’ve been waiting years for these to build a ‘lightweight’ free tour set-up (Moment Deathwish Tour 104s) for firmer conditions and longer tours compared to my current set-up (Moment Deathwish Tour 112s), but getting a narrower ski and standing that much taller is not confidence inspiring to me. As a point of philosophical discussion, I find it interesting how ATK produced a binding with better downhill features than uphill. Personally, my primary reason for wanting this style of binding is the alpine toe release mechanism. Maybe I’m wrong for this, but I would have anticipated (and been fine with) ATK using the traditional ‘pin’ style heel piece. This would position the binding as more of an uphill or mixed-performance binding and likely be even lighter. Perhaps we’ll see this in the future, but at the risk of sounding dramatic on the internet (lol), I’m honestly disappointed in the climbing height of that toe piece. While I’m no engineer, I am confident if ATK set it as a design goal, that toe height could come down. ….and the day that happens, I’ll be placing an order. Until then, it’s another pair of Shift gen 1s for this guy.

Not a fan how you enter for touring mode with the toe; also the stance seems to be pretty high. I am a huge fan of Fritschi Tecton: less weight, alpine heel, front and back DIN adjustable, cheaper, works 100 % reliable. I'm currently using ATK Raider 13 for touring and Fritschi Tecton on two of my Freetouring skis. Thanks for the review.

My back part of the binding rotates when I go up, and unintentionally clips my shoes! It is utterly annoying. What can I do?

How flat ist the skiing delta in Reality? Would love to know what the pin delta for a ZGTP would be. Comment on the negative toring delta, clever from ATK to sell an abvious design compromse as a feature!.

What is the difference between the mens and womens? I know they list the flex as 120/110 but I can't tell the difference floor flexing.

no din cert, i smell shiiiiit!

Fantastic tips. Thank you!

Lets talk about that Tecnica prototype boot!

Thank you so much!! I noticed that my skis were starting to chip and get damaged and I didn’t know how to properly address the problem but after a little research I came across your video and it’s perfect! Is there a specific super glue you recommend and what should I do to prep my skis before applying the glue to the damage?

How do I get these asap? The launch edition seems to be sold out.

How does it compare to the Dynafit Rotation?

Hi Is there gap between the ski boot and ski in toe area ?

i still use a brand new T2 eco from last year. How does it compared?

What are the differences with the Fritschi Tecton? Pros/Cons

I have this issue - when I align the binding for one boot, second one is misaligned like in the video. Is it possible the boots are defective?

What was it like doing step and firm traverses in tour mode? Could see the pin height being an issue or helpful

Does the mount pattern match the Raiders or is it a completely new pattern? Thanks for the review!

Great video! Thanks!

Can you switch from downhill to touring without stepping out of the toe?

daaaamn those are pretty

The Marker Kingpin m-works are 620g.

A zoom in on the parts of the binding you’re talking about would be great.

Aren't we comparing this to bindings with 12mm elastic travel, Kingpin and 47mm shift, weight aside, and purchase lever, this binding seems to be delivering low elasticity to weight ratio that seems more looks than function???? Your skis don't flex properly, or at least as designed, ATK are in my mind more capable than this.

How much toe elasticity does it have? 8:45 - "The real advantage of [the shimmed AFD/ is that you're not going to have any strange pre-releases and failures from that plate slipping up and down". Whatever could he be referring to there? The behavior he's describing sounds pretty Shifty... (seriously, I use Shifts on my powder skis, and as long as you keep an eye on that screw every couple weeks and position it on the most solid part of the "step" it's OK).

How does it compare to the ski trab tr1?

Didn't understand why no DIN certification. Given what they are trying to achieve with this binding (and also price point), seems that being able to cite a DIN is a must.

Great overview. Haven’t seen a demo in English so this was great to see. Excited to see more options and innovation for the hybrid binding space. I’ve been running the Feeeraider 15 EVO and they’ve been fantastic

SKi trab Tr1 is lighter! And significantly cheaper 🙂

Not a review just an overview!

Sounds amazing. Although I'll probably wait until price comes down a bit. ATK site says 799 Euro rn which is over 2x the Shifts.

Deepest dive since the embargo, thanks Cripple Creek crew 🤘

Great. Scarpa need a 32 mondo size please..... I would love to get out of my 75MMs....

Wait what?! 26.5 and an 11 running shoe? That doesn’t compute. You mean 26.5 mondo? I must be missing something.

After being on these for almost a month: 1) bellows do soften quite a bit - you can ski low if you want 2) WAY more orsional rigitity than the old boots - if your technique was tuned to your old worn out tx pros you might notice being a bit out of position at times until you adjust. 3) walking performance is NIGHT AND DAY compared to the previous generation - I have gotten some ice in the walk lever once but its easily cleared with a leatherman or similar 4) the sole on the toe is a little shaved down compared to a new pair of previous gen boots - handy if you are stepping into Meidjo with brakes as it's easier to get into the pins - Lynx also easy (and no issues with the claw on my setups) - perhaps a bit looser feeling on a frame binding like the Outlaw / X. If your old boots were really worn on the toe you might not notice a difference. looking forward to seeing what the Comp version skis like

Anyone else with this boot and 22 Designs Lynx bindings feel like the second heel/duck butt is a little loose/sloppy vertically? When the boot heel is all the way downs theres maybe 2-3mm of vertical space between the butt and the claw. I have preloads on both springs and my new TX Pro boots still flop up and down enough to be annoying. This is my first NTN boot/binding setup, so maybe theyre always a little loose. Laterally, everything is tight and good and overall I like the boots a lot.

Cool to see so much in common with my review! I can totally see a patroller liking these. I still think they leave some things on the table for the hardcore chargers out there who are more focused on downhill. After 6 days of uphill I gotta say I love how much better they tour than the old boots, but I am sticking to my guns, the last generation skis downhill better.

Will the comps have tech inserts?

Ive found it very hard to ski. Extremely stiff and i had a hard time "feeling" the bend through a turn. The cuff is so stiff, it almost hurts when you do a real tele turn. Maybe i get used to it, but thus far not a fan.

Scarpa CEO Kim Miller has already confirmed an updated TX comp coming for winter 25/26

for a minute I thought that you tele-d. Still good advice.

I find the Liner OK except for the stiff-ish tongue, which instantly gives me shin pain. Stiff compared to most alpine liners and also Intiutions, so bit of an outlier. All the other fit changes play out quite well for me (I have a mediu/narrow foot if that makes sense, can ski most 97/98 alpines with some 6th toe punch)

Love Voilé skis. Wish they would simplify their lineup for construction types. It’s pretty confusing with all the different construction types combined with all their different models. Love their fish scale skis.

Can we get a review on the tx93? considering adding it to my quiver in the wasatch as a steep and firm condition ski/everyday driver. Would also love to hear how you sized the length of it for your height.

It would have been helpful if you demonstrated the proper procedure for measuring his feet to determine the shell size before you did the shell fit. Many skiers do not know their mondopoint size. Often we have people bring in boot’s they have ordered on line that don’t fit properly. I always start by doing a proper measurement with a mondopoint scale. I measure the feet unweighted then have the customer stand and weight the foot to observe what happens to the toes, arch, instep and ankle. Then we proceed from there.

How does it compare to the Quattro? ROM, fit, flex?

How well could this boot ski a 184 Deathwish Tour (112, 1750g)? Should I look at the quattro pro instead?
