The Atomic Shift² 13 MN is the hybrid binding for freeride tourers who want the efficiency of a pin binding on the climb and the power and safety of an alpine binding on the descent. Developed with direct feedback from Atomic's freeride athletes, the second generation of the Shift brings a whole new level of durability, power and versatility – ideal for skiers who first climb to remote powder slopes and then ski them without compromise.
The Micro AFD creates a more precise connection between boot and binding, while the aluminum Power Block inside the AFD reinforces the construction – for 30% more lateral stiffness and noticeably better power transfer. Larger toe wings increase shock resistance, and the oversized toe lever adds extra stability. The redesigned brake lever locks more reliably and prevents unintentional release, while the updated climbing aid delivers 4 mm more lift for efficient walking. Thanks to Multi-Norm certification (MNC), the binding fits every normed ski boot on the market, with release values from 6 to 13.
