It would have been hard to see how ATK could improve their Raider 14 bindings but the Freeraider 15 EVO has several new features which could lead to these being the bench mark ski touring and freeride bindings on the market.
The biggest new addition is the adjustable clamping strength at the toe piece, this feaures a scale 7 - 15 to allow the toe piece tension to perfectly match the heel release tension to give a smoother release in case of a fall on a low release setting and better boot retention whilst skiing hard on high release settings.
Along with this there is a more powerful brake with better deployment and grippy brake arms and the brake is now automatic so it locks up when skinning and is always ready to deploy when skiing.
The FR 15 EVO toe piece has had an ajustment to prevent any snow packing under the pin arms when left open in step in mode and the over the front release will work with all boot toe profiles that we have tried them with.
All this onto of the already excellent features of the Raider 12 such as easy step in, freeride spacer options for enhanced ski control, the superb CAM release heel, rearward elasticity in the heel piece magnetic risers and the largely alloy construction making them very reliable and hard wearing.
Also available in 11 and 13 release value versions.
