Features: Din range: 6-14 Skier weight range:>130lbs Experts Stand Height: 16.5mm (low profile) Super Sturdy Steel Heel Track: The Atomic FFG Team series feature a steel, single piece, machine bored heel track that is as close to unbreakable as we've ever seen. The heel track of most bindings is bent, rounded steel that is about 1 or 2 mm thick, these heel tracks have not been bent into shape but instead have had their shape bored out of a solid thick piece of metal. Elastic Pedal: The AFD under the ball of the foot allows for proper function even when ice, dirt, or snow get stuck to the bottom of the boot. Composite Materials: The parts of the binding that need to be metal are made of steel, but the majority of the binding is a superdense, superlight plastic composite material. This gives the binding the ruggedness of a more metallic binding, without all the added weight. Stomp Pedal Shock Absorber: Essentially what these means is that the plastic directly beneath the toe of your boot is a little flexier than the other parts of the binding, which helps absorb some shock (like in bumps or landing jumps). Steel Housing: Both the toe and heel pieces of this binding are housed by very durable steel. It makes the binding a bit heavier than one that uses more plastic, but it also means that these bindings will stand up to abuse as well as any. These are great bindings marketed to the freeride crowd. The low stand height and wide brake arms included are great features for the Park and Powder skiers who want better balance and have wider skis. |
