Developed in close collaboration with Atomic athletes like Daron Rahlves, Tonje Kvivik, and Craig Murray, the Shift² 16 MN delivers pro-level Freeride performance in a stable and versatile hybrid binding that climbs efficiently and charges with full confidence on the descent. The Micro AFD houses an aluminum Power Block that increases lateral stiffness for superior power transfer, while a reinforced baseplate with metal and rubber boosts precision and absorbs vibration. A 3-Part Power Heel maximizes shock absorption and improves retention in big-mountain terrain. The full-aluminum Hike and Ride Switch delivers superior strength and smooth transitions between uphill and downhill. Multi Norm Certified, this ski binding is compatible with every normed ski boot on the market.
